LucasArts announces plans for Star Wars Galaxies: The Total Experience, a bundle of the Star Wars MMORPG, the Jump to Lightspeed expansion, and the upcoming Rage of the Wookiees expansion, due in stores on May 26. Included is word on some exclusive content in that package and in the Rage of the Wookiees download edition:

Star Wars fans wondering what might be next for them after seeing Episode III: Revenge of the Sith now have the answer. Star Wars Galaxies: The Total Experience will offer the award-winning original ground game An Empire Divided™, the Jump to Lightspeed™ expansion that brought players into space in their own Millennium Falcon and the all new Episode III Rage of the Wookiees expansion offering exclusive content directly from the final Star Wars movie all in one box.

Players new to the Star Wars Galaxies experience will jump right in to exploring familiar places like Luke Skywalker’s Tattooine, the Ewok village of Endor and the Wookiee home planet of Kashyyyk. In a matter of minutes, The Total Experience will have players battling across space with their friends, dodging debris from the remnants of the Death Star. And with the new adventures in Rage of the Wookiees, players will discover the true relics of Episode II’s Clone Wars as well as the future of Episode III’s villain, General Grievous.

Exclusive to players with the Star Wars Galaxies: The Total Experience box is the BARC Speeder. The land vehicle of choice for the specialized Biker Advanced Recon Commandos during the Clone Wars, this speeder will take players to the edges of the 11 Star Wars planets Galaxies has to offer on May 26th!

Current players can download the new planet of Kashyyyk with over 100 new adventures starting May 5th. The digital download of Episode III Rage of the Wookiees includes the Varactyl, Obi Wan’s gorgeous and sure-footed mount, exclusively.

sorry for making a negative post here but this expansion should be called "Star Wars Galaxies:The last stab at your wallet". Being an avid player for almost two years, this game has gone to hell in a handbasket and there is no saving it.

I dont think this will be the "last stab at your wallet". If you look at other MMOGs they always have multiple expansion packs, FFXI is on #2(technicaly only one in the USA, and i think that the Europe version comes bundled with all the expansions), EQ has more then i want to know, DAOC has 3 that you have to pay for, 5 if you include ones they offer for free, Planetside has 1 i believe.

This will probably be just the begining of expansion packs for SWG.

all those games you mentioned aren't SWG. SWG has been dying for a while now and SOE are trying to get what they can while they can. They put the "combat upgrade" into testing and its not the game SWG players paid for, theyre turning it into WoW, not that its a bad thing but why wouldn't i just play WoW? its a much better game. Its been messed up for a while with all the exploits and game breaking bugs and complete and utter lack of content, their idea of content is a mob that can constantly knockdown and dizzy you and take as long as 1 hour to kill.
