More on Ten Ton Hammer

As a surprise ending to E3 2008, BioWare announced that they are developing a new MMORPG possibly based on the bestselling Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic franchise. The Star Wars: The Old Republic storyline takes place around 3,600 years before the setting of the original Star Wars: A New Hope movie.

From the official site:

Play Star Wars: The Old Republic and forge your own Star Wars saga in a story-driven massively-multiplayer online game from BioWare and LucasArts. Explore an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader when war between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire divides the galaxy.

Choose to be a Jedi, a Sith, or from a variety of other classic Star Wars roles, and make decisions which define your personal story and determine your path down the light or dark side of the Force. Along the way you will befriend courageous companions who will fight at your side or possibly betray you based on your actions. Together, you will battle enemies in dynamic Star Wars combat and team up with other players to overcome incredible challenges.
