Ill admit it, Im a Star Wars geek. I saw every movie in the theater on opening day (except the first one but saw it opening week) and played every one of the games I could get my hands on and this will be no different.

Years, not months.

It's been fairly well known that this was being worked on in Austin for several years now.

While I'm definitely excited about this since I loved the KotOR games, the art style is... hrm.

While I can appreciate the enthusiasm of others for this, it's not for me anymore. I'm unsure when Star Wars really lost it's nerd attraction for me, but as weird as it sounds, I'm sad to see it go.

George Lucas is a one hit wonder.

wow. when you put out your first screenshots on a new MMO project.. you'd better bring your fucking A game. Those droid ones are retarded. And the first time i looked at the kotaku page (yesterday), those were the ONLY shots. I think they realized how shitty they looked and decided to quickly cherry pick some rendered ones in there to make face later on.

I think they list them as Concept Art screen shots. But I agree totally. If you are looking to inspire folks to pick up yet another mmo it had better be freaking fantastic.
