Music and sound effects are a huge part of both movies and video games, and this is a great look at how important they will be in TOR as well.

Anyone else noticed the Darth in the comic also appeared in the video?
I didn’t notice that on the first run through… grabbing some other interesting screenies of things though. Like the tauntaun!
I almost wish they would right now release the soundtrack. The music sounds so awesome. I really like how the composers are looking at the game itself and writing music for it.
Loving the weather effects too. Also the flying ships on Ord Mantell, and the speeders.
JAWAS!
Ooh, as a side note, it might be possible that the Tauntaun could be a taxi as well.
I assumed that sort of desert-looking planet was tatooine
Definitely could be Tattooine, something about the aesthetics though make me think its not. But it definitely could.

I think those actually look pretty similar! And let’s not forget how huge worlds could possibly be, we could see entirely different aesthetics on opposite sides of a planet
Yep, after further review… the consensus is that’s another part of Tattooine.
Pretty sure image 3 is an Inquisitor not a Warrior. 1. He is wearing armor we see concept art of in a past dispatch vid for the Inquisitor.http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab90/hdomni12/SInewarmor3.jpg
2. That Dashade he is talking to appears to be Kim Vaal, a confirmed SI companion.
