Update: TOR at Star Wars Celebration V

Although BioWare nor LucasArts have given any details about their presence at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, Florida next week other than that they would be there,  the official Celebration schedule had 2 panels entitled “The Art and Writing of Star Wars The Old Republic.”

Well, that schedule has now been updated to include a bit more info about those sessions. It seems that among other things, BioWare concept artists and will be creating a piece of concept art live during the session:

The Art and Writing of Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Drew Karpyshyn (Principal Writer, BioWare), Hall Hood (Senior Writer, BioWare), Arnie Jorgensen (Lead Concept Artist, BioWare) and Clint Young (Senior Concept Artist (Environments), BioWare) discuss what goes into creating the art and story in Star Wars: The Old Republic, the upcoming story-driven massively-multiplayer online role-playing game in development by BioWare and LucasArts. As an added bonus, Clint and Arnie will be creating an entirely original piece of concept art live during the panel, giving attendees a rare and exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. Don’t miss your chance to speak first-hand with the developers!

This should give fans of TOR an opportunity to see an entirely new process from the design team, and no doubt provide a teaser of what might come when the game launches.

Of course, we’ll be attending Celebration V all 4 days and will be attending all TOR related events!  Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to stay tuned for the latest exclusive developments during the convention!
