This week’s Star Wars: The Old Republic Friday Update is finally worthy of the label “Friday Update”.  First we have a progression video for the Smuggler, showing off a variety of skills and outfits for both the Scoundrel and Gunslinger Advanced Classes.  Then there is a developer blog from on The Old Republic’s expanded universe told in the pages of several books and comics. Lastly, a PAX highlights video is available with fan commentary and footage from the booth.
The new Developer Blog by Senior Writer Alexander Freed focuses on the expanded universe of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Freed has some key insights on what goes into developing these expanded stories from his first-hand experience of writing two tie-in comics (Blood of the Empire and The Lost Suns). He also shares what fans can expect from future adventures set in this era.
