Sooo...
If the game takes place "thousands of years" before Vader why are there soldiers with outfits that look remarkably similar to stormtroopers? The stormtrooper outfit evolved from the clone trooper outfit which, in turn, was derived from Jango Fett's suit (Mandalorian).
Call me a dork but having soldiers with stormtrooper-like suits makes no sense.
The Mandalorians (called Mando'ade in Mando'a, meaning "children of Mandalore") were a warlike, nomadic group of clan-based people consisting of members from multiple species. Often, they served as mercenaries and bounty hunters.
Their culture revolved around that of battle and war being a source of honor and pride in their community. The leader of the Mandalorians typically took on the title of "Mandalore." Mandalorians were frequently allied with the Sith, most notably Exar Kun and much later as a prototype for the Clone trooper under the power of Darth Sidious and the Galactic Republic, though they would not hesitate to cooperate with the Jedi if it suited them.
In later years Mandalorian Warriors wore very distinctive battle helmets with T-shaped visors that covered the entirety of their faces, which would provide inspiration for the helmets of the clone troopers. These helmets would eventually become strongly associated with the Mandalorian people.
Okay, plenty of intel about this game coming out. If you guys have been following. I'm trying to get a feel for how many Okayplayers are going to be playing this and if we are trying to get together on the same sever or what.

Yea, we still need to wait until more information comes out on the game, I agree. Can't make any hasty decisions when it comes to mmorpgs. We'll see but hopefully we'll keep in touch in the forums so we can hook up when it launches.

They've been releasing info on the planets, some classes and other gameplay things but nothing major yet as how the gamer is going to pay for it or when its getting released.
They still haven't released a beta yet so usually after beta comes out the release date can be anywhere from a few months to a year.
I'm hype about it though. I loved the KOTOR games and actually loved all the bioware games. Hopefully EA doesn't touch it. They will tho but maybe they wont touch it too much.
I can't wait to play with everyone from Okay on this.
