[Master Belisarius]

Well, I have Star War Rebellion... and although I respect the opinions of others, I believe that was only a game for SW fanatics, because was a mediocre game.

Yea, the 3d battles were great for the time (now for example, Homeworld is much better), but the space battles were near of the 1% of the time used to play the game!
About the ground battles, are not very different of the SE4 ground battles.

I liked the RP elements in SW Rebellion, and I have played a lot this game (although their VERY WEAK AI), but, I enjoyed it because I love the SW series.
Finally, in my view, SW Rebellion have little things in common with the SE series.
