Well, fellow TORWarriors, it's time for our little weekly chit-chat, namely, Podcast #176.  In this week's show, we talk about all the latest in the SWTOR universe, including news about Bounty Contract Week, information about the public test server, and most importantly, we discuss the changes that are in store for all of the classes in the upcoming update 2.7.
We also share with you the very latest news for Star Wars in general, including the very latest about Star Wars Rebels, some good news for Clone Wars fans, a few things Disney has up its sleeve, and a very sad loss for the Star Wars family.

Of course, class updates aren't the only things that are ch-ch-ch-changing in our little corner of the galaxy, and in our last discussion segment, we'll tell you exactly what we mean.  And with that oh-so-cryptic remark, it's time to get on with the show!

INSIGHTS:

The PTS Character Wipe - is this a good idea?  Is it really necessary?  Why are some folks all in a tizzy about it?
The Star Wars official site is all about Star Wars Rebels, with the latest "Ignite" trailer featured:  will people of all ages watch the show?  Or is the show too "kid oriented" for adults to enjoy?
