As it turns out, this is also true in the galaxy far, far away of Star Wars: The Old Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Busting a move in this game works both ways, apparently.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report over on Rock Paper Shotgun, using the\u00a0 command &#8220;\/getdown&#8221; will initiate player dance protocols and interrupt any incoming enemy attacks, effectively rendering the player invincible. That&#8217;s the power of dance, everybody. It&#8217;s like a magic shield from all the trials and tribulations of human existence, and laser guns.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody tried this in the beta? <em>Seriously<\/em>? I&#8217;m pretty sure it&#8217;s the first thing I&#8217;d have tried, because I can&#8217;t dance in real life and must experience my broken ballerina dreams vicariously.<\/p>\n<p>No word yet on any players spontaneously transforming into black swans, but this one&#8217;s probably going to get patched out pretty quickly. So dance, <em>dance<\/em> like there&#8217;s no tomorrow because there might not be one.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/2012\/01\/04\/let-the-wookiee-waltz-swtors-god-cheat\/\">Rock Paper Shotgun<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Old-republic-dance-party.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-30107\" title=\"Old republic dance party\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Old-republic-dance-party.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Old-republic-dance-party-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Old-republic-dance-party-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Old-republic-dance-party-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Old-republic-dance-party-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Old-republic-dance-party-170x96.jpg 170w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Old-republic-dance-party-297x167.jpg 297w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Old-republic-dance-party-250x140.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blame it on the boogie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":30106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[1791,1792,1494,1377],"class_list":["post-30088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","tag-exploit","tag-game-breaker","tag-star-wars","tag-the-old-republic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30088"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30088\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30096,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30088\/revisions\/30096"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
