Star Wars: The Old Republic Fan Friday

Welcome to the first Fan Friday! Each month, the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ team will highlight some of the contributions made by different community members. This month, we are spotlighting JensenBakura, StandAlone, and caine.

JensenBakura started a fan-fiction thread entitled The Cantina to help introduce new users to casual interactive role-playing. The concept behind it was to create an inviting setting where people can find like-minded roleplayers to interact with and then create their own roleplaying stories.

StandAlone has been accepting art requests from members of the community since the launch of www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com. One of these was a request made by DeaconX of his character Daxter Juno and another was created for Jerichostar. Feedback was so positive that he started up his own page on Deviant Art where you can see more of his work.

Last but not least, check out this great fansite, www.swtortemple.com, created by caine. Not only does it contain all the information accessible on the official website, but caine has also made it a point to collect information about TOR that is all over the internet. Make sure to bookmark his site!

These are not the only great pieces of community contributions. You can find a lot more in the Community Creations Forums. And if you have your own additions, feel free to post them. Who knows? Maybe next month we’ll be spotlighting something you’ve done.

This sounds fantastic. Im also wondering when the game comes out. But Im really happy about keeping the rpg style going.

It sounds like John really gets the community. Here's hoping John and Bioware have better luck pleasing the community then SOE did and keep the game alive for a long time.

Tue, 11/25/2008 - 17:09

I'm freakin itching for this game, but I'll be patient, do NOT rush it! I'd rather you guys take your time to create a master piece.

Congrats those who were spotlighted. Never been to the Community Creations forum. Guess I'll go over there and take a look.

Sat, 11/22/2008 - 00:59

Fan Friday? brilliant idea! :D

And hoorah for StandAlone. 8)

Sat, 11/22/2008 - 00:51

I'm glad to see that interest is roaring! I started a movie based on Star Wars, though I don't see how it relates...but look out for it on YouTube, I'm almost done with it!! :)

Sat, 11/22/2008 - 00:22

If nothing else I'm happy to see that there's consistency regarding releasing only what is in and working as desired, rather than "We're shooting for...".

Awesome nod to Stand and the rest. They deserve the spotlight..and it's quite a bit more notice taken by the Mods/Managers than one sees on many a title so early in development. Woot for the road ahead!

Fri, 11/21/2008 - 23:49

very impressed and jealous of the art. maybe I will buy a tablet after all.
