Listener Questions
Hey guys awesome show!! Just wanted to know how (if you were one of the developers) you would personally distinguish the jedi class from the sith class. I mean obviously the sith uses abilities exclusive to the dark side of the force and jedi from the light, and the sith is a melee /tank but what would you do to make the jedi seem and feel like a different class gameplay-wise.

Star Wars Holidays
@moseisleyradio I’m of the mind that this is a major blow to the argument for 4 Force-using classes. Can you talk about that this ep?

@moseisleyradio Great episode. In regards to the Hunter class, Slave Trader? That class brings up certain moral issues, but could work.

@moseisleyradio What do you think about classes like Jedi and Sith being announced so late instead of being first?

Good episode guys, great commentary on the class reveal. I definitely think that it’s good to get the obvious choices out of the way, leaving just the stuff we have no idea what to expect.
One minor correction that I missed on the previous poll. Mon Calamari is not a planet, it’s just a species. The planet they’re from is called Dac, which they share with the Quarren.
Alpha you are right. Although Mon Calamari is the way it’s pronounced in basic from my understanding. I thought I would cut and paste this out of wookiepedia
“Dac, as it was called in Mon Calamarian, Quarrenese, and Basic, also known as Mon Calamari and sometimes simply called Calamari, was a planet in the Calamari system of the Calamari Sector, located in the Outer Rim. It was home to a wealth of sentient species: the Mon Calamari, the Quarren, the Moappa, the Amphi-Hydrus, and the Whaladons.”
Man, you guys are really getting your nerd on!
Yea, in the Calamari district over by 5th and Calamari. Right next to “Calamari, Calamari, Calamari” and “5 Guys Calamari and Fries”.
