Star Wars Galaxies: Creature Handler

One of my first and most loved professions in Star Wars Galaxies was the Creature Handler.  In pre-game dream mode I never thought of being a Creature Handler at all.  Being able to tame and control pets didn’t seem to top my list of things to do in a Star Wars game.  I had dreams …
