In the lull before Game Update 1.7 appears on the PTS, we discuss the newly revealed details about the upcoming reputation system, and an interview with PvP designer Rob Hinkle.
1. Introduction
2. Trivia Question
The original trilogy boasts some great old-time actors, including Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing among them. Using IMDB, answer the following two questions:
- What actor with a speaking role of the original trilogy has the earliest acting credit?
- What actor with a speaking role of the original trilogy has the most acting credits?
I hope I’ve done enough research to properly identify the correct answers, but will of course check on any new answers that come in.
Hint: Alec Guinness does not have the earliest acting credit.
If you are interested in being entered in the random drawing for a Tauntaun Fawn code, please send your answer to ootinicast@gmail.com.
3. The Holofeed
- In an interview with CNBC, Disney’s CEO Bob Gier has confirmed that they are “working on a few standalone films” that are “derived from great Star Wars characters that are not part of the overall saga”. Can more Star Wars movies be anything but a good thing? Well, maybe…
- In Game Update 1.7 Developer Blog: Galactic Reputation, Jesse Sky (Lead Flashpoints and Operations Designer) gives us more detail about how the upcoming reputation system will work.
- Rob Hinkle is interviewed in the latest of BioWare’s “Meet the Developers” series. Questions subsequently asked by the community were answered by Rob in a forum post.
4. Community News
Chong has created a machinima dance video that is well worth watching. Impressive work!
We’d like to introduce Jacob Hausman, who has posted his first article: “Enduring Shadow, the PvP Tank Guide”. It provides a thorough overview of PvP tanking on either a Sith Assassin or Jedi Shadow, with plenty of useful tips and tricks to help one do better in warzones.
5. Force Feedback

@GregCarter78 provided evidence that the security chests in Outlaw’s Den really do exist:
@EmpireDivider (Chong) sent us this screenshot of a glitch in Void Star, that appears to grant him the power of flight (or at least levitation):
He also participated in a flawless victory in Ancient Hypergate (level 50):
@StoleTarts (Megan) mentioned that the food buffs available from Cantina vendors can make leveling a little bit easier:
@HolyCrapItsLate mentioned that on SWTOR’s Facebook page, a couple of pictures of (presumably) Game Update 1.7 armor had been posted:
The interview with Cory Butler from just over a year ago, in which he answered a question about our starships being used as customisable housing, can be found here.
