It's on EA Play (not PlayPro) so depending on how much time you have to play I would recommend subbing for one month and playing it through that. Either way, I would say it is worth checking out.

I have a few issues with it here and there that I've mentioned in various threads (maybe this one?), but overall I really liked it, and if it's on sale, absolutely go for it. It's a lot of fun.

It’s real good. Some questionable platforming here and there, some annoying backtracking, but combat is good, bosses are good, story is ok, lightsaber customization is A++

Agree with everything except the lightsaber bit. Except for being able to switch between single- and double-bladed, I felt the customization options were purely cosmetic.

I liked the cosmetics. Stuff like the kyber crystals / beam colors having distinct sounds and effects added a lot to the personalization even though the rest like hilts you’ll barely see / notice in-game

The game actually highlights your lightsaber in a lot of cutscenes - the final boss literally zooms out from your lightsaber as you ignite it to begin the fight

Heh, I’m down for something like that, but leave Rogue Squadron in the cockpit where it belongs. Downtime drama in the hangar is fine in between missions.

Well, of course I know him.

WW84’s biggest problems are plot and casting, and I’m confident Patty will have a better writing partner than Geoff “Hal Jordan” Johns for Rogue Squadron. It’s just a mediocre DC movie, not some disastrous Book of Henry situation so I’m not that worried.

The action design in WW84 was pretty bad, but it's unclear how much of that was Patty or the second unit so :shrug:

WW84 was originally supposed to be released in theaters November 2019 before it got pushed back to June 2020 in October 2018—and then COVID happened. The final cut had to have been completed before COVID hit. We know this because Patty Jenkins talked about how the delay was a blessing to further polish up the CG effects and editing... lol.

Thankfully, X-wing / space dogfighting that’s like 100% cgi should be a lot easier to not gently caress up unlike trying to make a person run alongside trucks and poo poo.

They should have a movie called B-Wing: The Movie and it’s just B-Wings doin’ things.

Fallen order players: three planets in, does the game ever get more story/character heavy or is it just nonstop parkour with optional ship banter sprinkled in

Kind of depends on what order you do the planets in, but the story is mainly just cutscenes sprinkled along the way.

There's also the echo entries you can read for a little more history and information about the places you've been, but that's not Cal's story, which is mostly in the last third of the game

You'll know it when it happens, but until then, yeeeaaah, it's mostly exploring planets for fancy ponchos and lightsaber pieces, and I understand your frustration

I hope Jabba’s son Punky Muffin comes to challenge Boba for his birthright.

Or Punky Muffin’s dead so the claim on Jabba’s throne falls to Ziro, Jabba’s gay Southern uncle on Coruscant.

Ziro died during the Clone Wars, unfortunately

Them in live-action would've been fun - fingers crossed for Rotta to return though, although depending on Hutt growth rates, he might still be the equivalent of a child or young teen

Jabba was 604 when he died
