somebody was playing FFXII when he started to notice it felt a lot like Star Wars. I realize other people have probably picked up on this one by now, but feh. I want to do my own rant 
Maybe it was the x-wing vs tie fighter action trying to bring down the shields protecting the city in the opening scene.
Maybe it’s because the hero of the story is a whiny little orphan boy from the desert who likes hunting whomp rats and wants to be a pilot when he grows up.
Maybe it was the sky pirate and his exotic pilot who happens to be big and brown with fur, comes from the jungle, is of unknown (but venerable) age, talks funny, and dabbles in the odd bit of archery now and again…
Maybe it was the two zones full of sand people that I had to carve my way through.
Maybe it’s the guy(s) in the heavy armour with the familiar voice filters…
Maybe it was the princess of the recently conquered nation and the rebellion and the evil empire.
Maybe it’s the eerily similar background music…
Maybe it’s the racial diversity sufficient to make the Cantina scene jealous.
Maybe it’s the emperor with the hacking cough and the political intrigue in the senate.
Maybe it’s the whole “rescue the princess from the star destroyer” scene?
Or maybe I’m just looking for excuses now? But I’m only 25-30 hours into the game so far… The big question is, can they keep it up?
There is one more thing.. In the cutscene where emperor first shown, if you look the senate building (or palace, I don’t really remember) from top it looks like a star destroyer
