SWTOR: Creating the Smuggler

The official Star Wars: The Old Republic site has been updated with a close up look at the creative process behind the Smuggler class. Find out more below:

Are there Smugglers working for the Empire? Not really. In the Empire, the pay's lousy, the hours stink and the clients are creeps. The Empire is all about controlling people. If Smugglers wanted to be told what to do, they'd get real jobs.

Not all of these spirited adventurers are mercenaries, of course. Some have hearts of gold and don't worry about retiring to their own private moon. These heroes of the hyperlanes use their special talents to help the poor and downtrodden. It may not pay as well, but "honest" Smugglers make lots of friends. And when gangsters with informative names like Rogun the Butcher try to kill you, it's nice having a few people you can rely on.

The most successful Smugglers surround themselves with trusty companions who are handy with a blaster when deals go sour. Han Solo had Chewbacca as backup, and Smugglers in our game will have their pick of several memorable sidekicks.
