Slashdot has the story: an SWG emulator has reached the status of vague feasibility. I admit, the movie is quite cool. There are a couple of interesting spins on the story:

The first thing to note is of course the to dance around the fact that there is apparently a market for an SWG emulator where previously there was not. I will decline to comment beyond that.

The second thing that comes to mind is to wonder what the team’s plans for data storage is. I know enough about SWG’s infrastructure to know that pre-NGE made Oracle databases cry like a little girl.

The third thing is that I can’t imagine this not getting shut down by LucasArts and Sony at record speed. To quote one person in the Slashdot thread:

“Execute Order 66. Wipe them out. All of them.”
