Ossus Academy Session Seven
Written by Admin | posted in Listen, Ossus Academy | 3 Comments |
Leo and Evan return for another infotaining session of lore talk from Star Wars: The Old Republic. This lesson features not one, not two, but three species briefings. Among the topics: Asajj Ventriss gets a free species change. Also, google-search the literary phrase “Mary Sue.” You might find it useful.
Music for this episode comes from selections of the Star Wars: The Old Republic Original Soundtrack. These are just some of the free tracks BioWare made available on Facebook. Big thank you to them and the whole musical team over there!
Once you’re done listening, or at the same time, if you’re the multitasking sort, come over to the official Mos Eisley Radio forums and let us know how our driving is, er, how you liked the show and what you’d like to hear on future sessions!
