I`m still sick at home, dreaming of playing SW:Battlefront 3, and those bastards over Kotaku have posted 2 images of a plot twist, involving Obi Wan as a sith.
My pijama`s just can`t take that amount of awesome in 2 pictures:
I also came across some bad news, quoting spong.com:
"Speaking to SPOnG, an ex-employee of Free Radical has confirmed that the leaked Star Wars: Battlefront III footage is genuine, but that crucial technology developed for the game is unlikely to make it into the final code.
The former employee, who wishes to be known only as Thomas Dudenaughty, told SPOnG, "It's genuine. However, it's my understanding that the game's been passed to a new developer, but the tech that allowed you to fly from the ground, to air, to orbit, to space dies with Free Radical's involvement. The new developer will be making it a cutscene every time you want to transition from ground to space."
We were told that the game mechanic would have offered "complete freedom"."
I agree with Gibbo. Its a very interesting concept, but im pretty sure that Obi-Wan woul never fall to the dark side. On that note, Battlefront does look freaking sweet.
I think it might be cool for a "what if" kinda deal, but to try to work it out to make any sense or put a real story to it would just ruin the idea completely.
Let's say you get stuck on the Sith team. You're really bummed because you wanted to play as, say, Mace Windu. Well, now you have that option. It could have been that they wanted everyone to play with whoever they wanted, regardless of the team they get stuck on. It's a very interesting decision and a smart move. That is, if I'm right.
Yeah, I actually liked seeing these designs, but then again, I'm a sucker for alternate takes on already established items.
But yeah...I agree with cough. You'd think Obi-Wan would have kept himself a bit more clean...this is like he went and stayed a hermit while murdering random passer-bys on Tatooine.

I don't know, I don't think that Obi Wan would ever go the dark side. It's an interesting concept none the less.

Just because you're a Sith Lord doesn't mean you have to be a fashion nightmare. Get a new cloak, son, that shit is ragged.

I like the Kotaku commenter that said "How long before they do this with every character and we get a Sith Yoda?"
Sad, but probably true.
And that would still be pretty fucking badass.
I was just glancing at this article on the front page when it hit me: Dark Obi-Wan and Rob Zombie are the same person!
Oh god all the bitching "Dark Obiwan" will create. Looks awesome, though.
The real point here is that Free Radical kept the code for complete freedom, so no more ship entering and docking in outter space.
Fuck this world.
I wouldn't say they kept the code necessarily. Seems that whoever is picking it up just doesn't want to use it.
That sucks either way.
@ Teta
Seriously? Well that would kind of seal the deal for me not getting it.
Holy crap, that land-to-space shit was the only thing that really floored me when I watched that footage. Who wouldn't want to keep that?
The idea behind this may have been like so:

I want my penis to join the dark side.
Boy, he's really, really gone to the dark side. I mean, shit!. You think that obi wan would present himself a little better.

UH OH, SHIT JUST HIT THE FAN
