1) We have a PS2 and a Wii version, which means there physics can be handled by those two consoles just fine. So, if they were concerned about a PC not handling the physics, then why they didn't make a PC port with the Wii or PS2 physics?
2) Okay, let's say they didn't want to do that because they didn't want to give PC users a "crippled" game. Very well then, don't. Just optimize the game engine properly for PC. After all, the engine uses third-party technology: Havok (works on PCs), Euphoria (works on PCs) and DMM (guess what, works on PCs too), so optimizing the whole thing for the PC won't be impossible.
3) Okay, let's say that after the optimization the game's still unplayable on anything lower than a high-end PC. What the heck, just release the game anyway with a high system requirement. Lots of games have done that in the past (Deus Ex, Deus Ex 2, Doom 3, Crysis, etc.) and nobody complains. After all, we PC users update our computers roughly once a year or so, most of the time to be able to play the newest games at their fullest.
I think they decided that porting the game for the PC simply wasn't worth the effort, and they gave us that excuse (which might have some truth on it) just to "appease" us. A shame, really. This game's probably the best Star Wars action-adventure game since Jedi Knight II, and LucasArts (previously LucasFilm) is well known for its PC games. It's sad they decided to leave the PC out of the loop this time. Almost feels like betrayal.

PS3 and Xbox 360 are the same than PC in fact those new console are PC based with CPU and GPU stack on a Mobo and sold in package with their own OS system.
The fact is that several company release unfinished game or weak port for PC because they don't want to bother with patch or crap like this.
Well mister Lucash who make Lucasarts on the map PC gamer`s.
But i see loyalty only go 1 way in this industry.
And you have the RIAA gestapo to cover your rear.
I would laugh if their a smart guy making mod or emulator so pc gamer can play the game and you receive no more $$$ from a piss off fan
