Sith’s Creed is a Crossover I Can Get Behind
Pictures like this make me sad. Now I’m sitting here imagining how awesome a Star Wars themed Assassin’s Creed style game would be, where you prowl around the rooftops of Coruscant as a Sith assassin violently taking out targets with a variety of lightsabers and other assorted weaponry.
But alas, that will never be, as apparently lightsaber combat in Star Wars games must be slow and turn based like in KOTOR and TOR, or at best, fast and bloodless like in The Force Unleashed. We’ll never see an (official) R-rated Star Wars project in my lifetime I imagine.
I’m not so sure, however, about the wrist mounted mini-sabers seen here. One wrong move, and Darth Ezio loses all of his fingers.

*Ahem* ALL lightsaber combat would be bloodless. Just sayin…
Depends. You can cut an vein, burn it but not necessary “close” it, so BLOOD EVERYWHERE !!

Holy ef that would be so damn awesome it’s not even funny.
Imagine all the climbing you would need to do up the tall buildings.

That would be the most awesome thing ever, as the models Ubisoft use of AC are far superior to the tiny ones all star wars games use. With a few tweaks, that could be a massive franchise everyone could get behind. Imagine the possible secenarios:
1. Corulag during the Galactic Civil War
2. Tatooine (just in general)
3. Coruscant during the republic era (Pre films)
4. Maybe a bonus where you play as Darth Vader as he enforces the will of the empire on hapless populations (in many stories he goes himself to planets to remove unruly govenors/rebels.
5. You don’t even need to play a jedi!!! You could play as a bounty hunter (a game in itself), a stormtrooper, a rebel undercover, the list is endless.
Which is why the useless, one-dimensional Star Wars games we are lumbered with are so bad…
