Music, audio, webcomics and more: It is super-reveal Friday for SWTOR's fans
With Comic*Con less than a week away, BioWare is passionately preparing for the stellar event. And to tease us into wanting more, the development team threw us a gigantic Fan Friday for Star Wars: The Old Republic. What secrets were revealed in the newest issue of the Blood of the Empire? What can be divulged in a Developer's Blog about audio? How do we discover this secret the SWTOR Community Manager wants to tell us? And music in an MMO? Is that important? The Developer's Dispatch wants to show us. All of these and other important questions will be answered if you click the little "Read more" button below.
SWTOR teases with the next Blood of the Empire webcomic installment
Star Wars: The Old Republic has done it again! The fourth installment of The Blood of the Empire has us itching for more, and asking more questions. Will Teneb Kel find his mark? How did Exal Kressh betray the Empire? This dialog-heavy issue introduces us to two new characters, an unnamed Jedi Master and his apprentice. The Jedi pair face the dilemma of trusting a Sith woman, Kressh, who (we found out last issue) was the apprentice to the Emperor himself. According to the Jedi Master, they are "staking a lot on this mystery woman" and the Jedi council has given them one chance to discern her intentions. On the Sith side, Teneb Kel pits off against a gangster-baron of the orbiting Lenico IV colonies, Ybann the Hutt. Should Kel trust the slug when told that Kressh has left? Should he trust his companion, named Maggot, when pressed to tell the one-eyed alien who Kressh is? You will notice a wrap around the Jedi Master's eyes. This wrap is similar to those worn by other Jedi such as Q'Anilia, Jerec, and the famous KOTOR 2 character, Visas Marr. This could be a hint that he is a Miraluka, but the greater question remains: Is Miraluka a possible playable race? Perhaps this will be one of the questions answered at E3.
Hyperspace Beacon: Empires strike back
Welcome, space traveler to another addition of the Hyperspace Beacon. Gear yourself up, and you may want to take out a notepad. We are delving deep into Star Wars lore this week. This will set the stage for future additions of the Hyperspace Beacon. I hope to not only answer some of your questions but also bring more questions to mind. Sith Empires have always played a huge role in Star Wars history. In fact, with few exceptions, any time there was a major threat to the galaxy it came in the form of a Sith Empire. Sith Empires can be traced back as far as one hundred thousand years before the destruction of the first Death Star with the first Sith'ari, Adas. Adas was the first to unite the red-skinned Sith race under one banner. But these first Sith were not Force-wielders in the same vein as the Dark Jedi who followed them. Following the break I will share how the Great Sith Empires came to be, the wars that surround them, how they are tied to the Empire in Star Wars: The Old Republic, and some of my speculation on what will be revealed in the game.
SWTOR reveals the Emperor in webcomic
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the Empire Strikes Back. Just as in that monumental movie, the newly-revealed Emperor gives deadly instructions to his kneeling servant in Star Wars: The Old Republic's issue #3 of Blood of the Empire. Bioware's ingenious marketing campaign of webcomics drags us to the edge of our seats again. The issue begins explosively as Sith Warrior Teneb Kel faces off against his former Master, one he claimed to love as a father. This frantic and fear-filled lightsaber duel is cut short by the Sith Council just before Kel removes his Master's head, although this does not end Kel's trials for the day. A white-robed Emperor awaits with a final test: Exal Kressh. You may recall her in the last issue as the "pure blood" Sith. Her connection to Kel is yet to be revealed, but there is no mistaking the shock on his face when the yellow-eyed Emperor asks him to kill her. The pacing and art of this whole comic captures the audience much better than the Threat of Peace, but information just is not being revealed fast enough for the fans. To judge for yourself check out this week's edition.
