Yep, I agree, Squidget.
Plus, the magic system: The Force is, by itself, much simpler than DnD magic, so it fits real good into action-based combat, like in Academy. Action gives you the feel of the Force, more presense.. you know.
I liked it much better than in KOTOR.
But of course, if there was a more complexed magic like in DnD, then action-based would not have been appropriate.
