In what has proven to be a quiet news week, we discuss some follow-up to last week’s March Producer Livestream, Charles Boyd’s first Inside the Story video and his visit to LA to supervise the recording of new voiceover. We then stray into general Star Wars news, including a letter from Alec Guinness.
1. Introduction
2. Tip of the week
Congratulations to this week’s winner, Ynroh’keeg of our own Ootini Rage! Thanks to Will for entering.

3. Holofeed
- Those who’d completed one or more class stories via an insta-60 have had their Legendary status revoked. It was not intended that an insta-60 (created using a Start at 60 token) would grant the class story completion achievement.
- Slicing nodes now drop Premium (green) rather than Prototype (blue) lockboxes, due to them returning too many credits. Slicing Missions are unaffected, and thus still return Prototype lockboxes.
- When five Strongholds can be unlocked in Game Update 4.3, the four most complete of the five Strongholds will contribute up to 25% each to your Conquest bonus, for a total of 100%.
- Another round of changes have been implemented to the Odessan Proving Ground 8v8 warzone on the PTS.
- Charles Boyd’s Inside the Story: Disavowed is now available on YouTube. Charles has also been tweeting about recording new voiceover in LA.
- A letter from Alec Guinness to Anne Kaufman provides some insight into the veteran actor’s impression of Star Wars: A New Hope.
- Pablo Hidalgo has been tweeting a series of excerpts from West End Game’s 1994 style guide for their Star Wars RPG.

Turg recommended this video that contains “all” the easter eggs and references in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
If you (for whatever reason) want your Imperial Agent to romance both Kaliyo and Raina simultaneously, this thread will tell you how to do it.
Kal got himself the Loyalty to the Bounty Hunter achievement… on his smuggler!
