Star Wars: The Old Republic, abbreviated TOR, is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game set in the Old Republic era, and is currently under development by BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts. The game was first officially announced in an October 30, 2007 press release, though details were vague. On October 21, 2008, the title of the game was revealed, in addition to a fair amount of detail about the game in a press conference. A novel, released around the same time as the game, will cover the story behind it.

Check out the first issue of the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ online comic, Threat of Peace™. Dark Horse has joined forces with LucasArts and BioWare™ to create a new comic series, published online, to introduce fans to The Old Republic. The comic features action-packed, character-driven episodes written by BioWare’s Rob Chestney and published by Dark Horse.
War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire has gripped the galaxy for decades, but the sacking of Coruscant and a subsequent peace treaty are changing everything. As the Republic scrambles to re-establish order, the Sith Empire moves quickly to consolidate power within its new dominion. Behind closed doors, however, individual Sith Lords engage in a quiet but deadly power struggle, and discord breaks out among the Jedi as they wrestle with the moral implications of the new galactic balance. During these chaotic days, the stories of several critical characters interweave as they pursue their passions, stand up for their convictions, and ultimately lead the galaxy back to the brink of a catastrophic conflict.
Issues of the comic will be released twice a month. Stay tuned and follow the storyline to its dramatic conclusion which sets the stage for the players’ entrance into the game. Read the first issue of Threat of Peace now!

Anyone know if the game has a Single Player mode. Not like an entire storyline, but you can play the MMO part minus the MMO people. I heard about this feature but haven't seen a source though.
MMORPG means something to you?
Like wow you only play with lots of other people around, but that don't mean you need to play toguether with someone if you don't whant.
Each class has it's own storyline and that story can be completed all alone, yes. Bioware calculates something like 200h per class-story. And after that there's going to be group-quests etc.
I think you need to pay the same as someone who uses the MMO part. But nothing has been said about this yet.
will it be Free to play?
NO!
This will be an epic game, epic games you pay to play. =)
why would this be free to play anyway?
This really looks like an awesome game although I'm not a real Star Wars fan. Can't wait.
and i hope its free to play
It will not be free to play. ¬¬
well i hope this comes out soon
