Tatooine Revealed, New Threat of Peace, and TOR Clichés
The latest planet has been revealed for play in The Old Republic and it is none other than Tatooine:
Far in the Outer Rim, the sands of Tatooine bake beneath the glare of two bright suns. Small pockets of barely civilized communities dot the desolate landscape, surrounded by the endless expanse of barren dunes and rocky canyons that have silently slain so many of those who ventured out into desert. Among the small shantytowns and settlements that persist, travelers may find shelter from the brutal climate, but trust is as rare as water on this lawless world. Visitors and locals alike must constantly watch their backs in Tatooine’s townships.
There are also new screenshots, concept art, and wallpaper for Tatooine.
The latest Threat of Peace, issue 22, has been released this week as well:
The twenty-second issue of Threat of Peace™ takes us to the long-abandoned Jedi Enclave on Dantooine, where Lieutenant Tavus meets the true culprit behind the efforts to undermine the peace treaty. It seems Master Dar’Nala survived her Imperial captivity after all, and everything that’s happened since has been all part of her plan. Despite his doubts, Lieutenant Tavus agrees to assist Master Dar’Nala in completing her plan by slaying the Sith mastermind, Lord Baras.
Check out the latest issue of Threat of Peace now.
Lastly, IGN has run an article dealing with what clichés we can expect to see in The Old Republic based on common themes from the Star Wars movies and other games. Check out the full article here.

Watch Developer Dispatch: Diverse Worlds and go behind the scenes to find out how the developers are bringing the worlds of Tython, Korriban, Hutta, and Ord Mantell to life – a few of the many playable worlds in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™.
Ord Mantell Revealed for The Old Republic!
Ord Mantell is the latest planet that has been revealed to be present in The Old Republic.
