Star Wars - Episode IV - Trailer (original 1977)

In the Old Republic setting, Jedi don't win automatically just by existing. Lightsabers and Jedi are common in this setting, and normal people have a host of potential ways to defend against them.

Interacting with NPCs comes with the typical BioWare conversation tree, influencing NPCs to help, hinder, befriend, or antagonize your character. Those choices, which are one-time and one-way, can change the course of an event. The aforementioned buttons came from the specific ethical choice that BioWare displayed at the show; the player, in the role of a Sith, was confronted with the captain of an Imperial ship. When given the order to attack a heavily-armed Republic frigate, the captain refused, on the basis that he wasn't up for a suicide mission. You could opt to either punish him for his insubordination, which of course means cutting him into seared bits, or let him live but reprimand him.

The crowd I was with chose to kill the captain, which resulted in a nearby lieutenant receiving a sudden field promotion. She carried out the previously-unobeyed order, which meant the player had to go defend the ship against a Republic boarding party. The opposite choice, letting the captain live, still led to a confrontation with the Republic, but in a different setting, against different enemies.
