<br />
As if to confirm <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/07/19/rumor-polish-retailer-leaks-swtor-pre-order-info/">the rumor from yesterday</a>, GameStop's website briefly displayed a pre-order page for the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/star-wars-the-old-republic/"><em>Star Wars: The Old Republic</em></a> collector's edition. According to the page, the full collector's edition will be priced at $149.99 US and chock full of CE goodness.<br />
<br />
According to the rumor, the full collector's edition will contain these items physically in the box:<br />
<ul>
	<li>
		<em>Exclusive Gentle Giant Darth Malgus statue</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>Star Wars: The Old Republic game disks in collectible metal case</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>The Journal of Master Gnost-Dural annotated by Satele Shan</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>The Old Republic galaxy map</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>Music of Star Wars: The Old Republic CD</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>High-quality Collector's Edition box</em></li>
</ul>
Also, when the game goes live your account will be granted these seven additional digital items:
<ul>
	<li>
		<em>Flare Gun: Fire flares into the air</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>Training Droid: Hovers at your side for combat assistance</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>HoloDancer: Project your own holographic dancer</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>HoloCam: Keep visual records of in-game adventures</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>STAP: Sleek and unique in-game vehicle</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>Exclusive Mouse Droid: Spunky Droid to join your adventures</em></li>
	<li>
		<em>Exclusive Collector's Edition Store: Unique in-game vendor with an assortment of items</em></li>
</ul>
If that was not enough, Gamestop's pre-order is said to grant early access to the game as well as a crystal that changes the color effect on your weapon.

Emphasis on non-melee abilities? Check. Robes? Check. Hm, if it weren't for those lightsaber moves, we'd almost have to say <a href="http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classes/jedi-consular"><em>Star Wars: The Old Republic's</em> Jedi Consular</a> is a "magic" class. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/BioWare">BioWare's</a> released the official page for the newly revealed class, and looking through it proves that even in a galaxy far, far away you can find clothies.<br />
<br />
The primary difference between the Knight and Consular is how they fight; one gets up close, while the other prefers to hang back a bit. Sure, the Consular can throw down in melee if need be, but when you command a significant degree of force powers why bother? Check out the new Consular screens below, and check out the <a href="http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classes/jedi-consular">official class page</a> for all your lore related goodness.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/star-wars-the-old-republic-1/">Star Wars: The Old Republic Screenshots</a></strong></p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/star-wars-the-old-republic-1/#1357047"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2009/02/ss_20090213_004_1600x900_thumbnail.jpg" alt="A Hutt" title="A Hutt" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/star-wars-the-old-republic-1/#1357048"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2009/02/ss_20090213_005_1600x900_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Cantina of the Hutt Palace" title="Cantina of the Hutt Palace" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/star-wars-the-old-republic-1/#1111058"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/10/ss_20081021_droidswithblasters_full_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Droids with blasters" title="Droids with blasters" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/star-wars-the-old-republic-1/#1111059"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/10/ss_20081021_tomblightsaberduel_full_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Tomb Lightsaber Duel " title="Tomb Lightsaber Duel " /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/star-wars-the-old-republic-1/#1111060"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/10/ss_20081021_trooperopensfire_full_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Trooper opens fire" title="Trooper opens fire" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/12/04/bioware-opens-the-jedi-consulars-class-page/">BioWare opens the Jedi Consular's class page</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 04 Dec 2009 19:00:00 EST.
