With almost no news in the lead up to Star Wars Celebration, we speculate wildly about what BioWare could reveal at the Community Cantina.

1. Introduction

Charlie (Kranitoko) opens a hypercrate of Shipment 2 Contraband Packs in his latest video.

2. Tip of the week

Congratulations to this week’s winner, Dekion! Thanks to Scottthomas for entering. Also congratulations to GasGuy, who was given an honorary prize because his tip was so awesome.

Please send your tips to ootinicast@gmail.com by next Tuesday for a chance to win a Taunfawn or M8-R3 droid code, courtesy of BioWare, and an OotiniCast-provided Cartel Market pack from the latest shipment.

6. Sarlacc Digest

Who knows what will be revealed about what’s coming up for SWTOR at the Community Cantina being held in conjunction with Star Wars Celebration? Certainly not us! But we make a few good (or perhaps not-so-good) guesses…
