As far as the "Star Wars ripoff" comments - If you believe that then you must believe that Austin Powers and No One Lives Forever/Cate Archer are "ripping off" James Bond, no?

Actually, No One Lives Forever was made to make fun of the James Bond movies and the general game formula that Bond games play as. As for Austin Powers, it relies more heavily on making fun of the psychadelic '70s spy shows, but does draw some of it's humor at poking fun at James Bond.
But that's off-topic, really...The point is that much of the community is unhappy with the way Jazz looks. But the truth is that, in the end of it all, while players may think it's more important now, what will really matter to the vast majoraty of Jazzers is that the new GBA game is good, not how it looks. The company that is doing it does not have a fantastic history with conversions, but could surprise it. If it's good, most will take it. If it isn't, then you won't even get the core audience, and it won't sell well at all, which no one wants.
For a low-advertised game to sell well, it has to be good. It would benefit both the liscenes and fans if this Jazz game was a well-done work.
