Not to rain on anyone's parade... but actually technology exists that would allow a blind person to play SWG fairly easily, especially for professions that don't move around (like an entertainer.) There are text to speach programs as well as speach to text programs that work fairly well. Integrating the text to speach might be a bit of a stretch for a game, but it works great in regular chat programs. (I know this since I have a very good friend who is blind.) It's still a funny story though

I have to wonder how text to speech would translate l337sp34k...
