VII finally rolls out.  But, to fix those issues noted above I'd be making some rather notable changes to how The Force and Jedi abilities actually work.  And then letting the game unfold along lines as determined almost wholly by the PC's actions, not by NPC actions, and certainly not attempting to keep to events and canon from the movies/EU.</blockquote>
