    It’s great that they cast actual actors for these characters, capturing their look, voices and performances. This is the way it should be done now with other games.

        It does. This is actually typical these days. Heck, even a Kickstarter-funded game like Star Citizen has a mo-cap cast (including Star Wars alumni Mark Hamill and Andy Serkis).

    I’m so happy to see that the characters are actual characters, with their own backstories, personalities, and motivations. I feel like this is the first “real” Star Wars game we’re getting since The Force Unleashed II.

    Good gravy though, those presenters were awful. This obsession with putting Youtubers and social media amateur ‘stars’ in everything is beginning to get on my nerves. I want slick presentations that show new products off best, not bad acting by halfwits who are more obsessed with themselves than the products they’re showing.
