Star Wars: The Old Republic (Gameplay #22) - The Green Hill Zone

So they actually let the first planet from the original star wars movies that was destroyed an area in the game? Never thought that would happen in a Star Wars game.

@Chinothebad I can't see anything remarkable about it; Bioware's just mining the established lore for stuff that Star Wars fans might conceivably care about and then putting that in the game. Same thing with Tatooine and Hoth, and I guess also Coruscant for the young viewers who grew up watching Episodes I-III. Alderaan has already been featured in one of the prequel movies (Revenge of the Sith), if Wikipedia is to be believed.

@Demiath Considering that they are mining the lore to cater to fans of the series, I can agree with that, other than that there is nothing remarkable about, though I do have one question, are you a fan of Star Wars?

@Chinothebad Fan or not, becoming somewhat well-versed in Star Wars lore is almost inevitable for any (male) geek born after 1970. Personally I don't watch the movies very often, though, and definitely don't care about the "extended universe" stuff. Ultimately I think the classic game adaptations - everything from Super Star Wars to Tie Figher, Dark Forces, KOTOR and Jedi Knight - are more important to me than the actual movie series.
