  1. While those who have not taken to the Jump to Lightspeed expansion may feel a little forced to do so (and make sure you have the right ship), the game combines new missions that drive the story and give players a much better sense of being part of the Star Wars universe.
  2. Star Wars Galaxies, then, is in the best shape of its life right now, thanks in no small part to the recently released Episode III Rage of the Wookiees expansion.

    Things are finally looking up for the big-name MMO that reached for the stars but never seemed to get off the ground.
  4. It's almost as if not enough time has been spent on either this or the Combat Upgrade, making it impossible to accept RoTW as it stands. [July 2005, p.95]

    Sure the combat upgrade system has tons and tons of bugs and has caused many players considerable headaches. But its time people stopped grubbling and lived with it. The new expansion offers a new planet and space zone as well as thousands of new items. It is an expansion long overdue. Planets have become overused so this was a fresh breeze in terms of gameplay.

    A disastrous upgrade has seen many long term players quitting!. This used to be quite simply the best on the market. Now it has been dumbed down and if heads are not rolling at sony i might think it a plot to evacuate the games market. Do not be tempted until you hear different. Expand

    An awful combat upgrade marks the death of star wars galaxies. The devs completly ignored 70% of their player base and pushed it forward, and killed any individuality of the game, making it just like any other MMO on the market, except with a boring slow combat system, no real plot, and only content now being on kashyyyk. A game I would suggest avoiding at all costs. Expand

    CU ruined the entire game and ignoring the cu's testers requests to ditch the hard level system, add back in a limited combat que and give us the old icons in some fashion. Until they satisfy these 3 major problems almost EVERY tester of the CU had you cannot give this game a passing rating. They ignored the customers, pushed out the cu and ROTW and have not given satisfactory answers or reasoning behind the need for a hard level system in a game previously about crafters and community. IF you enjoyed crafting and community the great interface is all that remains. No matter what you won't top looted crap, which totally negates weapons and armor crafting as viable professions. Those who do it charge way to much for decaying items just to break even. Only viable combat profession now is BH/mixed or Jedi which just saw a major nerf. They complicated smuggling slicing and still have yet to give smugglers ANYTHING TO SMUGGLE! Can you believe these devs still have jobs? Expand
