3 Planets We’re Expecting to See in The Last Jedi
We’ve finally stopped watching the trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi on a loop. The trailer – released to satisfy fans’ eager excitement until the December 2017 release date and ticket sales – threw up more questions than it answered. From the circumstances surrounding Carrie Fisher’s General Leia Organa’s exit following the actress’s untimely death in late 2016 to the fate of Kylo Ren. While some fans were also quick to point out that the poster design resembled the face of Star Wars legendary villain Darth Vader. But we have one other burning question: which planets are we likely to see in the film and how will this impact the spate of games that follow it? One of the most exciting aspects of Star Wars Battlefront and Battlefront 2 is the variety of locations from the Star Wars canon that allow us a new planet to explore and battle…

SWTOR: Commanding Legacy and Mirror Classes
Eric Musco took on the official forums and provided some clarification regarding the Commanding Legacy perk for mirror classes: Hey folks, I verified with the team and the current implementation is intended, but I am seeing some confusion around the perk so let me explain how it works. Every time you hit Command Rank 300 on one of the mirrored base Classes (more on that in a sec) you get a 25% bonus to the base value for CXP gains. Since there are four sets of mirrors, you can gain four stacks of this buff, up to a total of 100%. It looks like this: Any Knight or Warrior to 300 adds +25% Any Consular or Inquisitor to 300 adds +25% Any Smuggler or Agent to 300 adds +25% Any Trooper or Bounty Hunter to 300 adds +25% Separately, I know there are questions about how we communicated (or didn’t) around…

SWTOR: “The Hot Prospect” is no longer a Hot Prospect…
Due to an Outrage through the SWTOR community, BioWare is renaming “The Hot Prospect” server to “Satele Shan”. So I guess we can start calling her the “Hot Prospect” Hey folks, We have made the decision to rename The Hot Prospect server to Satele Shan. Since we announced the new server names, we have received some concerns from people regarding the name The Hot Prospect. Specifically, that phrase could be taken in slang terms to be derogatory towards certain individuals. We take this very seriously as we would never want to create a situation where someone is made uncomfortable by something such as a server name. We will be updating all of our communications (such as the FAQ and blog) to reflect the new name in the coming days. Thank you for your understanding. -eric

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Official Overview Preview
EA just posted a new video showing off Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Looks like they answered the vast majority of complaints fans had about the first Battlefront: Classes Better dog-fighting mechanics & emphasis on space battles More Vehicles Revamped Star-Card system More maps & locations Prequel content An actual single-player campaign But if I was a betting man I’d say people will still find something to complain about. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is slated for release on November 17 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 with a $59.99 price tag. Anyone who pre-orders the game will receive access to the game’s beta period three days earlier than everyone else, among other bonuses.

SWTOR Game producer Keith Kanneg, just inform the community, that BioWare will be releasing the Autumn update of the roadmap before the NYC Cantina in next month: Hey everyone, I have seen quite a few questions about the status of the Roadmap, both in timing and in content. I know this is more of an announcement of an announcement, but the plan is to deliver the updated version before our October 6th SWTOR Cantina in New York. I also realize I’ve been more quiet this past month, but we’ve been hard at work making sure we avoid the issues we had last month with Game Update 5.4. As a result, we pushed back the release date of Game Update 5.5 to October 10, 2017, and as you’ll find out, we have lots of activity happening every couple weeks. In the Roadmap, I will provide you with exactly what we’re doing through…
