Some of you seem to be unfamiliar with this upcoming game. Shame on you! SWTOR is an upcoming MMO by Bioware that will be very similar to the KOTOR games, only you play with thousands of other players.

It's an MMO that isn't Guild Wars, so it will either be $15/month subscription fee (plus the price of the game), or it will have an in-game item store for micro-transactions. I'm hoping it's $15/month, because that typically makes the game higher quality and keeps out.. well, people who aren't very committed to the game . I'd be afraid of what a micro-transaction scheme would do to the balance of the game. But Bioware is developing it, and they always seem to come through, so I have high hopes for this game. Been looking for something to replace SWG for about 5 years now.
Good MMO's are always the best games for having a social community. Star Wars MMOs make it that much better.

I paid $15/month for Star Wars Galaxies for 2.5 years, and it was the best money I've ever spent. I would gladly pay 3x as much to get to have those experiences again.

I played as a lot of professions, but mostly Rifleman, Teräs Käsi, and Jedi. I did have a Bounty Hunter on another server that hunted Jedi, and also after I unlocked Jedi on my main character, as I was training the Combat Upgrade hit which introduced the ability Force Cloak which made you invisible, and so I got the Investigation line of Bounty Hunter and was a Jedi Assassin, it was like this:
Force Cloak, Force Lightning from Jedi Teräs Käsi Master for most of my fighting Bounty Hunter skills to allow me to pick up missions to kill Imperial player Jedi
So I would use probe droids to track the Dark Jedi player, follow them cloaked until they were vulnerable, kill them most of the way with Teräs Käsi, then electrocute them to death with Force Lightning as they tried to run away.
But full Jedi was most fun. I played in a group of 2 other Rebel Jedi. Together we were known as the Jedi Ninja Squad. We came up with a build that other people hadn't thought of that allowed us to use Force Cloak, have strong saber skills, strong defense, the fastest Force Run ability, the ability to put people in Stasis so they couldn't fight, and strong healing. It was the most balanced build possible. In large PvP battles, our guild would send us to assassinate specific high-priority targets or stragglers who were trying to run to recover. We would find a target, get close to him/her, and each of us had a different opening skill we used: one person would root them (so they can't move), the other would break their armor for 50% more subsequent damage, and the other would knock them down so they can't attack and took more damage. All three of us would follow up our opening skill with a slow to build-up but powerful saber attack uppercut, which killed most people in a total of about 2-3 seconds, immediately after which we would death blow them and cloak, scatter, and move on to the next target. We were so hated among the Empire that people were trying to find technicalities in our use of profanity so that they could report us and get us banned.
It was awesome.

i think this is definatly before kotor. that could be darth malak, it would show how he got a bloodied mouth, the girl could be bastina, she always favoured double lightsabers.
