This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #20: The Flirron! This very tiny and hungry flying fish from the planet Onderon, a world rich in Star Wars lore, can be found by #SWTOR achievement hunters and won't cost you a single Cartel Coin or credit.

I'm okay with SWTOR's hook and layout system, although I think there are some changes they could implement to give players a bit more freedom to decorate. Say, for example, the ability to adjust the size of carpets.

I love what I've seen of WOW's new housing system, and I hope that SWTOR might take some steps to update how we decorate our Strongholds.

I do love the #SWTOR Feast of Prosperity event, but gosh are the two new "Grand" carpets really smol, especially compared to last year's addition. I really do wish we could scale some decorations like this.

EA is being sold.

I've done my best to address many of the topics, questions, concerns and comparisons that I've seen come up from players about the future of EA and #SWTOR. A very long read, with lots of topics! 📖

I've always thought that Z0-0M should be able to use any companion customization.

I hadn't planned to celebrate the 9th anniversary of This Week in Aurebesh with a post about Electronic Arts, but here we are. I don't know how this all will affect #SWTOR, but I do lament the human cost these deals take on the people who make the games we love.

This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #19: The Nefarious Blurrg! Despite (or perhaps because of) its ridiculous appearance and name, the Blurrg has made its mark on very nearly every era of Star Wars lore. It's also one my favorite #SWTOR pets!

It’s official: EA is going private.

The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

As part of the research for my next Pet of the Old Republic, I had to dig this big boss of a book out of the back of my closet. Not everything #StarWars is on the internet it seems!

The massive "Star Wars Chronicles" reference book, excavated from my dark, dusty library by a bunch of this year's Star Wars Black Series figures.

Maybe it was Commando then? Funny that part of the challenge of healing then was simply not having a full toolkit.

I remember Vanguards and Powertechs didn't have an interrupt for the longest time.

Eternity Vault at 50 was tricky because the fall dmg during Soa because there were 3 AOE heals in #SWTOR at the time. When reaching a pause on the platforms, one pug started yelling "Heal! HEAL! HEEEAL!" I said "Dude, my AOE heal has a cast time." He says "It's instant on my Scoundrel." My reaction:

"Yeah, that's Amazing." Ramona Flowers is definitely a sage healer.
