This too!! The one thing I loved most about this game was the background music. Especially the one you referenced.

My favorite moments where closer to when the game first launched.  Basically before many of the bugs started to show and before player Jedi.  That said, it would be running with a major Imp war party of about 30-40 people , running from Bestine to Anchorhead to kill Rebel Scum.  It was so fun to see several At-St's (before they were nerfed) just totally demolish all of the Rebs in the streets of their major home area of Tatooine.

Least favorite moment was becoming one of the server's first commandos to only find out the devs neglected to spawn the nodes that were needed for crafters to make commando weapons.  Then finally getting my hands on a brand new heavy acid launcher (commando weapon) to have it only do 1 point of damage due to a bug.

The 1st few months me and a FAT wookie named Puff, would attack Bestine cantina every Friday at midnight thru the back door!!! Run in kill some overt dancers (some were guys<shudder>) and run like all heck back to Anchorhead!!!!

Puff would scream "dont look back" when i looked i saw 100 imperials chasing us with AT's in tow.... :P

Dying to baby glutton ;-)

All I can think of is some of the player city pvp we had, that was cool.

When I got lost in the desert and wandered around until I found a settlement. Made me feel like I was playing in an actual world rather than a stupid ThemePark where everyplace is carefully marked out.

My BE finally perfecting the recipe for a 12k+ non-CH pet. A few people knew how to get the 11ks but I think I'm the only one who ever got the 12s. At least no one in the BE form had seen one.

My first successful jedi bounty as a pre-cu BH.

 

This. When I first started doing player bounties I didn't know that the higher paying marks were full temp jedis. I remember finding my mark from 60m out, getting in prone position, firing the shot, missing, and then being dead in five seconds. Took me a long time to figure out the right armour and weapons to use and plenty of practice. I eventuallly got to where I could take on mid level jedi, but never could take on a full temp on my own. I don't miss the marks that would plop down a house or any of their other dirty tricks, but I do miss the hunt. 

The PvP that went on between Anchorhead and Bestine was always a ton of fun.   Sometimes you'd have a full on zerg, other times a couple of snipers (Riflemen) would make things interesting.    

 

You simply never knew what to expect but there was always something going on. 

My faveorite swg game moment was when I did my first bounty hunt! Was so awesome sending off that droid and then following the signals and all! I will never forget finally finding the bounty in town unsuspecting! layed a few traps, got within firing distance and started blasting away, as soon as he turned and started coming at me i began to back up while firing and spaming skills like cripple and what not, then turned around and led him to my first trap around the corner of a building, then the next trap, and finally the last trap! OMG wa the most exciting moment I ever had in a video game period!!!! I absolutely cherish that moment!

 

BH FTW!!!

I was a Wookie Master Weaponsmith and i will never forget find my first doonium iron deposit. I was one of the first ever to craft the Bowcaster. Also finding Gallinorian Rainbow Gems for crafting T21's with Krayt tissue's was awesome. I remember building guild halls on multiple planets and becoming the Mayor of the city.

Crafting a set of 100% composite boots using a set of +42 Krayt scale enhancers (and this was early in the game before all the good resources finally rolled around and they put the stat cap at 90%). They sat as a crafting trophy in my shop, until the CU showed up and ruined every single piece of armor in the game.

My favorite moment was Friday night krayt dragon hunts. My guild members would all group up and try to get good pearls for our Jedi.

This thread topic comes up every once in awhile and I think it's so cool there are other people still thinking about this game.  I had sooo many favorite moments, but here is another I don't think I mentioned before.

 

Me and several guildies were running through the Tattooine desert to get somewhere.  I was a creature handler and had my dog, 'Lucky' out.  Lucky had the annoying propensity to suddenly tear off and attack stuff unbidden.  He had all the instincts of a pit bull but the stature of a chihuahua.

 

Anyway, we were running through the desert and suddenly Lucky tears away from our group and attacks...a Krayt dragon.  One of my buddy stops short and says, "What's your dog doing?"  Various curses pop up in the chat bubbles as we watch in disbelief.

 

I managed to type, "That's not my dog," as the Krayt descended upon us and all hell broke loose.

 

I can't remember if we survived or not. I just remember that feeling as I saw him run off, like 'What the hell?', and then 'Oooooh shit.  LUCKY!!!'

I had a Slice Hound named 'spuds'. The /say command I used for him to attack was "Bring home the bacon"

Honestly, there should be a book written about SWG and the all awesome things that players have done or experienced. It would be worth reading like a dusty and worn book dug up after an MMOcalypse.

When I started in late-2003 (right after the beta, I wasn't a part of beta and was a very Sad Panda) I didn't understand how the NPCs worked..

So on my first day I was standing  there in Theed, and I kept going up to the NPC stormtroopers in front of the spaceport and kept saying "Hello!" and "Hi how are you?" and trying to talk to them, over and over and over.

Pretty embarassing....
