So I actually fired up the old processor and reloaded Star Wars Battlefront for this source,
making it my second time through this game. Back in August of 2010 I played Battlefront thinking it was Galactic Battlegrounds, and only
realized my mistake about 2 hours in to the game. The Battle of the Grassy Plains, The
Rebellion of Theed, and Aggressive Negotiations on Kashyyyk were fun missions
where you get to play a battle droid and a super battle droid. Going through these missions a second time
affirmed for me the fun of this game.
What I was reminded of when I played again was that the
battle droids in the first two missions were way more agile than the battle
droids from the movies. If the battle
droids from the movies could move as fluidly and shoot as accurately as the
battle droids from the video game could, the Gungans, and indeed all of the enemies
of the Trade Federation, would be in deep trouble.
Besides being a bit of FPS fun, there really isn’t much to
this game. You can find a YouTube
walkthrough here, but it only takes less than an hour to get through the
content of these first missions.
I think when I edit and reorganize this chronology project
when it’s done I’ll place this source closer to the Invasion of Theed Adventuregame from WOTC. It’s more in line with
that collection of narratives, detailing the un-sung heroes of the Naboo
resistance movement who tried to stop the invasion of their home planet.
For my next post I’m going to take a look at Star Wars Episode 1: The Gungan Frontier,
but before I sign off I just want you other chronologists who have been
following my progress to look over the remaining sources I want to examine before
I begin to exit my way out of 32 BBY.
Regarding our conversation Plaristes, this source, I should follow this

Until then my friends, may the Force be with you.
I would cover Darth Plagueis as soon as you're done with the rest of the TPM material, so maybe even before doing the Gungan Frontier. Otherwise, that looks good. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for getting through TPM material! The years 31-23 BBY will go very fast and then it's Clone Wars and Clone Wars and Clone Wars (AOTC doesn't have as many tie-ins as TPM).
ReplyDeleteAnd as Plaristes said Darth Plagueis can be read now.
Like a tasty piece of dessert I'm going to leave Darth Plaguies from when I've completed Nomad. I don’t want to get complacent.
