I have a special box too, i don't like keeping all my games at college so I didn't bring it back with me. I borrowed my firends dvd to get past the part with the broken t3. Now I have the same problem later in the game. I'm helping the ithoans (*sp) as a protocol droid and when it's supposed to load back to my 3 person party it loads back to JUST my main character. And the rest of my party is supposed to be with me but they are not. I guess I can just wait until next weekend when I go home and get my game. But that is a WEEK!?! I've also noticed that during battles the animation is really choppy. So i'm assuming they are both related and running it from the hard drive jsut isn't a good idea.
