Just doing a little catching up with Star Wars: The Old Republic through some recent updates on the game's official site as well as some voice acting casting news.

As for the site updates...

The latest Fan Friday addition includes:
- New fan created art, fiction and a guide to the Sith
- The Developer Corner gives you a look at some Force Lightning in action as well as views of some customizable appearance features
- New forum avatars
- New polls
- Screenshots from the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2010

In the, "in case you missed it" category, Belsavis was recently announced as a new playable planet. If you have yet to do so, make sure to also check out the announcement of the new Blood of the Empire webcomic.

Our friends at EUC report that Jennifer Hale (Bastila Shan in Knights of the Old Republic and Aayla Secura in TCW) will be voicing the role of a rebel trooper. The news stems from an interview Hale provided with PC Gamer (UK).

EUC also has a nice TOR round-up worth checking out as it touches on gameplay testing and the inspiration for the trooper class.
