Warcry talk to Jake “jneri” Neri, a Producer with LucasArts on Star Wars Galaxies, about the recently-announced Beast Master expertise system:

WarCry: Beast Master ranks up there as quite possibly the most-wanted feature by the community since the NGE left hordes of Creature Handlers with full datapads and empty hearts. How intense was the pressure to get it right? How do you think you did?

Jake Neri: There was definite pressure to get the Beast Master system right, as we had heard time and time again from players that they loved the old Creature Handler profession. The team took the overall idea of the Creature Handler profession, with all its high expectations, and made it far deeper and way cooler. I think now we see that Beast Master is exactly that: much more compelling than any similar features previously in the game, and also much more accessible to all players.
