Signed about 400 books for my fans, did a couple Q&amp;A panels and just tried to soak up the whole experience. Oh, and we officially debuted the cover for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starwars.com\/vault\/books\/revancover\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Revan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We also decided we&#8217;d start taking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swtor.com\/preorder\" target=\"_blank\">pre-orders <\/a>for Star Wars: The Old Republic, with a release window set for\u00a0the 2011 Holiday Season!

If you weren&#8217;t there &#8211; or if you were and you just want to relive the glory that is me &#8211; you&#8217;re in luck. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bioware.com\/biowaretv\" target=\"_blank\">BioWare\u00a0TV <\/a>has recorded all the action.
