RNN Report: A Culture of Freedom
The Galactic Republic’s war with the retreating Sith Empire has taken a massive toll on the galaxy, perhaps nowhere as much as the commercial hub of our great Republic: Corellia. Despite galactic turmoil, the people of Corellia continue to fight for what they believe in. Coruscant may be the heart of the Republic, but Corellia [...]
Force Reflection: What does your hilt look like?
It’s hard to imagine Star Wars without the lightsaber. That shimmering blade, the snap-hiss that heralds what is certain to be a fight. I doubt there is a fan alive who hasn’t dreamed of owning one.Each lightsaber has the same basic parts: crystal, emitter and hilt. While the choice for color of the blade is [...]

Force Reflection: What does your character want to forget?
“Would You Rather” is always a thought-provoking game. In one particularly philosophical round, I was posed the question: would you rather be able to wipe memories from someone else’s mind, or your own mind? At first, the answer seems simple. Erasing memories from someone else’s mind would allow you to do whatever you want without [...]
Those Healers Need Protecting!
I spend most of my time in SWTOR PvPing these days and my main character is a Jedi Knight Guardian. He’s got a balanced tank heavy spec that is able to do some DPS as well but he’s more than capable of holding a base or protecting a healer. The problem is, at least on my [...]

“Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” ~ William ShakespeareLeaders in the Star Wars universe are indeed charismatic individuals that exhibit the quality of “greatness.” Some of these leaders are not even of high rank in their organizations. Some become leaders through fear.The [...]
The Ups and Downs of Flying: Pilots

Force Reflection: How girly are you?
Sexism has little place in the world of Star Wars. There is rarely any discrimination given between females and males; equality of the sexes are often pretty even, unless you live on Nar Shaddaa that is. But that doesn’t mean a girl can’t be girly. It doesn’t mean that she doesn’t like to paint her [...]
