Community News

Hello everyone!

Welcome to this week’s Community Round-Up. Every week, we highlight some of the most interesting discussions in the community as well as player-created events happening on certain servers in The Old Republic™. While most of these discussions occur on our forums, we also try to look at what people are saying about Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ on other sites whenever we can.

If you have nominations for next week’s Round-Up, please post them in this thread. Please remember the Community Round-Up blog is meant to highlight interesting, productive discussions and server events - not the most talked about forum threads.

Let’s begin!

The Smuggler Fashion Show: Melkathi created this thread not long after launch, but it has continued to thrive! You can find many images of smuggler gear here as well as post a screenshot of your own stylin’ captain.

• Dracunculus: “This is my lady smuggler modeling the TD-03A Prototype Saboteur's Jacket, which dropped from a champion-level enemy among the bandits in the Taris bonus series. (The rest of her gear is the level 49 crafted armormech set). I like it because it's colorful and gives her a sort of space-bandito look.”
• Shushhie: “IDK if this helm has been posted here yet or not but its what iv been using and love it so far its called the TD-05A marksmen headgear i felt it was only right with my fur coat ( which i found thanks to an earlier post someone had on here ) to take it while on hoth
