EDIT:  in retrospect, I do appreciate a well-done Jedi experience, but it would be really hard to implement it into FS, let alone the Battlefield 2142 engine.  FPS games just suck pie as far as recreating realistic swordplay in the same environment as guns.

Now if FS were a Clone Wars mod, that would be a whole nother ballgame....  A limited Jedi class to fight alongside Republic forces.  For the original trilogy, though, which I'm sure most people on here prefer, there aren't enough Jedi to go around,

The only games that did a great job with the jedi were the Jedi Knight series. You could actually do more than just click and get the same attack! Combo moves, diverse attacks, thats the only way to do jedi.

If you want an awesome Jedi game, wait until Force Unleashed comes out. I stumbled over it earlier this year and I was pretty impressed by what I saw. I can't wait till spring 2008.

Also, I'd hate to see Jedi introduced into FS. I find Star Wars games that you can play as the average trooper absolutely awesome (see Republic Commando) because Jedi have been done to death by Lucas Arts, that's how they make their money. However, I do enjoy games where you can play as a Jedi (see KoToR 1&2). As long as the game setting is right for Jedi they can be great, but FS is not the right setting for Jedi, they defy the point of the game. The point is teamwork, which Jedi aren't suited to. Jedi are suited to sorting out border disputes in the Outer Rim and hacking their way through legions of battle droids. Jedi are too powerful. To get a good idea of how powerful Jedi are watch the Clone Wars cartoons, they just about illustrate how powerful they are.

FS is, and always should be, about the battles of average troopers. It's a refreshing look at the Star Wars story line, which is what will get people interested. Being able to play something new is far better than having to play a same-old hack-n'-slash Jedi game.

FU would be good if it was for computers and not fail consoles

Force Unleashed looks asweomse, especially its new physics engine, but that kind of game-play just isn't right in FS. Also, its a shame that it won't be out for PC.

Re: Now Here's a Subject That Will Get a Negative Outcry...

The physics engine does look excellent, hopefully Lucas Arts will be smart and release on PC aswell, would be great to be able to mod it.
