Non-multiplayer games can be fun, but unless they have dramatic plot like Final Fantasy 7, these games aren't what made gaming mainstream.

I would like nothing more than to challenge my character build in lightsaber duels with other people.
i agree. when you say beating on your friends, though, do you mean in the game or kicking their ass when they beat you ("you" in general terms)? but yeah, testing your own build against someone else would be ownage in a bottle (or a disk) so long as the game is unhackable (doubtful...). only real problem with one person fighting another is this: what if you're a Jedi Sentinel/Jedi Watchman/Sith Assassin? the only 2 (maybe 3) skills that might help you in combat are stealth, treat injury, and awareness(that's the maybe). maybe repair if you can play as other members of the crew and you choose to play as a droid. another problem would arise with that too, though... you can't exactly have 20+ HK-47s, T3-M4s, Exiles, Revans, and other forced-on-you people in the same arena and have the fight make sense.

as to your comment about FF7: i've never played it, but i will always think FF10 is better. ok, my off-topic and off-game part of the discussion is over
