    I'm definitely worried about the original release first... but as soon as the word invasion was mentioned I couldn't help but consider the first expansion as the republics retaliation into sith space.

    You guys got the whole HK raid wrong lol, your memories must be going a bit ;)

    You're mixing the last raid with the battle of Koyset. The last LAST raid is actually against HK-47, and he is named as such (battle of Koseyet's boss was the Taskmaster). And the last drop everyone wanted FROM HK-47 was the warmly glowing ENGINE ;)

    The silver lightsaber was in KOTOR2, so there shouldn't be any lore exclusion for it.

    Great Podcast Gentlemen and Ladies (Lady? Not sure if there is one more besides Em), and thanks for having guests on the show. Very nice to hear some different voices/perspective after such a monumental event. Brooks Guthrie from Mos Eisley Radio is a pretty righteous dude.

    Also thanks for running such a tight ship on updates from PAX. I'm sure it was daunting task and also very taxing, but thank you. It was an awesome gift to give us.

    I miss the clip a Vader "We would be honored, if you would join us." It just fit so well.

    I figured it was different on account that it was for PAX.

    I really don't get why everyone hates on the Wizard name myself. It was used in the first ever Star Wars movie. Sure it was an insult, but maybe the insult is just a reminder that the Jedi used to be abundant in the galaxy and now they are gone. So 3000 years before ANH... Wizard could very well be a name the Jedi call themselves.

    Besides...Star Wars happened a long long time ago in a galaxy far away...so they had the word first ;)

    I think the major reason for many folks, actually scratch that, let me speak for myself. The major reason for me is; the word wizard evokes imagery of D&D, Lord of the Rings, WoW, Warhammer, and Harry Potter. Personally, I'm extremely burned out on the High Fantasy MMO setting. This is why TOR is so exciting for me, I'm a life long Star Wars Geek and it represents two things I've been dying for in the MMO genre. Story, and a change of pace from the dreaded trinity. No, not that trinity, the Human/Dwarf/Elf trinity.

    To then bring in a name that immediately evokes images of the genre I'm trying to escape is a bit of downer. Not so much that I won't get over it, but it is mildly annoying.

    Also to put more emphasis on your comment, Bioware has stated many many times that the force is not magic so them using Wizard is just another thing to add to the list of contradictions that have come up throughout Tor's development.

    I like Harry Potter :(

    But I agree, the name Wizard would distract from the Star Wars vibe.

    Em was hilarious in Vent trying to "decode" Pete's texts.

    Nice podcast! I would love it if one of these conventions would come down south near or in Louisiana.
