Update 1.1.1.0 - The Last (Update Before) Jedi

The server was taken down for maintenance today, and an update was applied. Be sure to close the game and run your launcher. The update notes are as follows:

Note: Due to budget reductions changing funding priorities, we've made the decision to discontinue signing our builds of the SWG Client application. This change may result in Windows Defender or other antivirus applications warning you before you launch the game. This behavior is expected, and you can simply bypass the warning.

Jabba has grown tired of all the love festivals, celebrations of life, and other saccharine events. Thus, it is my duty to report to you that he has taken it upon himself to throw the scariest festival of the year! Jabba has sent me, Aponte, to give you a quick preview of some of the great things he has planned for the big celebration. In order to participate in what is sure to be the "ghoulest" happening this year, all citizens have to do is visit the Galactic Moon Festival Organizers that can be found outside of the Moenia and Mos Eisley starports (waypoints 4790 -4777 and 3523 -4806 respectively).
