Star Wars: The Old Republic has done it again! The fourth installment of The Blood of the Empire has us itching for more, and asking more questions. Will Teneb Kel find his mark? How did Exal Kressh betray the Empire?
This dialog-heavy issue introduces us to two new characters, an unnamed Jedi Master and his apprentice. The Jedi pair face the dilemma of trusting a Sith woman, Kressh, who (we found out last issue) was the apprentice to the Emperor himself. According to the Jedi Master, they are "staking a lot on this mystery woman" and the Jedi council has given them one chance to discern her intentions. On the Sith side, Teneb Kel pits off against a gangster-baron of the orbiting Lenico IV colonies, Ybann the Hutt. Should Kel trust the slug when told that Kressh has left? Should he trust his companion, named Maggot, when pressed to tell the one-eyed alien who Kressh is?
You will notice a wrap around the Jedi Master's eyes. This wrap is similar to those worn by other Jedi such as Q'Anilia, Jerec, and the famous KOTOR 2 character, Visas Marr. This could be a hint that he is a Miraluka, but the greater question remains: Is Miraluka a possible playable race? Perhaps this will be one of the questions answered at E3.

I still feel TOR is getting over-exposed for release so far off. I mean in the first 2 pages there are three TOR stories. One about the comic, one about a dev moving to the TOR team and one about dialogue options.
Can't these be condensed more? There is already another weekly TOR article. Anyone who is interested already knows about the webcomic long before it is ever posted here. And in theory we could make an article about every dev post (hey, they're doing it on the TOR boards).
It's not that I don't want to see TOR information here, I do. But not every little detail needs an article and thoughts can be summed up in a weekly post rather then many little posts.

Over-exposed to the MMO enthusiast but not the average consumer. The majority of players that will play the game haven't even heard of it yet.

First silver skin humans and now blind fold wearing humans.
This game's race selection is BONKERS!

The real question here is:
Is there anyway that the MMO enthusiast will embrace a game with such high expectations?
