A couple of weeks back, I got an email from Ruairidh Duncan. Ruairidh hails from Scotland, he’s an ex bomb tech with the Royal Engineers, and he’s been a Star Wars fan since he was just a wee little fellah. Ruairidh (pronounce it Roory, TORWarriors) sent me something of a beta podcast called Two Jedi, One Sith – a test ‘cast, if you will – and it had genuine potential. Well, Ruairidh is back with his latest ‘cast, and it’s a doozy.

First of all, Ruairidh starts the entire thing off with the Star Wars theme played on bagpipes. Yes, bagpipes. Seriously, just by listening to it, one gets the impression that they must know a guy that plays, and they got him to bang out the theme just for them.  And these are not just any bagpipes, either – they’re the loudest freaking ‘pipes in all of Scotland. Seriously, folks, he pretty much had me at that point. That over-the-top, go-for-the-gusto enthusiasm is darned funny.

The "Two Jedi One Sith" podcast is not always a peaceful affair....

Now, mind you, this isn’t a super polished ‘cast by some audio engineers who’ve been doing this for years. Heck, the TORWars podcast isn’t even close to that, and we’ve been doing it for about a year and a half now. This is a podcast by Ruairidh and his buddies, Dave the Encyclopedia, Crazy Leslie, and Greg the G Man. They talk about the 1.1 patch, upcoming features in SWTOR, and community news. There are a few minor audio irregularities, but it’s all worth it, folks. If you’re looking for a new podcast, give this guys a listen and your support, and hopefully we’ll be hearing from them again soon.
