Eh, can't say I'm all that hyped. For one, no clone or storm troopers which is my favorite aspect of Star Wars. Two, you just know every single player is probably going to be forced into playing a force sensitive. And three, I think BioWare is probably the worst company out there in regards to MMOs. All of their games are just single player story telling campaigns that force you through mostly linear content (yes, I've played Mass Effect).

In other articles they've continually stressed this story telling aspect so at this point I'm pretty positive any chance for a sandbox has evaporated. They haven't mentioned it yet but I fully expect levels, classes, and instances which are all teh suk.

I will most certainly give it a go. (If Earthrise tanks, or isn't released or something) If it stays true to the KOTR universe you ought to be able to play various races, and be force sensitive, it will be their "magic" component. Having droids will be fun, and I bet there's going to be a hero system ala guild wars.
