SWG Leak Reveals Playable Jawa, Gungan Characters?

Anonymous SWG Fan writes "Through a 'Friday Feature' giving players a look inside the player-species statistics for their PC MMO, 'Star Wars: Galaxies' accidentally released the names of the secret two player species coming with the highly anticipated 'Jump To Lightspeed' expansion. This information was not supposed to be released until later this summer, but when putting up the statistics on current species, 'Jawa - 0%' and 'Gungan - 0%' appeared. They were removed almost immediately, but not before dozens of people had already posted about the mistake on the official Star Wars Galaxies forum." Update: 06/12 21:38 GMT by S : According to Community Manager Kevin 'Q-3PO' O'Hara in the same thread: "OK, OK, it was a joke. I will not confirm or deny any rumors about the two new species" - make of this what you will.

    A player's single jawa character will actually consist of a pack of jawa's that attacks in swarms and tactically swing clubs as each of the knees and joints.

    Oh man! And people thought I was irritating playing a balding, red-headed obese CPA with a bad comb-over dancing in a black speedo, whining about how his wife left him that morning and he just "didn't care anymore".
