I've seen it played, and had mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it looked rather cool - a third-person shooter type, with lightsabers. However, it also looked like how most computer games seem to end up: Once you figure out the basics of shooting, using the lightsaber (which you don't really swordfight with, it's kind of automatic gameplay), etc., you just run around doing slightly different stuff, killing the same kinds of guys over and over again, the only change being in them getting faster/more accurate/tougher as the game progresses. Granted it's tough to make a really dynamic videogame, and I will sit and play Counter-Strike (a first-person shooter) for hours at a time. Counter-Strike, however, is multiplayer only, so I'm always dealing with new kinds of opponents and new tactics and arenas.
