Rather than building it the the traditional way of course using tons of shipped objects to form the environment, which would quickly spell doom for this project.

We had considered doing that, but it came up with one major problem (at least the only one I can think of off the top of my head ). I don't know how much you model, but as Battlefront's Polygon limit is really terribly low (a building can have I think... 3000 Polygons, comparing this to say, Master Chief, whose helmet alone has more than that). So, having entire Cities made out of a single model, while a good idea, is really not very plausible, as everything would have to be incredibly low detailed.

Off-Topic: Anyone else think that the message that tells you that there's a new post is horribly annoying. I guess it can keep us from putting a foot in our proverbial mouths, sometimes... but is it really necessary?

Reading through this, I can hardly believe you would be able to fit all those things into one map environment. Having the Jedi Temple alone would be near the maximum amount of objects/content for one map, especially with all the special scripting, which also adds to the listpool. But the idea also having a bigger cantina, a serious battle arena, and outskirts as well is almost outrageous, unless you arn't going to make it that detailed.
