I'd love it if this map would start a trend of other modders trying their hand at more movie-accurate maps. I would myself but I fear I don't possess the modeling prowess it would require in most cases.
Shhht...

Maps like this are difficult simply because it requires not only a lot of modeling work, but because it also requires a lot of looking at and sorting through source material. There are really only about three maps I know of that I would consider "movie-accurate," or at least close to it:
RepSharpshooter's
Palpatine's Office
Rends's
Mos Eisley Spaceport
Koolaid7g's
Naboo: Theed Hangar

i love movie near maps too. but there are really less and every time i try to make a plan of such a map it's so
big that it's too big for a single map

Cool trailer, Mav! As always... I don't think its possible for you to create a fail map.

Looks great! I was a bit worried when you wrote that there wouldn't be a conquest mode, as I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim a map was too
small for conquest. The dueling mode looks to be a really great addition too! It reminds me of Lego Star Wars 2's Throne Room which has a very similar layout and was fun to play.

Actually the map is quite small, I believe it's slightly smaller than the center area of Coruscant: Jedi Temple, but it's a lot of fun to play in any game mode.

I don't think that's possible on this engine.
Then again, you don't see me making amazing maps such as this for SWBFII, I am not exactly an expert on this matter; there might be a workaround, I guess I can think of one.

Its not only possible but I have done stuff like that. I experimented AlOT on my Ryloth: Nabat map, in which nearly everything was destrucable.
There are a couple ways to do it, the best, and hardest way would be to create a dummy walkway, in the same place as the real one, completely transparent, then when its destroyed an animation takes the real walkway for a trip

That seems unnecessarily hard. What's the point of the invisible walkway? Why not simply script alternate AI paths to take over when the visible (and only) walkway is destroyed?
That said, I really don't think this map would need a destroyable walkway, imo.

Uhhh Fiodis you quoted the wrong person...
But I agree with you, having a destroyable walkway would be cool but not really a major addition.

It's also in the current version, but having the newer version in the map would be great.

The point is, use the invisible walkway to trigger an animation, it would look the most relistic, rather than just blowing up a visible walkway, and having bits fly everywhere.
Do i think this map needs them, noooooooooooooooooooo just saying it could be done.
