I don\u2019t recall anyone at Bioware mentioning one way or the other about whether it would happen, but I figured I\u2019d use my teeny, tiny soapbox to add my voice to those who have already suggested it.<\/p>\n<p>A statue of a princess and a loyal astromech at House Organa on Alderaan has been the most common suggestion, and this would also be a fitting tribute to Kenny Baker who passed away last year as well. Certainly it could be done in a way that wouldn\u2019t violate continuity any worse than \u201cHun Duo\u201d and \u201cGreepo\u201d in the cantina on Hutta or the tableau of bounty hunters from <em><strong>The Empire Strikes Back<\/strong><\/em> on the <em>Ziost Shadow<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>But even if it did rip a hole in the time-space continuum, I wouldn\u2019t care. SWTOR is not a transmission of historical documents, it\u2019s a work of fiction, a game played and made by people in the real world. It\u2019s only natural that it should pay tribute to someone whose contributions to <em><strong>Star Wars<\/strong><\/em> had a real effect on generations of fans.<\/p>\n<p>So, of course, it should happen and I would hope the good folks at Bioware agree.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hadn\u2019t planned to post anything this week since I saw no point in competing with the news from Star Wars Celebration, but then I saw this and it genuinely choked me up: It reminded me of the suggestion that &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/2017\/04\/13\/why-swtor-should-pay-tribute-to-carrie-fisher\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-star-wars","category-general-swtor"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
