Someone complained this is the first FF game to not have Biggs and Wedge and that got me thinking... That mission to save Ashe on the Leviatan made me feel like Luke (Vaan) and Han (Baltier) saving Lea (Ashe), with a nicer looking alien (Fran pwns Chewie!) and a hot guy to boot (Basch). Too bad we didn't go through a trash compactor scene. That would have been so awesomely SW like!!!

Then the Evil Empire theme and the father / Son / siblings themes made me think that the whole game has some Star Wars overtones.

Bhujerba - Lando's floating mining city ? With a figurehead the empire tolerates (Ondorre) just like Lando.

Eastersand / Westersand - Not exactly Tatooine but desert nonetheless

Leviathan - Death Star obviously. Even the Imperial Soldiers uniform resembles the SW troopers.

Judges - Darth Vader obviously.

Don't the Slaven fiends look like those 2 legged robots from SW II ? Nabudis sounds like Naboo too

Am I seeing things ?
