The official site of Star Wars: The Old Republic provides a bit more insight into the Jedi Consular class with their latest developer blog from writer Joanna Berry. Enjoy the excerpt below and then click here for the full blog entry.


"My favorite Star Wars? film has always been The Empire Strikes Back?. But while the battle of Hoth will keep me glued to the screen for that second when the AT-ATs appear out of the snow, the film?s defining moments are on Dagobah, while Luke struggles and trains with Master Yoda.

Before that, the Force was just a word that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader used, for a power whose glory days were long over. But on Dagobah, with Luke, we saw the Force differently; not as some simple trick that made Imperial Stormtroopers look the other way, but something greater. The Force? is a living energy binding the galaxy as a whole. It is something that, in the hands of a master, could raise a lost X-Wing from the depths of a swamp. And after the cave where Luke faced his greatest fears, we understood the most important lesson for a Jedi: you can?t solve every problem with one stroke of your Lightsaber.

The Jedi Consular knows that lesson better than anyone. Trained in the arts of the Force, driven by curiosity and the search for knowledge, the Jedi Consular sees that through the Force, all things are connected."
