lukeiamyourdad Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 This is from the lastest Star wars Homing beacon(official Star Wars newsletter): The martial refrains of the Imperial March, the din of blaster fire and roar of explosions filled the chilly San Francisco air as locales such as Rhen Var, Endor, Yavin 4, Hoth and Kamino were opened up for eager combatants to sample. The absolute freedom for soldiers to explore anywhere, and jump into and out of turret emplacements and vehicles was a big hit. These fully textured and detailed vehicles are not just cover or scenery - they are workable battlefield assets, fully controllable armor and air support experienced from a first person perspective. Rhen Var seems to be a planet appearing during the Clone Wars. This is the only thing I could find related to it and Battlefront: http://www.starwars.com/clonewars/explore/timeline/7.html There's also more info on it here: http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/ulicqeldroma/index.html Though you have to read a bit there.

lonepadawan Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 In one preview they mentioned an "EU section" an ice planet with ruins... is this it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Strike Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Rhen Var's got my vote. In the clone wars game, Rhen Var was a Hoth type planet, covered in ice, as well as the ruins your looking for. So, Rhen Var is most likley it. :jawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SITH_ShadowCat Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 So by the looks of it this is going to be a Clone Wars Era map that equals to that of the Classic Era Hoth map. I also remember this planet being in the Clone Wars game which was covered in ice and had jedi ruins. Intresting to see what the map may have to offer interms of gameplay and storyline.

Alegis Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Was it truly necessary to make a new topic about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke'sMaster Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 where would you want him to post it. (sorry if I sound mean) but where else would he be able to say this without seeming like a spammer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sounds Risky Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 He didn't need to post a new topic in the first place since there's already one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I hope they don't use it. Lucasfilm needs to be original and make new names up for the new planets in episode III except for Kashyyyk. Tired of them using expanded universe ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that they shouldn't be using all the EU stuff that only the hard-core Star Wars fanatics would know about. But... then again, it isn't too bad a problem, I mean, the more maps the better!

joesdomain Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I would rather Lucasarts being original and get there names of the new planets from Lucas and episode III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
