when TOR launched, the devs added some jokes based on Yoda and lightsabers:

if we can get actual dev time spent on something as trivial as a joke for a game launch, how about some dev time being spent to honor one of the greatest scifi heroes of all time?
dev time spent for star wars joke but no dev time spent for carrier fisher?
thanks to all!
may the force be with us!!!

Also, please, stop putting random characters in your titles, they don't add anything to the subject.
/sarcasm <-- because some people won't get it
This sums up nicely why it would be a terrible idea.
Just because it shines, doesn't mean it's a lightsaber. We can pretend that it's something unique to Star Wars, but it isn't. It's just a fluorescent tube, thousands if not millions of buildings around the world are lighted with those things.
And because there's some little green man somewhere, doesn't mean that Yoda is in the game. He doesn't even have white hair and last time I checked the species he shares most characteristics with is called a Ferengi.
Then it's still not a lightsaber. Or Yoda.
And if it's a joke, you should treat it as such. Memorials aren't for fun. Parties to celebrate someone's life can be, memorials are something different, certainly when you look at the style of the memorial for Trek veterans in the game.
@jodarkrider
In defense of bab 5 andreas katsulas was both G'kar in bab 5 and Tomalak in TNG
And i do think it can be done but a seperate memorial for iconic sci fi actors and actress' who had a strong influence on sci fi as a whole a genre.
But do it tastefully with respect to both the universe their character was in and the actor / actress aswell , not add it to the trek memorial but make a seperate one, i think one place that would be good is bajor.
We should not be divided but united not as star trek or star wars fans but sci fi fans , and appreciate those great actors and actress' who had an impact on the sci fi genre as a whole.
What Nikephorus said.
Thats a very irish way of thinking , and the way id want to be remembered when i pass , not by having my loved ones mourn my passing but celebrate the life i had , to share drinks and stories to have a good time and share laughs not tears
this business of in game memorial's is all very well but extending it to non star trek actors or celebrities is going over the top.
by all means comment in the general discussion to pay your respects for any celebrities who pass on but if they are unrelated to star trek that is as far as it should go.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
you can keep posting that same comment over and over as often as you like but it changes nothing.

The point i was trying to make was in the sci fi genre and only those actors/actress' and people who had a profound and influential impact in ALL manners of sci fi, even star trek.
