That's right, folks. I'm talking about the Electronic Entertainment Expo. SWGalaxies.net will be covering all mentions of Star Wars Galaxies at the fair, so keep checking back to this site for previews, reviews, and multimedia straight from the floor.

E3 2003 FAQ:
What is E3?
E3 stands for the Electronic Entertainment Exposition. It's one of the biggest North American gaming fairs, where hundreds of companies show off new titles and technoligy each year. E3 2003 took place in Los Angeles, between May 13th and May 16th.
Would I have been able to see SWG if I went?
No, Galaxies was only shown behind closed doors to selected members of the press. You might have been able to catch a short pre-recorded video of gameplay action on LucasArts' video wall, or a small demo at the nVidia booth.
