Star Wars: The Old Republic MMOG in the works


>Concept art from swtor.com
If you thought it wasn't possible that George , the self proclaimed "Flesh Saber," Lucas could not milk the Ole' SW anymore, heeeere's another MMO video game vying for your consumer dollar. 'The Old Republic' is to take place thousands of years, or something, before the birth of your boy Vader. The ingredients in this game recipe are much of the same stuff found in most MMO's. Guilds or sects questing and looting or some such minutia. Accept here, your friends at Lucas Arts, stick lighty swords that make funny sounds in it, and slap the Star Wars ™ on the packaging, and wait for the cosplay geeks to offer up their Visa cards in record numbers.

Oh, but wait. BioWare has the reigns on this philly. I hear BioWare and think about how unbelievably good Knights of the Old Republic was.....and more recently of course, the new classic 'Mass Effect.' Ok, the hate stops for now,.....for now.

Yeah, that thing about George Lucas calling himself Flesh Saber is not true, so far as I know....and by, so far as I know, I mean I made it up. Oh, how I wish it wish it were true. Hmph, it makes me giggle.
