It’s become hack to talk about the Star Wars prequels being horrible. With so much already said about the clumsy dialogue, wooden acting and just plain Lucas-Why-Should-I-Care-About-All-This-Stuff nature of them, who wants to hear about them again?
And then another trailer for the Bioware’s Star Wars MMO The Old Republic comes out and is so much more watchable than all those three film combined.
Video after the jump:
Is it because we don’t have any of Lucas’ incredibly impossible-to-read dialogue? Or is it just that five minutes of pure action is always preferable to an overly plotted film featuring space embargoes? Did we learn nothing from the first Clone Wars cartoons?
More info about the game also came out at E3: players will be able to have (and customize) their own ship, like every MMO it’ll feature gear progression and it looks like the game will have PVP battles. But none of that really matters.
All I care about is that I’ve never played an MMO, and I really want to suit up and be a Jedi in this thing.

Jedi hadoken ftw.
I so don’t want to like this game. Star Wars Galaxy was a pile of fail served in a bowl of sadness.
However, if SWTOR lets me recreate my force-sensitive Ewok Bounty Hunter from the PNP game, all will be forgiven.
The Force is what I call my style of love-making.
This looks pretty sweet but I’m not allowed on the computer at home anymore. It stems from me blaming the dog about the vast amounts of porn. I almost had the wife convinced at first, when all she saw was the rim job stuff. She didn’t think Fido was really that into bukkake though.
Drats! Foiled again.
On topic- Please please please make this for the 360!!!! KOTOR was the reason I bought an xbox in the first place.
Dormammu, I too, dined upon that faily sadness. I haven’t touched an MMO since SWG, but will probably spend a few months getting angry at this one.
This does look cool, and both the the previous KOTOR games were cool.
Too bad I have a strict “No MMOs” policy, though, so I definitely won’t be playing this. It’s just too much of a time investment to make. Especially for a game that basically has no end. It’s always seemed a bit like joining a cult to me. I’ve seen the eerie glazed over expressions of hardcore MMO-ers at work and school. They scare me.
