It would have been very nice, and I think completely appropriate, if DROID LIFE had also included in their little promo for Verizon and this App that it truly is a spectacularly GIGANTIC STEAMING PILE OF BANTHA POODOO.

I can't believe they charged $3 for this totally craptastic app. Actually, I can't believe I trusted a Verizon app to be anything other than craptastic. Stupid me. I thought things might improve if I plunked down the three bucks. At least I earnestly hoped it would anyway because I am a rabid Star Wars fan. WRONG! Now all I can do is hope and pray that the force is with me and that Verizon will refund my three bucks because this GIGANTIC STEAMING PILE OF BANTHA POODOO had all but hamstrung my DroidX memory and processor even when I wasn't running it. I had to uninstall it, and even then it didn't uninstall all the way. I had to manually delete some files and the root folders.

I bet Verizon will be inundated with calls and demands for refunds from those of us that payed the three bucks because there is no one on planet Earth that isn't at least one rung above Downs Syndrome that could possibly be even slightly satisfied with this app.

This sounds like a rush job, did they do at least some quality control? Who did they get to do this app? Jar Jar binks?

a total ripoff will slow down your phone to almost dead stop Droid X

Just download a SNES emulator and get Super The Empire Strikes Back on your phone.

That's because it gets billed to your Verizon account, not to your Google mobile pay account. Call VZW to see if you can get a refund.

Maybe it got through QA the same way 2.2 did? More focus on the OS; less on app development, I say.

Total piece of garbage. George Lucas proves once again that he will whore out the Star Wars franchise for a quick buck.

They should have just released a Star Wars Life Day app (that ridiculous Christmas special on tv between the first & second movie). That would be less embarrassing than this app.

Your girlfriend is a Star Wars nut? Does she have a sister?

Wow, no refund when you uninstall, even within 24 hours? That's pretty shady on Verizon's part.

OK, I'm an original trilogy Star Wars fanboy so this is right up my alley, but I'm not paying $2.99 for this app…
