Is the Force with Star Wars: Galaxies, the universes most ambitious online game yet?
Take a free ride on our package tour, plus get the lowdown on alien boobies, hairstyles of the Imperial elite, and why the path of the Jedi just might elude you. So, how do I become a Jedi?” I ask. That’s the million dollar question. Nearly two years ago, LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment announced Star Wars: Galaxies — An Empire Divided, a sure-fire, can’t-lose proposition if we ever heard it–a massively multiplayer game set between the events of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. Our geeky inner children imagined the setup: Choose a race, grab a light saber, and live out your life’s ambition, which for most of us means becoming a Jedi master. “We can’t tell you that,” responds Rich Vogel, SOE’s executive producer. He’s the person responsible for overseeing the development of Galaxies, and at this moment, he’s a man with a secret. Not even a Jedi mind trick could force him to reveal how to perform that very same trick in the game. And don’t think we didn’t try. WELCOME TO
