Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO Log Part Four: Revenge Of The Sith

When it comes to epic battles between fictional forces, I generally find myself siding with the good guys. If I were a Transformer, I’d be an Autobot. I’d join G.I. Joe before Cobra. I consider myself more of a Plant than a Zombie.
