Friday Update: Music & Sounds of The Old Republic, Blood of The Empire 7

Sean Dahlberg, Star Wars: The Old Republic Community Manager, posted in the official forum today, giving us a heads up about three new pieces of content for this Friday. This massive update includes a Developer Dispatch, a Developer Blog, and a new issue of the Blood of the Empire webcomic.


Our exciting news day starts with a new Developer Dispatch video focusing on the music of The Old Republic.

The emotional experience of Star Wars comes to life in new music created exclusively for The Old Republic. From soft melodies that ring in the forest of Alderaan to the magnificent booming of a battle scene on Ord Mantell, a talented team of composers, musicians and developers came together to create a magical score for the game.

Watch Developer Dispatch: Music of The Old Republic to see what goes into weaving the familiar Star Wars riffs with a new original score. And learn how music impacts the thrilling moments in video games as well as movies.


The second new content continues this focus on the audio in The Old Republic with a developer blog by Orion Kellogg, Audio Producer for LucasArts.

When you consider the legacy of Star Wars, what you hear has indeed moved and excited its fans: the orchestral score, the Cantina music, Chewie's roar, and the pew-pew of a blaster rifle instantly take us to a galaxy far, far away...


For anyone interested in learning more about the Audio of TOR, we encourage reading our interview with the LucasArts audio team.

Last, but certainly not least, Sean revealed the seventh issue of the Blood of the Empire webcomic:

In the seventh issue of Blood of the Empire, Teneb Kel finds himself beaten and bloodied in the aftermath of the Lenico colony's destruction. Trapped on a strange planet, he must draw upon the ancient Sith arts in order to ensure his survival--and to learn the secrets he needs to resume his vendetta against Exal Kressh.
