Couldn't sleep last night, so I geeked out and put together some videos I'd recorded from the cinematic feature. Finished up the first play through, now to do it as the Empire or run the expansion. Heck of a fun game! The land based action is a lot of fun, but the game really shines with the frequent space battles.

It's a great game and I spent many, many hours playing it both offline and online. There is one huge bug though that irritated me whenever I would play the galactic campaign as the Empire. Sometimes when I would leave my death star in orbit around a planet that I had just conquered, the planet would just spontaneously blow up taking along with it all of my friendly ground units that were there. This happened several times. Grrr....

I had a bug on the Rebel side that wouldn't let me re-run a mission with Han Solo after I got him killed and he respawned in. Being a good game with a proper game save system (unlike so many today) it was no big deal due to just load up another save. I'll be on the lookout for that, thanks for the heads up.

It was tons of fun getting to use the SSD Executor though. I could take on several Mon Calamari cruisers with it and win quite easily.
