Star Wars Galaxies Episode III: Rage Of The Wookies should have more rageful Wookies

Star Wars Galaxies Episode III: Rage Of The Wookies is an unfortunate name. A rageful Wookie is a scary thing when you see it. However, the word "Wookies" combined with the word "Rage" is akin to "Bunnies" and "Vengeful." Names aside, the screens look nice. GameGossip has some of the newest images from the upcoming exapnsion pack. The space stuff is sweet, while the forest scene seems highly stylized. Oh, and there's not a wookie to be seen anywhere. They're probably raging somewhere.

Awww. I bent my wookie.
They were originally going to call the game "Rage Against the Trandoshan Enslavers: Starring Zack de la 'Bacca"

Wookiee is spelled with two Es.

i don't get the bunny analogy. wookiees seem pretty rageful. is this supposed to be about ewoks or something?

Wookiees are not rageful. Wookiees ary typically very gentle, caring for all things in the galaxy, making them great with animals. They are depicted as gentle giants, and
although strong, only fight back when provoked.
And by the way, us T'doshok (Trandoshans) are not that bad, although we helped enslave the wookies, we only did so as we were next on the empires list for slave labour, and it was either the wookiees or us, wouldn't you do the same.
Aside from this I can't wait for this expansion to come out, I've heared great things

This expansion should be called 'Rage of the Players'
A good majority of the current fan base are dissappointed with the direction the devs are going with this expansion and the developers are not doing anything about it.

I've been playing since July 2003 and thru all the crap thats happened I've continued to play. I loved it. Now I'm not so sure. They have made leveling a process that seems to be counter productive. That is if you want to solo the game.
Be absolutly clear on this. Star Wars Galaxies is now for people who want to group to do anything.
Need to go to the village but your jsut a crafter? you have to ask, beg or pay people to help keep you alive.
Want to start leveling your toon with XP? you can now only get XP from Mobs that are at or above your level. So if theres more than one agrod on you, your dead. Time to make friends if you havent already. Oh, and plan to all play at the same time. If your like our guild this means an hour or so eastern time around 6:30 to 7:30(during the week). This is the only time that our UK/Euro folks and US can play together. The UK/ Euro folks are a small number in our guild but now they will be leaving because of all this. They've been forced to give up what theyve spent the better part of two years developing jsut to switch to a new server. Of course theyre so discruntled that they are now leaving entirely.
SOE developed a game that was like no other. It wasnt GLAM like EQ2. It was a simple interface, simple mechanics, with beautiful graphics. Most importanly they left a lot of room for improvement on what they had built. Unfortunitly they decided to Scrap what they built and come up with something new.
SOE heard our complaints about lack of content, broken professions, bugged weapons and interface and decided to throw it out the window and come up with something else that will be just as bugged. Why not fix the waht you had in the first place? Why are they thinking that they can fix something by making something new? Like they're going to get THAT right on the first try.... I'm so so pissed at SOE for f'in this up. This was a simplem, cheap and safe entertainment for me that I soaked up. i got a bad feeling about this.
