Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Press release

The press release is not an objective source, and the language frankly offers no specific or useful information about either the game's plot or it's development -- save for one snippet, which I'll add in a bit. There is no deadline; sources for significant claims must be objective and, ya know, offer actual detail. P dump (and anyone else likeminded), please read WP:RS, WP:OR. --EEMIV (talk) 20:13, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: My main concern was to balance the page. The size of the infobox offsets the page. Plus this headline will eventually need to be added. But I would like to reduce the amount of edit clashes that we seem to have. --P dump

Plot

I have a feeling that we won't know much about the story until the game is in our consoles. But Starkiller died in the first one. (And I honestly think they intended for the game to stop there.) But this is a sequel-takes place after. But should a bit, mentioning his death in the first installment be included? --P dump (talk) 22:05, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would assume, then, that you play as Sith Starkiller (evil ending, where Sidious crushes him and then rebuilds him as a Darth Vader-ish cyborg). Just speculation on my part but that's the only thing that makes sense, unless he's resurrected or didn't die. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.26.194.190 (talk) 17:59, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Or he was brought back to life like he was between missions 3 and 4(6 & 7 for ps2, psp, and wii versions). 75.169.118.185 (talk) 22:43, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't see how they can make another one that is in context with the Star Wars storyline... without pulling a lame- "oh! he came back to life again" which is getting kind of old, don't you agree? I mean, he died like 3 times during the first game... so... i don't see how they can bring him back. It will be a very interesting sequel, that's for sure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.111.70.242 (talk) 01:54, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
He probably wasn't dead to begin with, or maybe he's a clone. We'll see when the game comes out. 75.157.115.154 (talk) 22:44, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

5 Bucks says he pulls a Revan/Exile move and kick him out to the unknown regions as it would be lame if he died again by the end of the game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.177.69.251 (talk) 13:40, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

its very possible for him to have survived, as in one star wars comic or story(forget which) darth maul, the sith sliced in half and drop at least serval dozens storys into a reractor in episode 1, brought back to life and attacked obiwan kenobi somtime in between episode 3 and 4. star killer seemed to be less wounded, and seeing as he survived(ok, was brought back to life after) being thrust into the vacum of space, being sliced up with a light saber dosnt seem half as bad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.204.217 (talk) 23:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also support the theory that he was ressurected. The plot relases say he came back at Kamino, the main clone factory for the Republic, and most likely taken over for repurposing by the Empire. If Darth Vader kept some of Starkiller's DNA, he could have been working on a "backup" copy the entire time. It makes sense, as Palpatine had control over the factory the entire time (Order 66 was either programmed or secretly taught to the clone army, being the ultra-loyal Praetorian they were), and Darth Vader could easily have "slipped" the factory a "special order" to produce after he adopted Starkiller from Kashyyyk.

Starkiller's Wardrobe

I would like to point out the similarities between Starkiller's fatigues after he removes his cloak to that of Kyle Katarn's. Both have a pad over one shoulder, same color tweed shirt, and while Starkiller is garnered with more belts and the likes, the motif is very reminiscent to that of Katarn. Is it simply a nod or just a coincidence? Or, am I the only one seeing this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.178.94.72 (talk) 17:37, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Engine

Is it known if the game will use Ronin (Havok, DMM and Euphoria) or another engine? RoboHomo (talk) 22:28, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blackman was the one who pushed for using the three engines in the first game, and if the game continues under his development, I don't think he'll discard the old formula. --95.231.99.157 (talk) 22:18, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It does [1] Kenneth Walters Kenneth Walters (talk) 13:41, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:RS, WP:VG/RS and WP:RSE, a forum post is generally considered unreliable, since anybody can edit and post, and there's no way of verifying the identity of the poster. The dicussions taking place are mere speculation and therefore is not suitable for inclusion.--The Taerkasten (talk) 15:56, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Moot point: NowGamer cites those three engine components in a piece heavily quoting Haden Blackman; looks square enough for me. --EEMIV (talk) 14:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Reference 1 looks to confirm that Havok Physics Engine, Euphoria and Digital Molecular Matter are official. Looks like it can stay. Treylander 17:06, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

also Havok, DMM and Euphoria have zero to do with the actual rendering of the engine they are only physic libraries, they still have a custom 3D rendering engine and custom toolset (as Havok, DMM, Euphoria are only libraries which almost do nothing besides motion and physics without any graphical rendering) Markthemac (talk) 16:08, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really necessary to give all the explanation of the engine in the infobox instead of in the development section? --The Taerkasten (talk) 15:10, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to move it if you think it needs to be changed. --Teancum (talk) 15:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Windows, Mac, PSP and other unconfirmed platforms.

Per WP:VG/RS and WP:RS vendors like Amazon.com and wikis like Wookiepedia are not considered reliable enough to be used as sources for this. While it's likely that there will at least be a Windows/Mac port, nothing has been officially announced, and so we can't add something that isn't seen anywhere but on those types of sites. It's nothing personal, it's just the way Wikipedia verifies that the information is factual. --Teancum (talk) 15:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A LucasArts press release published in late May confirmed a Windows version. An article stating as much is even listed in the References section (http://www.gamingtarget.com/article.php?artid=11467) and lists Aspyr Media (the PC developer) in the infobox. 66.67.39.211 (talk) 15:47, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I just added that this morning after looking for info on a PC release. --Teancum (talk) 15:49, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Has anything been verified over a PSP release yet? ggctuk (2005) (talk) 17:21, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where about PS2 had they confirm yet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.50.21.210 (talk) 16:14, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm aware, a PS2 version has not been announced.--The Taerkasten (talk) 18:17, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Repetition

Someone seriously needs to do something about the repetition of the phrase "...the game will also have/include/allow..." in the second paragraph of the "Development" section.
