Youtube user ResidentPenguin made this genius Star Wars: The old republic / He-man mash up. The reason I love this stuff might be due to me owning almost as many He-Man action figures as Star Wars toys when I was a kid. If you are to young to remember He-Man, Here is a short history lesson: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe originated as an action figure collection from Mattel. The line was selling so well, Mattel asked the Filmation company to broaden the toy advertisements into a fully-animated series. That series came to become one of the most popular and recognized cartoon series of the 80s eventually spawning more lines of figures, several more series, three animated films, a live-action film, and a sister series (pun intended) geared towards girl called She Ra: Princess of Power. The epic storyline goes a little like this: Long ago in the Kingdom…

The Old Republic Insider – April 2013
BioWare’s Cory Butler is host of this months Star Wars: The old republic insider. Mr Butler goes through all the upcoming things coming to the game in near future, including barber shop, new items on the cartel shop and the Cathar spices. Check it out below:
BioWare post the second peace of the Cathar puzzle
BioWare just updated there facebook page with a new pieces in the Carthar puzzle. BioWare are excellent in teasing us with this kind of stuff, and I can’t wait to here what will be going on. Check out the image below or over at the official Facebook page.
SWTOR Facebook Tease, Cathar are Coming!
BioWare updated there Facebook page with a new image. We are not supposed to fully understand what it is yet, but it’s already obvious it’s a picture of the Carhar species. It’s not known yet how the Carthar Species will be unlocked, but many people are speculating that it will be via quest like HK-51 got unlocked, or maybe via reputation. Pretty sure it will be available on the Cartel market at some point also. Many people are questioning why this Species is so important to the Old republic lore. The story is that the Cathar played a very important role in ending the Mandalorian wars and are being hunted into extinction because of it. Their entire struggle is based of the plight of an old religious sect the spanish inquisition hunted to extinction. One of the most moving scenes in the entire expanded universe to me was when Revan was on their homeworld (in the kotor comic series) and…

Jawas, Wookies, Droids and More: Who’s Your Sidekick of Choice?
There are plenty of companions to choose from in SWTOR, five total for each class, adding up to 40 if you’re counting them all together. While playing through the game on my Bounty Hunter, we have come to the conclusion that Blizz is by far the best companion for a number of reasons. The Star Wars: The Old Republic companions come in many shapes and sizes, all with unique personalities. All three of these play into Blizz being a great companion, due to his comically small size and shape, coupled with his thoroughly enjoyable temperament. First of all, he is the only available Jawa companion, so +1 for that. Of course since he is a Jawa, he is rather small, which in this particular instance makes for a rather humorous contrast when he is standing next to a towering behemoth of a Cyborg bounty hunter. In addition to the visually…
