As you pull your speeder up toa secluded hut, high in the mountains of Dantooine, you notice something different. You hear the clang of an iron forge and someone hard at work coming from inside the hut.
"Wah? Oh! It's YOU. I thought you left. Made any Mabari Belts lately? I doubt they could hold up a Kunga's waistwrap anyway ... so I guess you want me to teach you MORE stuff you don't have the wits to figure out on your own, eh?"
"I am rambling again!!, Anyways, welcome back young apprentice." he gestures to you as you enter the small inclosure. His eyes never look up from the forge and the peice of armor he is crafting.
"It has been a while since I taught you the secrets of the Reinforced Insulated Sheath Armors" he tells you. You look around the shop and see several suits of armor that your eyes have never seen. The craftmenship is great and you know the hermit put many many hours into crafting each of the peices before you.
"are you ready to learn more?" the hermit asks. "Are you ready to push the limits of your craft?"
you nod yes.
"You have much to learn" he tells you. "there has been.........." he pauses. "upgrades"
"Head off to the planet Mustafarr and brings me these items, so that you can truely learn the art of the armorsmith"

Some great ideas Skinny ... which leaves me little hope of ever seeing them in the game. 
One suggestion: you didn't quite catch the, er, um, attitude of that skanky RIS-quest hermit ... should be more along the lines of:
"Wah? Oh! It's YOU. I thought you left. Made any Mabari Belts lately? I doubt they could hold up a Kunga's waistwrap anyway ... so I guess you want me to teach you MORE stuff you don't have the wits to figure out on your own, eh?"
... or maybe I'm remembering him too fondly....

Its not a good idea to post all this stuff when a DEV or any SOE staff has said nothing on it.
