Revealed: Jedi Consular

Channeling the power of the Force for strength and wisdom, the Consulars of the Jedi Order cut to the truth of any complicated situation as cleanly as their double-bladed Lightsabers cut down an army of Imperial foes. Whether unlocking long forgotten mysteries of the Jedi, raising armies to fight for the Republic, or engaging in mortal combat with Dark Lords of the Sith, the Jedi Consulars’ deep attunement to the Force gives them all the power they need to rise to any battle with poise and balance.

Revealed: The Imperial Agent

BioWare has revealed the next class for forthcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic - the Imperial Agent.

The Imperial Agent is the sixth class announced for the game, and the third for the Empire, joining Bounty Hunters and Sith Warriors. The other three classes currently known are the Troopers, Smugglers, and Jedi Knights, which will be fighting on the Republic side.

We're told that the Imperial Agent will let players explore "the underbelly of the Empire" and will be using high-tech gear to help them with their infiltration and assassination. Let the speculation begin.

This leaves two unannounced classes, and we have a suspicion there'll be news on them before too long. For now, though, check out the first screenshots of the Imperial Agent below.

Writing the Jedi Knight

Senior Writer, Drew Karpyshyn, fills us in on writing the Jedi knight class storyline and background.

But I was excited to step away from the dark side so I could embrace the challenge of writing the “good guy”. (Or “girl,” of course.)
