Ms. Sand Woman,
Bring me a dream,
Make it a planet like Tatooine
Give it some Jawas and droids that are older,
and Cantinas with pilots and soldiers.
Having seen the sights of Tatooine in Star Wars The Old Republic (SWTOR) I can testify to the truth of the assessment of the place by Blaine Christine above. Who can not have grown up with Han Solo, Luke, Obi-Wan and Chewbaca blasting their way out of Docking Bay 94 and not looked forward to trodding the same sacred sand as Han and Chewie? And, of course, I had to make sure I did it at least once with my smuggler and big fuzball sidekick, Bowdar. Having played through Tatooine twice – once on the Empire side and once and the Republic side – I was delighted to find that the experience was different each time.
Between the cantina’s playing my favorite Star Wars tune “Average Brown Wookie” and the intrigue it never disappointed. One thing I missed was pod racing; and while there are presently no racing pods in the game there ARE swoops. Perhaps in the future we will see swoop racing at least; if nothing else as emergent game play. The other thing I really was hoping to see was that wretched hive of scum and villainy ,Mos Eisley spaceport. There were similar settlements and Anchorhead space port.
This area alone made the game worth while for me. What is more anyone who claims that SWTOR does not have large land masses has never been to Tatooine – it puts the “H” in HUGE.
See you online,
