Star Wars Galaxies E3 Progress Report

MMORPG.com has published a progress report for Star Wars Galaxies, based upon what they learned about both the Rage of the Wookiees expansion and the combat upgrade during this year’s E3. A snippet:

For those who kill General Grievous in the Mydraal Caverns, the reward is a brand new space ship. This lets players explore the galaxy and take part in new things like space mining. The expansion added a new ship: the Y8. The mission then continues, as the player must find a space station, reputed to be an evil place where Wookiees are tortured. There, players must infiltrate the space station in a moment that promises to provide the full out cinematic experience of combat everywhere and plant bombs. The final step is then to simply get away before the whole thing explodes. This kind of cinematic mission has the team quite excited. While it obviously is not the plot of the third film, it does bring up a number of tie-ins and should ensure that the players do feel as if they are taking part in their own classic Star Wars adventure.
