Star Wars Galaxies Expands
First screens from new Ep III add-on that takes you to the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk. Just try and pretend you're not excited.
In just two short months, Star Wars fans across the world will queuing outside cinemas eager to witness the final instalment in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Two weeks before that, though, the citizens of massively multiplayer online game Star Wars Galaxies will be able to check out the new worlds of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith for themselves in the next update to the popular game.
Star Wars Galaxies: Episode III Rage of the Wookiees takes you to the Wookiee home planet of Kashyyyk, but what you do there is up to you. You can choose to befriend and help the Wookiees or join the Trandoshans hell-bent on enslaving the lanky hirsute race of creatures.
The expansion pack introduces over 100 new story quests and also brings new mining aspects to the game. The latter allow you and up to 19 other people to take to the heavens in a modified spaceship to mine for ore in the asteroids that populate the interplanetary regions.
Star Wars Galaxies: Episode III Rage Of The Wookiees will be available for pre-order in late April and for download from 5 May.
