Star Wars: The Old Republic – Opening Cinematic

SWTheOldRepublicV1

The Massively Multiplayer world of Star wars has not been the happiest place to play in in the past. Star Wars online came and went (or is it still going?) and for many left a bad taste in the mouth. Now we’re returning to the Star Wars universe in a much better received time period, the days of The Old Republic…  this is the opening cinematic which proves once again that the Lucasfilm kiddies know how to make stuff look good. Though it does feel like a compilation of the best bits of the other films… have a look.

Synopsis

Play Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ and be the hero of your own Star Wars™ saga in a story-driven massively-multiplayer online game from BioWare and LucasArts. Explore an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader when war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire divides the galaxy.

Choose to be a Jedi, a Sith, or from a variety of other classic Star Wars roles, and make decisions which define your personal story and determine your path down the light or dark side of the Force. Along the way you will befriend courageous companions who will fight at your side or possibly betray you based on your actions. Together, you will battle enemies in dynamic Star Wars combat and team up with other players to overcome incredible challenges.

Join us. Your personal Star Wars saga begins in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

    I’m a little bit disappointed by the design art with this, a lot of it look like copies of older material. Han Solo, Millennium falcon, the bad guys star ships, the battle droids, the guards armour, all are too similar in style.
