https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9UI6pev19I Long before the clones started fighting the robots, Republic Troopers roamed the galaxy, keeping the peace with the aid of the finest weapons and sexiest armor this side of a Bounty Hunter. Let’s take a look at how Troopers progress in Star Wars: The Old Republic(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); You don’t start out with the good stuff. You have to build to that. Troopers don’t come straight out of character creation looking like the second biggest bad-asses in The Old Republic. They start off looking like the world’s most inept Stormtrooper cosplayer. It’s only when the character branches off into either a Commando or a Vanguard that they take on the appearance of soldiers [[link]] somewhat reminiscent [[link]] of guys [[link]] we’ve seen in Star Wars Isn’t this a military organization? One would think there’d be a certain uniformity to the outfits. I guess the Republic just took a cue from Halo‘s UNSC and lets their people decorate their armor as they see fit. The enemy has a harder time returning fire when they’re trying to figure out which costume is the coolest.
