I didn't notice anything in the forums about this recently, but bioware's new Star Wars MMO is slated to be released sometime this year in 2011.

I like how they are handling dialogue choices if you are in a group. That was the one thing I was concerned with. I thought this game would be mostly a single player questing experiencing, with the dialogue choices made by group leader. But, they are using a roll system. I like the way they described it, saying it is similar to pen and paper RPGs where you might have a friend roll playing an asshole character and decides to be a jerk by killing an NPC.

Yeah, its pretty cool how you can still get light side points for your own personal decision. So you could potentially partner up with someone on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, role playing-wise and there would still be little conflict in the ability to play together. It was kind of funny to watch that conversation though, how the girl's responses were so caring, like "You will not die today." And then suddenly the darth maul dude just whacks him with the light saber. Haha.

It's a full timeline of the Star Wars Lore, via storybook style FMV on the official SW:TOR website. I can't embedd it, because it's a sliding timescale and each timeframe shows a different FMV. I will provide the link instead. It's definately worth the watch if you're not familiar with the non-movie star wars lore.
