I've been out of game for several months and just renewed my account. While it's downloading the Wookies patch I thought I would see what is new. I keep getting terms like "Respect" and "pre-CU" and stuff like that but I can't figure out what that means... I know "respect" is something Aretha sings about but what is the rest?

Thanks for your help!
