"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi, at last we will have revenge..."

A beer to the first person to know where that quote came from.. :cool:

Can't wait for this one, looking for a new game to play...Doom 3 lasted with me for what, a week before I got tired of it?

From the vids I have seen, I think SW:B will be a huge hit. Too bad only 32 players per server.

No? Thought I read 64 or 128?

According the FAQ on the site, it's "at least 32" players. I imagine you can crank it up more...

"We plan to support at least 16 human players over the Internet for the PS2 and Xbox versions, possibly more with dedicated server support. For the PC, we plan to support at least 32 human players over the Internet. For LAN games, we plan to support 32 players for the PS2 and Xbox versions, and 64 for the PC version. Of course, the total number of players for any single game will vary with network conditions and hardware performance."
