Another peek into 8.0: Introducing Ryloth, the Homeworld of the Twi’leks

Feeding Caravan Banthas and pillaging a palace in the sky make for quite a planetary itinerary. Jackie Ko introduces both in swtheoldrepublic's only new upload of the week, a promotional preview of Ryloth for Star Wars: The Old Republic's 8.0 update.

"Another peek into 8.0: Introducing Ryloth, the Homeworld of the Twi'leks" tours rugged terrain, settlements and the city of Konanat before getting into its dynamic encounters. There are relics to scan with a probe droid, Hutt and cartel operations to disrupt, and mercenary captains to confront with friends. The footage is marked as work in progress; Ryloth and its encounters are available on the Public Test Server, rather than presented as a finished release.

The preview has reached roughly 34,000 views and is comfortably the channel's most active video right now. Viewers are already thinking about the connections a new planet could make: several ask for dialogue involving Vette or their own Twi'lek characters, while another hopes for a callback to the Twi'lek community on Tython.

Channel-wide daily views are running at about three times their usual pace, though subscribers were unchanged over the week. Among nearby game-publisher and esports channels, LCS and 100 Thieves Valorant drew substantially larger weekly audiences, while SWTOR had a busier week than EA SPORTS F1 and Hogwarts Legacy.

Behind Ryloth, the "Legacy Reborn - Music Track" and the update's launch trailer remain the next most active uploads. The soundtrack credits Marco Valerio Antonini, Yitong ET Chen and Gordy Haab: a musical thread continuing alongside the channel's new planetary tour.

I hope there is a reference to the Twi’lek community on Tython. That would be a cool callback

This video reminds me so much of older game updates from 10-20 years ago, just chill and informative.

Even tho I rarely play SWTOR anymore after thousands of hours since Launch, but I love seeing this game still being active and getting big updates like that.
