EPISODE III RAGE
OF THE WOOKIEES
Copyright 2005 LucasArts Press Release
[ March 10th 2005 ]
LucasArts
and Sony Online Entertainment Inc. (SOE) are thrilled
to announce Star Wars Galaxies: Episode III Rage
of the Wookiees as the next addition to the popular
online Star Wars gaming experience. Episode III
Rage of the Wookiees, available to current players
two full weeks before the movie launches as a
digital download, adds a whole slew of content
taken directly from the highly anticipated Star
Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith movie, including
the adventure planet of Kashyyyk, home to the
Wookiees.
On Kashyyyk,
players will choose to defend the freedom of the
Wookiees or to fight for their Imperial-backed
Trandoshan enslavers in over 100 story-driven
adventures. Players will also explore multiple
locations of Star Wars interest, including Wookiee-controlled
tree cities, Trandoshan slave camps and the safari
lands of the affluent Rodians. New starcraft like
a new Jedi Starfighter model flown by Anakin,
along with creatures and mounts taken directly
from Revenge of the Sith, will also debut in-game
with the Episode III Rage of the Wookiees expansion.
Episode
III Rage of the Wookiees also introduces a new
type of game play: The lucrative but daring space
mining adventures allow players to mine asteroids
throughout space (including the new Kashyyyk space
sector), collecting valuable raw materials for
sale to ground-based crafters. Any starcraft can
be modified for space mining, but dedicated miners
will earn a sophisticated high-end ship, allowing
them to traverse space while mining and fighting
with up to 19 friends as shipmates!
Star
Wars Galaxies: Episode III Rage of the Wookiees
will be available for pre-order early April 2005
and available on May 5, 2005 via digital download.
