Für einen Post etwas viel...

Can u give us the full cast list of the voice actors please?

You can get the complete list when the game comes out. In our opinion, the voice acting is simply fantastic.

As a point of interest Temeura Morrison for Boba Fett. The son of the actor who played General Veers is General Veers in the game.

In Skirmish battles, specifically skirmish space battles, how will the population cap work? In space how do you increase the limit?

In space, it is present. Units above the cap are reserves that you can pull in as losses are taken.

One of Ptro employees said something about upgrading shield generators to particle shields. What is the difference?

The regular shield just stops energy weapons. The upgrade stops all other projectiles as well.

will the collectors edition be reeased in United Kingdom or is for America only

The Collector's Edition will also be available in Germany and the U.S.

Help me understand the Tech Tree. Do you start out with Headhunters (Z-95s), then upgrade to X-wings like in, say, Galactic Battlegrounds, or are the Z-95s and the X-wings two different types of starfighters?

They're different types of ships, some serve as an upgraded roll but they don't necessarily all upgrade. They can both fly at the same time. Z-95s are cheaper, so you might want to keep them tactically. They're good for scouting or taking out transports.

Will we be able to group our units (ex. ships, tanks ect.) with hot keys before battles? And if not, after grouping, will they stay grouped for the next battle?

Grouping is possible and encouraged. Because every battle has different units, keeping the groupings wasn't a good idea.

WIll the cinamatic camera be tweeked in the real game? it did a good job until it flew off and followed a womp-rat while my at-at was kicking butt and when it does get some good action it flys off again, the only way it is good is when I highlight a unit and hit "c" twice so that I can control the camera, will it be fixed?(otherwise good job!)

If you press and hold the cinematic hot key, the camera will hold on the selected unit, it won't switch away. If you press and release it switches immediately to another angle. So this is a great way to find a view you like and stick with it.

Can you create multiple death stars at once, or recreate death stars after one has been destroyed?

If the starbase building a Death Star is destroyed, then it's gone and you can start building again.

Once it's built and Luke and the pesky red squadron destroys it... then it's game over! Win or lose.

Just as a point of interest, What do feel to be the most interesting strategic element you added to the game (ie Raiding a plant to disable a hypervelocity gun/ ion cannon before attacking with a space fleet.)?

That each planet contributes something unique to the galaxy, depending on where you attack making the game come out differently.

Also, the fact that galactic mode runs in real-time rather than turn based is a really big point in our opinion.

Can you go into more depth of how the full verison of EaW has chnaged since the demo?

We finished the game in early December. Since then we've been fixing bugs, balancing and polishing.

What specific abilities does Mara Jade have. Will she be able to steal credits like Han and Chewie? Or do more dastardly deeds like assasinations and espionage?

She can set bombs and force corrupt infantry, using her charms and hot Dark Jedi chick mind control.

All the hero characters have unique abilities true to their established characters.

In the demo, if you brought more units into a space battle your forces were selected for you. Will it be possible to select your units before entering a battle, or will your forces always be selected for you?

You can control what's in the battle by selectively splitting your fleet into an initial invasion fleet and a follow-up second fleet.

Being the dev team had played this game a lot already would you mind sharing your most favorite unit combos? Land or space.

- Obi-Wan Kenobi and the droid, since you can force-protect the droids.
- Emperor Palpatine and the rancor.

Does kyle katarn stay or mercenay or does he get jedi powers?(like he does in the jedi knight series)
And are you saying that if the empire has all but one planet left and they build the death star just to completly own the rebels, and the rebels miraculously destroy it, the empire automatically loses?! no matter what?

Kyle is a mercenary in EAW.

Destroying the Death Star is a tactical situation. You'll have to protect Red Squadron and see the battle to completion. If you lose the Death Star, you lose the game. Of course, you're not required to build one.

We're thrilled by the excitement and can't wait for the game to come out and to hear what you think.

Thanks for your questions and keep posting in the forums. This makes all of the long hours really worth it. The dev team just LIVES off the positive feedback.
