How close will the demo be to the final product? Will all the sound effects we heard in the demo goin to be in the real game? Will the graphics be polished? What will they keep in the demo and what will they take out?
I would say that it won't be that close at all. I think that they need to save alot of things, an thats what they are doing. If you didn't like the demo, the game will be so much more, don't worry.
The demo is most likely using code from beta version 1.7, which is the 8th version of the game. I'm not really sure how close that is to the gold copy, but I'm better there will be at least four or five more betas.
I couldn't find anything to point out in the demo, except from the fact that the developers, instead of implementing advanced fighters alredy known like the E-Wing fighter into the game, created some weird looking X-Wings and Y-Wings.. I'm not sure what would replace the Y-wing, tough, maybe the the B-Wing (maybe not, as they're not nearly the same unit, to say it that way.. :))?

like chris said, this may not be the final product due out in over a month. b-wings are not in the game, a-wings are but not in this demo.
One month is not a lot of time as far as development is concerned. I think the graphics and sounds are for the most part final. There will probably be minor fixes and stuff, but I'll bet at this point it's what you see is what you're gonna get.
I think the demo was from an early design stage, so don't worry the real game won't look like this.
