I think Episode 1 and the Christmas Special are off the hook for worst Star Wars release. This game was approved and released by LucasArts.

Worse things have happened.

It's really too bad. That had potential to be a great game, but to throw it away like that... this is undeniable proof of Lucas/film just out to make as much money as possible off Star Wars with no care for the actual story.

If you can move past the "I'm pretending to be Han Solo singing about being Han Solo while dancing random dance moves," the animation actually isn't too bad. The movements of the dancers are very fluid, and it doesn't look like they're twisting or breaking any parts of their bodies to do the moves.

We all know that xBox has good graphics and good people designing their games realistically. That's not the point. The point is, one of the most somber places in the Star Wars galaxy - the carbonite freezing chamber where Han was frozen and Luke dueled Darth Vader for the first time - was converted into a dance floor. If you want to dance in a cantina, fine. But save the carbonite chamber for a boss duel or something.

If this game were more along the lines of TFU (story, duels, etc.), I might be scrounging money to buy an xBox. After this, not so much.

you'd complain just as much if it were in a cantina, don't kid yourself.

are we all aware that this is not the only level in the game and that the game has a lot more too it than dancing right? It's a minigame, a bonus mode, you don't even have to play it if you don't want to
