The Star Wars: The Old Republic team at the BioWare Austin studio has released its first Developer Dispatch video, which takes us through the design process for Tython, "the planet where the first Force users assembled and the Jedi Order was established."

While the video only shows some minor clips of gameplay, the information is interesting for any fan. On this starter world, you'll get the chance to focus on your Jedi training. Prepare to go on a vision quest, forge your lightsaber and head out into the universe as a member of the Jedi Order.

There's numerous interviews in the video. Shawn Ketcherside, senior world designer, explains that Tython was mainly unexplored in the Star Wars canon, which gave them a lot of freedom to create a unique world. Alex Freed, managing editor, talks about how the team comes up with fun quest ideas for the world. And Senior Concept Artist Clint Young discusses how Tython will be lush and beautiful to compliment the Jedi way of life.

They'll be more Developer Dispatches in the future, so keep checking back for even more tours through BioWare Austin.
