- Game Update 3.2: Rise of the Emperor was deployed onto the PTS during Friday’s livestream which you can still view on Twitch.
- If you play through the Ziost story on the PTS, note that “The End of it All” mission cannot be completed at this time.
- The Outfit Designer is also on the PTS as part of Game Update 3.2. Note that it is not a gear changer.
- There are also class changes coming for:
- Star Wars: Battlefront is confirmed to debut at Star Wars: Celebration (16-19 April).
- The Star Wars: Tie Fighter video, an Empire-focused short Star Wars animated in the style of class 80s anime, is well worth checking out.

The thread on the official forums found by Megan that describes how to copy your Interface Editor-created UIs from live onto the PTS can be found here.
Cole notes that it appears that there’s a crossguard lightsaber already in SWTOR! Well, kinda…
In Freedious’s own words: “The RNGree gods went full on purple parallel last night granting me the Helix Hyperpod by 1 point.” Looks great!
