The uneasy peace established by the Treaty of Coruscant is broken and both the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire build their armies. As both sides prepare for open war, a new generation of heroes must rise up to meet the challenges of a volatile age, declaring their allegiances and fighting for what they believe in.

    Definitely most awesome after 1:35.

    In images 17 and 18, what's that big black thing in the air above the Imps? Is that a ship? If it's a ship, maybe this is a warzone, similar to the Alderaan Warzone one with ships for each side above. I didn't see a Republic analogue in the video though, but maybe that was just the camera angles. The mystery continues...
  • #64 Davidicus
    With the level of action and number of characters, I think that was definitely a warzone.

    Why are the Focusing Crystals exposed on Lightsabers? I am headed over the the SWTOR Forums to stir the pot.

    Any ideas on the VAs for the classes? We already know David Hayter is the Jedi Knight, but what about the others? Fem BH is definitely Grey Delisle, and Sith Inquisitor sounds like Jamie Glover, Malgus' VA(but I'm less certain on that one).

    This is just a guess, but with the change in blaster fire color, maybe this is their way of showing off the pre-order item that changes the color of your blaster bolts?
  • #56 Stardis
    The people who are firing those bolts are the NPC troopers, not players. ;)

    Looks good, but the sad thing is the most amazing armor in there was the Imperial pilot. Really good looking armor sets now, graphics are so much better the last few months.
  • #53 Jaspor
    Yeah, that looks awesome. An Agent should be able to wear that Imperial pilot outfit, right? Right? Hopefully? :)
  • #47 Reave
    That trooper armor is just. . . . so awesome.
  • #45 theunwarshed
    any speculation on if that is a Corellian WZ or is it open world? it looks to me like there are only a handful of pc and the rest are npc. either way it has the proper battlefield feel, i just want to see some OWPvP epicness!

    I think I've translated the main text on Panel 22.

    A literal translation becomes "|m|oo|oo|n|l|i|*|h|t (second word inverted) |t|ng|a|n|s|i|t"

    * either an enth which is an "ae" letter or a thesh which is a "th" letter.

    Now is the point where we need to stop looking at what the letters should be and both look at the overall words and how the letters look. If you look at the orenth letters (the "oo" letter) they both look like the letter "o", meanwhile the enth/thesh letter looks like a capital G in English. On the second letter, less by similarity than there being only one viable letter to replace the inverted nen ("ng" letter), we can deduce that it's meant to be an "r".

    So what it's saying is "Moonlight Transit".

    Nice work. You beat me to it by a almost an hour ;p

    Adding to that, I even have a theory of why it is posted upside down but not backwards.

    When moonlight reflects off a lake, you get an inverse image of what is above. The word moonlight is above the water, the word transit is reflecting off the moonlight below it.

    All of this means absolutely nothing, but it's a neat little in game sign for whoever designed it. Clever dude.

    Oh yeah, I also agree that it is some kind of taxi company name like "Yellow Cab", just Star Warzy.

    Added with credit, thanks.
  • #44 zechio
    Well, this definitely looks like it...was kinda hoping for somehing more he way it was centered. Googled star wars moonlight transit, but didnt find anything. Kinda sounds like a travel company/taxi.

    Nice work.
