you listed the wrong price, i saw this at my toys r us like two weeks ago and i think it was actually only $29.99, you guys can hate all you want but i think its awesome.
i lifted up the box and it was heavy, so this must be made out of resin or something, in other words its a statue, so that would probably justify the price even if it was actually 40 bucks. #darthvader

I pity anyone who wastes the money to buy this.
Also, it's not even angled properly. THe in-use picture makes it obvious that the bar is at an angle(look at the lines of the TV), and then the pictures of it, my god. The pictures of it are angled so that the bar is horizontal. Look at the bottom of vader. Notice that he's not horizontal.
The thing is built at the wrong damn angle! :|

Guy 1: "Look at what I got for my entertainment center?"
Guy 2: "Is that Darth Vader holding your Wii sensor bar? It looks like the top off of one of those shampoo bottles you'd get in 1983 with all the different character heads instead of just an opening to, you know, get the soap out."
Guy 3: "Yeah, I'm a douche." #darthvader

Everyone cried. It was made easier. Everyone cried more. Then everything that made SWG unique and fun was taken out. #starwarstheoldrepublic

I think it was already stated that in the lore of this era (sorry I am not a SW scholar) Jedi were common enough to make sense a as a class.
You would be impressed on how a well written narrative can make this feelings go away quickly. Unless you are one of "those" fans....

I was commenting on SWG, because I think Hardcore maybe didn't know how SWG's Jedi were sorted before the NGE and they started passing them around like flyers outside a nightclub. #starwarstheoldrepublic

Right, now that that's out of the way.
I know it would be silly to have a Star Wars game without Jedi and Sith, but I wonder how good of an idea this is. Judging from comments I've heard, it seems most people are going to fall squarely on these two classes, forgoing the others so they can swing a lightsaber.
Personally, if I planned to pick up the game, I'd be a smuggler (another popular choice, but still not to the degree of Jedi/Sith) but I have a strong feeling that this Old Republic world is going to be overrun with these guys. #starwarstheoldrepublic

For those of you who don't play, here's what I mean. When the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack came out, it introduced a new "hero" class, the Death Knight. Basically an Antipaladin plus a Necromancer. They also start at level 55 instead of 1, and you can only make one per server. So pretty much everyone has one. It's sort of the obligatory character, and because of that, most people aren't very attached to theirs.
So I imagine it will be like that. You'll be having a rough time with a group quest, and the bounty hunter in your group will say, "Hang on, let me log my Sith." Everyone will have one... but quickly realize that the genericness of them is not as interesting as the wealth of other classes. #starwarstheoldrepublic

If all the instances are that intimate, and they make up most of the story (which seems pretty customized to each account), maybe the player class choices won't matter as much, since you'll still be important or set apart within the instances. Basically, the story-telling shouldn't be affected much (like if they say you're their only hope or a special person despite hundreds of other so-called heroes running through the same quest in WoW right next to you).
Of course, maybe there are going to be thousands of Jedi swarming the actual public areas and grinding areas, but I'm used to ignoring strangers in MMOs anyway. #starwarstheoldrepublic

@rainofwalrus: Are you sure?

and to be completely honest, I have WOW screenshots that will blown minds. It's all about putting some effort into the screenshot. #starwarstheoldrepublic

Taking a hint from WoW, I believe there will be more Sith than Jedi's. #starwarstheoldrepublic
