Besides, by freeing the Bounty Hunter we get to see his awesome Tie Fighter-like ride, as seen above. Meanwhile, our Empire droid and Jedi seem to have fumbled their way into being saved from their tight spot adrift in the depth of space. Although, not everything is as it seems.
Unfortunately, there aren't any signs or hints at a new class this week, as has been the case in previous installments. No, this week just moves the story along. We could experience a dry spell of really exciting information up until PAX, but our hope is that won't be the case.

I'd be surprised if we even got to see a new class or something at PAX. I mean like, what, there are only a few left to be revealed, two of which are pretty much shoe-ins to be Sith/Jedi classes, and they are essentially required to keep this slow drip-drip-drip style of news revelations going up until near launch in order to retain interest (or so their PR people think, anyway). I'd be shocked if we hear anything about new classes anytime soon. I bet at PAX we'll get some new gameplay videos, maybe they'll display a playable demo (which would admittedly be pretty neat) but I'm just not holding my breath for any new information. :/

Apparently they do time new announcements for cons. Here's a blog post with a big quote: http://www.swtorblog.net/?p=368
"During this time of year, our announcements are planned around events such as E3, Comic-Con, GamesCom, PAX."
So yeah, they actually do plan to show off stuff at these cons.

Oh and since I can't find where to submit tips, apparently there's a TOR beta e-mail scam going around. I saw it here: http://darthhater.com/2009/08/03/swtor-beta-scam-psa/
Which has a link to an official BioWare post on Scams here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=31889
Seems like it could be an important notice for eager MMO/TOR fans here to be wary of scams like this.
