This week's Star Wars: The Old Republic Friday Update gives us the Imperial Agent progression video. The video gives a good look at both Advanced Classes. The Operative is shown using stealth and crowd control to get the upper hand on her enemies. The Sniper makes use of portable cover and high-powered rifles to take out her targets from a distance.
Also part of today's update is an exclusive preview of the upcoming Revan novel. Drew Karpyshyn's book based in the SWTOR universe will be released November 15 and this update gives us a look at chapters 3 and 11.
There was also an update to the official pre-order page that mentions the possible length for early game access.
DevTracker posts and video embed after the jump. Our dissection gallery of the trailer is below.
UPDATE: Early Game Access details are now available.
Many of you have been wondering how long Early Game Access will last, and we are now happy to announce that depending on when you redeem your Pre-Order Code, you will gain Early Game Access up to five days before the official game launch date.
Early Game Access is staggered over five days to ensure a quality experience for players at launch. Staggering access aids server stability and a gradual increase in player population through the game. Early Game Access will be granted according to when your Pre-Order Code is redeemed at the Code Redemption Center. If you have not yet pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic, there's still time! Visit our Pre-Order page for more information and watch the Collector's Edition Unboxing video for a peek inside this highly coveted edition of the game.

Posted 11/5/2011 10:33:31 AM"By the way, am I wrong here, but hasn't two classes from the Empire been female, while non from the Republic. HAH! Take that! The Empire is all for equal rights (or lack of rights) while the patriachial Republic tramples all over it's female citizens. Come join us, sisters, in your fight for freedom. :P "
You're wrong there :)
So far on the Class Videos, the Trooper, JK and SI was female, and in the Progression Videos, only the Agent. Still missing the JC and SI progression videos, but the ratio is at best 2:2 now :)
