Guided by the Light Side of the Force, the Jedi are the ultimate defenders of peace, justice, and the Galactic Republic. The developers of Star Wars: The Old Republic are taking great care to ensure that Players can experience the classical Jedi fantasy represented in the films by such iconic characters as Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, and Yoda.
At the same time, choice is at the heart of The Old Republic and Players can also explore many other ways they can take their Jedi characters. Whether that means walking the path of the Dark Side like Anakin Skywalker or simply adopting a unique combination of fighting styles, a variety of options will be available.
Watch Developer Dispatch: Designing the Light Side, and learn about the process involved in creating the Jedi classes for Star Wars: The Old Republic.
As well as Designing the Light Side there is a Fan Friday which includes Fan Art, Avatars, Developer Corner, and new polls.
For those looking for a Dissection of the new Smuggler video, we have one available. On another note, earlier this morning we posted our 'General Information Learned' from PAX Prime 2010 which rounds out the last of our PAX related content. It contains a plethora of information about Star Wars: The Old Republic from the PAX Prime 2010 demo that fans should find interesting.
Working dissection of the Designing the Light Side video after the jump.

Posted 9/22/2010 5:15:45 PMAt image #8, or 2:41 in the video, there's seems to be an astromech droid spinning around in the background. Maybe an idle animation for T7-01? :)

Posted 9/21/2010 3:50:09 PMFor one, that is the first time you really get to see Corellia from a near-player perspective (camera behind the player, close in, almost like a real player with the UI removed). From that angle, Corellia is so much bigger than I first imagined. It is just sick to think what wandering around that place would be like.
The second thing that struck me, I wouldn't be surprised if it has been mentioned before, was that the Jedi Knight's Force Leap had a different animation from that of the Sith Warrior. The SW's Force Leap looks like a leaping overhead flip, while the JK's Force Leap looks like an acrobatic twist through the air. On a purely aesthetic level, that detail just made me grin. The overhead flip (SW) just looks aggressive and furious; the acrobatic twist (JK) looks agile and elegant. It could be there is a difference in animation between the different ACs of the JK & SW, but right now I am assuming it is just a difference in animation between the two iconic Force using classes. Either way, it looks spectacular.

It shows Spell damage in the upper right corner, it might just be another word they are using, but I hope it won't end up being used in the game. Nature spell damage, fire spell damage etc, just sounds silly to me. Not that Wizard isn't silly enough. :S
