Grave news folks- the vile efforts of Darth Scroogius have hampered this year's attempts at something decent for a Christmas thread. By his efforts, the next episode on the Malphas saga is not yet done, I do not have enough information on the next campaign episodes to make a decent trailer, and I've already given as much preview stuff about them as I reasonably can!
Yet still, the Light Side shall remain triumphant in the end! Bits of good news can be glimpsed by those skilled enough in the Force to see them. The next episodes DO exist and we should be able to play straight into them without a break- the current episodes are nearing their final acts. There's an interlude for the Jedi, and an extended epilogue for the Dark Siders (probably their biggest battle yet) which will run simultaneously before both sides get back about their galactic business. The Light Side story will end with the Dark Siders gnashing their teeth at not knowing what the Light Siders now know. Not too long after the epilogue will end with the situations reversed and the Light Siders will want to kill me.
As for General of the Republic- part 3 of the Malphas saga- work has been going on furiously on it of late- at the expense of any RPing, incidentally!- but it is a complex job. I have tested the battle strategy system in it (full on wars this time), but not the story. It will come, and before too long with any luck! Part 3 puts you back in the shoes of the Jedi. Next year, part 4 sees a return to the Sith, and the saga will finish with a part 5... in which you must choose which perspective to play from.
Meanwhile, the next episodes of the main campaign are not the final episodes, nor are they the penultimate episodes... and in fact, the final storyline is likely to be two episodes long, so they are not even the ones before the penultimate episodes. So I can predict that we can happily play on until 2020 or thereabouts... well, with any luck we can keep the gaming regular.
I shall return now to my struggle against Scroogius... and see if I can find some presents for you guys between now and New Year!
Merry Sithmas, all...

I would not mind playing the games for next 10 years! If I am still playing it at the age of 26 (and I have a lot of other things to do), I am not likely to good too old for games soon.
And I really want to raise Gallador`s Force Rating, and I need several episodes worth of XP for this.
I quess the extended battle will be against the Bureau on Epireus?

Nah, it's way better than that. The Epilogue is actually optional, but the chances of you not doing it are slim.
The Epilogue is when you choose if you want revenge on Emperor Rivas. Because if you do, you can muscle up everything you've got and take a shot at it...

Oh rad! Well I'm certainly not going anywhere. I love this game :P
I didn't realize we were near the final act though, I thought we just hit half way. Then again my first proper game in this campaign was Battlefield and that went on the longest.

Biggest battle ever, as in we have minions of our side? I like it more and more.
