The Power of Voice Overs

As revealed during E3, Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ will be fully voiced. Watch our third Video Documentary, where we explore how voice-over
conversations deliver a deeper level of immersion and connection to the story and development of characters. Every playable character and every non-playable character in the game will be brought to life by voice actors — resulting in several thousand speaking roles and hundreds of thousands of recorded lines of dialogue!

Return of Mandalore

Return of Mandalore

In his last report, Master Gnost-Dural, Keeper of the Jedi Archives, delved into just how the smuggler Hylo Visz broke the Mandalorian Blockade. In this latest entry, he looks at the circumstances surrounding the rise of the Mandalorian army and why they blockaded the Republic's most critical trade route. Watch Return of the Mandalorians and see just what Master Gnost-Dural has uncovered.

SW: TOR Smuggler Class Information Released!

July 13, 2009
Smuggler

Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ reveals the next playable class, the street savvy, credit seeking Smuggler.

Making a profit from the desperate needs of a war-torn galaxy is how the Smuggler earns his credits. Transporting contraband, stolen goods, and highly sought-after fugitives through treacherous trade routes is in high demand, and more and more Smugglers are taking advantage of this opportunity.

Any self-respecting Smuggler must be able to shoot or charm his way out of the most complex predicaments. They must be incredibly quick-witted, able to bargain with the underbelly of society, and most importantly, they must be able to deliver... their lives depend on it.

Find out more about the Smuggler and download the latest Smuggler wallpapers.
