As with every Studio Insider, there’s also a community Q&A segement. This time around, the duties are handled by Rich Vogel, who is Executive Producer of The Old Republic™, along with being Vice President of Production at BioWare Austin.

• First is a brand new feature very close to our hearts – the Fan Site Spotlight! The inagural spotlight shines on Mos Eisley Radio, who have been doing an awesome job for the TOR community for a long time. They have a great podcast, and also a new videocast called “Open Bounty” which you simply have to check out! Go now!
• There’s also a new round of 5 incredible pieces of concept art. We see new imagery from Alderaan, Voss, Hutta, Nar Shaddaa and Taris!
• More PAX East details have emerged, and BioWare has revealed that there will be a community meet & greet event held on Saturday, March 12 with more details to follow.
