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!

Announcing a webcomic series for STAR WARS: The Old Republic entitled Threat of Peace
well i hope this comes out soon
Ditto
Reminds me to much of World of Warcraft... hope it is improved some... but I still want to get it! I am a huge SW fan and it looks awesome atm! Keep it up!!!
I highly doubt that it will be free to play people. I know that it sucks to pay but there have been alot of hints on the website forums that it'll be pay to play.
Sounds cool
;tracked;
I hope itll be like SWG BEFORE (AGAINLY BEFORE) Combat Upgrade (Heh it was more like Combat DOWNGRADE) and hopefully it will have better atmosphere than SWG (more star wars, more colorfull)
I hope it WON'T. SWG was a terrible game...
IM GETTING THIS DAMN GAME IM BIG STARWARS FAN AND IM SO HAPPY THAT SOMETHING BETTER THAN GALAXIES IS COMING OUT!!
agree (hopefully itll be without SOE those ftards)
I was hoping more for a singleplayer game with co-op as an option, but maybe I'll enjoy the free-roam theme in this. I liked Galaxies kinda, just not enough to pay for it. Let's hope that this is different.
I hope/prey/wish this can be even as good, or better than SWG was back in the day.
