This week, I at last return to the second of the four Aurebesh decorations awarded to players during Star Wars Celebration earlier this year. I started with the Republic version<\/a>, so it\u2019s only fair to give the Empire its due.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This Sith Empire propaganda poster shares a similar design and layout with its Republic counterpart; both feature their faction symbol, a bit of inspiring text and a background pattern. The Republic version expands on the light side Force symbols seen in Tau Idair\u2019s tattoos, but the Imperial version extrapolates out from the sharp angles and jagged shapes of the Sith Empire\u2019s logo.<\/p>\n

While I have recreated these posters separately, and most players aren\u2019t likely to see them hanging along side each other either on their Fleet hubs or a in a partisan\u2019s Stronghold, they really should be considered together.<\/p>\n

The posters\u2019 complementary color palettes instantly evoke a contrast between the two factions and Onslaught<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s stated goal to return SWTOR to the Jedi vs. Sith conflict. Blue and red have been signifiers of the calm, cool Jedi and the passionate, fiery Sith since Star Wars<\/strong><\/em>\u2019 earliest days. However, the posters also adopts the Orange-Teal contrast which has been fashionable in film for many years now. There has been much discussion about this trope<\/a>, but as visual short hand, it is remarkably effective. The inclusion of analogous colors, orange into the Sith\u2019s red color palette and cyan into the Jedi\u2019s blues, strike me as appropriate and natural additions to an existing thematic contrast.<\/p>\n

With SWTOR\u2019s expansion now almost in sight, I remain busy. I intend to spend sometime on the PTS in the weeks ahead, and I continue to have fun running Operations, although the Hard Mode Hive Queen is becoming something of a White Whale for me. Hopefully it won\u2019t come to me spitting my last breath at her. But there is also some unglamorous work to be done here behind the scenes, including, maybe, upgrading to a theme that is actually still being supported by its developer.<\/p>\n

But, I will keep the Aurebesh coming. My next recreation is likely to be something from my to-do list that is probably best completed before the door closes on SWTOR\u2019s Fallen Empire<\/em><\/strong> era.<\/p>\n
