To conduct our primary research (the survey), I will ask the following questions to our lucky victi- er, volunteers.

1)After playing Battlefront, did you feel that the game could have been better?
2)Did you feel that the game accurately depicted the Star Wars Story (did the events in the game correspond with the events in the movies?)
3)Did the physics in the game seem realistic? (e.g. jump hight, falling from high places and not dying, etc.)
4)Did you feel the vehicles in the game performed the same as they did in the movies?
5)How does this game compare to other shooter games you have played?

How I Conducted My Seconday Research

I read Articles written by Star Wars Experts from the following sources:
Star Wars Battlefront:

Clone Wars:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars

Galactic Rebellion:

Clone Trooper:

Vehicles:

Secondary Research

Some inconsistencies, according to www.wookieepedia.com, include:
In the Galactic Civil War campaign, Darth Vader is present during the siege of Mos Eisley, but in the movie he was on the Death Star while that was happening. And also, as stated in Star Wars novels, Vader would never return to Tatooine for (obvious) emotional reasons.

In the Clone Wars campaign ARC troopers are playable on Geonosis, and Jet Troopers are the new units (instead of ARC troopers) in The Battle of Kamino.

The Trade Federation wins the Battle of Naboo, whereas in The Phantom Menace they lost (although the Trade Federation had the upper hand, until the Droid Control Ship was destroyed).

For an odd reason the sky on Tatooine:Dune Sea is Yellow on the console version of the game but corrected blue on the PC version.

Luke Skywalker flies in a Rebel Snowspeeder in the movie but battles on the ground at the Battle of Hoth in the game.

On the Battle of Hoth in campaign mode, the rebels win instead of the empire.

My Questions

1.)Do the trailers show aspects of the game that were cut from the final production?
2.)How does it differ from actual physics?
3.)Would war be fought that way?

Research Topic

I will be researching the reality of Star Wars Battlefront I- both to the Star Wars plot, and to reality.
