Here’s two teaser trailers worth watching today, firstly Star Wars: Clone Wars clip, showing a large battle between the Clone Troopers/Jedi vs. the Droid army:

Back in October 2007, I mentioned that a new Star Wars MMORPG was in the works.

Today, bit-tech wrote that a Knights of The Old Republic (KOTOR) MMO has been confirmed by Bioware!

This is what many Star Wars Galaxies fans (past and present) have been waiting for. Finally, the Star Wars universe will be conveyed in a decent MMORPG experience. Roll on beta/release…

Normally I’d mention this in the lounge, if at all. But after watching the trailer, I’m very impressed:

Star Wars: The Clone Wars theatrical trailer

Out towards the end of summer, I can see it being one of the bigger, if not the biggest films this year. And I can’t wait…

Great news! The developers behind KOTOR I and II are currently working on a new MMORPG, based on the KOTOR universe - Star Wars!

To say I’m looking forward to it would be an understatement. The article mentions Star Wars Galaxies, which proved to be popular in the first year or so, until a major update in 2005 (aka, Combat Upgrade). Now the game is estimated to have less than 20,000 active players. I remember Adamskii, Percy and I abandoning SWG just prior to the Publish 13 (if my memory serves me right) release.

The fact that Bioware are picking up the pieces and basing it on the KOTOR time frame, rather than that of the 2 trilogies is great. I look forward to what they’ll have to offer.

One last question - Adamskii, will you be signing up for the beta?
