Which of you slaaaaags is getting Battlefront and has Live then?
Me thinks we should all get together on Live and play all the battles from the original trilogy at some point. Not particuarly fussed about the prequels though I would like to kick some Ja Ja Binks ass around the place.
Only 1 week till the game should be in my hands, will hopefully be filling the online gap that the crappy Burnout 3 servers left.

I'm only interested in Battlefront if Porkins is a playable character. Although he was only in A New Hope for a brief period of time, I learnt a lot about him.
For a pilot he's certainly not the most physically fit person and imagine that he'd struggle in high G combat. He probably forced them to let him fly, by telling them he'd not do any more repair work on the space craft, or defence systems. Of course he then made sure that his X-wing would have a slightly higher top speed than the others. In fact he'd go out of his way to make sure that the other "wings" were operating at less than maximum capability.
During the assualt on the Death Star it is clear that some of the Rebel craft are unable to dogfight effectively. Although never explained in the film, you just know that Porkins had taken important bits of their craft and put them into his own, in order to make his seat more comfortable.
When his X-wing got hit and he was ordered to pull up, he refused claiming that he could handle it. This very moment confirmed the man's sheer stupidity and refusal to believe that he is the worst pilot ever to fight on behalf of the Rebel Alliance. We also know that on more than one occasion he sexually abused his R2 unit.
However, when he crashes someone off camera is heard to say "scratch Porkins", but what he really said was "Pork Scratchings!" It turns out that the entire rear section of Porkin's craft was filled with pork scratchings, fed to him on demand by his flight computer. His rear deflector shields had been removed to fit his snacks in. When he was shot, his craft was doomed and his snacks errupted from the impact of the crash, spewing their lard-like volcanic fury into the hospital craft (off screen) killing the entire crew and destroying a new virus that had been developed to eradicate the Gungans.

Oooh, I liked this. Played a really short PS2 demo, so Xbox will be better :D
But no Live!!! Snuggly (my source of Live) goes away to Uni on Saturday, and I doubt my other mates with broadband will be willing to buy and sit and watch me play games.
Fucknuts.
