After a bit of a delay, a rather large Friday Update has posted at the official Star Wars: The Old Republic web site. First and foremost on display is a Character Progression video for the Smuggler.

Best progression video yet!
Absolutely love the Indiana Jones reference – priceless!a

I love the Indiana Jones and Han Solo references. I think the class should be called The Ford.
Hehehe.
3 more progression videos to go: IA, JC and SI. Need more timelines as well.
Smuggler video was nice.
Loved the smuggler vid and Jeff’s cameo. Do you suppose there are multiple ways to holster your weapon? It would get old if you twirled your guns every time you put them away. That’s also the first time I’ve seen a lightsaber used to open a door.
Haha, well that’s where you are wrong! The first instance was back in E3 2009, was it the black talon flashpoint? You can watch the dallas dickinson walkthrough on SWTOR still :p I’m sad.
Progression video was very funny. I didn’t know there was a dev blog, I’m going to go look that up right now. Thanks TORWars!
