StarWars Galaxies

LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment have announced that the pre-order of Trials of Obi-Wan, the new expansion for Star Wars Galaxies, is now available. Here you have the press release:

LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment today announced that Star Wars Galaxies: Trials of Obi-Wan, their expansion available only via digital download, is now available for pre-order.  All who pre-order will get access to Trials of Obi-Wan on October 25th (a full week before its official November 1st release!), as well as an exclusive eight-player Transport Skiff never before seen in Star Wars Galaxies – the first eight-person and fastest multi-person transport ever featured in the game! Set on the Episode III planet of Mustafar and including missions delivered by the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Trials of Obi-Wan will be available for $29.99.

Like Obi-Wan Kenobi after his death, Star Wars Galaxies has become “more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” Appropriately, Trials of Obi-Wan allows players to better understand the meaning of these final words spoken by Luke Skywalker’s mentor, as they embark upon missions delivered directly from the spirit of the revered Jedi Master himself. From the very shores of molten lava where he defeated Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan guides players on quests that span the planet Mustafar – some of which might even convert devotees of the dark side over to a more virtuous path. This expansion features many new high-level quest rewards, including the ability to find a fiery red crystal found only on the volcanic planet that creates a lava-like lightsaber for the lucky owner. Players who fulfill all of Obi-Wan’s directives will also receive a rich reward.
