Summary: <br> <br> Discuss this episode on the forums <a href="http://corellianrun.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&p=3573#p3573" target="_blank">here</a>.<br> <br> We’re back to our regular format this week with Carla, Kathy, and Roxanne. We also invited the fellows from <a href="http://torwars.com/">TORWars</a>, Jeff Hollis and David Moore, just because they are fun. The five of us debate Datacrons and the bolster system, plus we venture into release date speculation. Jeff and David have to leave after the Newsnet segment, which is good because Roxanne gets very, um, “excited” when we talk about skipping story in BioWare games. Somehow she manages to bring Silence of the Lambs into the conversation.<br> <br> FACT OR FICTION: Can you pick out the confirmed fact from the tall tales? This week’s host challenge involves Khem Val, the Codex, and auto-facing.<br> <br> FROM THE NEWSNET & BEYOND: Roundup of the most important announcements and news.<br> <br> * Friday Update 5/6: The Codex.
