Christmas has certainly come early for fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic, as today LucasArts and Bioware give expectant fans a Stardestroyer load of new screen shots of the recently revealed final two classes - Jedi Consular and Sith Inquisitor but, they also for the first time show group combat AND more importantly, first reveal of two companion species that you can expect to be by your side when the action becomes intense!

Many Bothans etc etc etc...... Click here to check out the screen fest! Stay tuned for the live darthhater Live Q&A later today where they will answer questions about the classes, what they have seen and played!

Thanks for the info! Those screenshots look very cool.

It really seems like Bioware is stepping up the frequency of their informaiton sharing. For a while there it seemed like this game would never come out, but there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel after all.

Character models seemed to have been improved, I'm liking them a lot more than when they first showed them with the over long limbs and spandex while carrying giant lightsabers. The world looks great as ever and theres alot of detail which is something missing from MMOs from SOE where you get an empty room with a box and an NPC in it lol.

However they said there will be lots of instancing which scares me because I want it to be seamless like WoWs world. I don't mind instanced dungeons that are built into the world so they feel natural. However I hate it when you get magically warped somewhere by talking to an NPC or you hit a loading screen all the time because the zones are so small.
