I loved the SW prequels, and specially "Revenge of the Sith", very good movie... there are not that many good Sci-Fi movies in the last decade.

Sorry, but I base the fact that I like a movie or not only on my own opinion, not attention whores on Internet blogs.
But if you need such reviews to make up your own opinion, more power to you!

Stung a bit, are you? LOL.
It's perfectly valid to like the Star Wars prequels. Just like it's perfectly valid to like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. Actually, I'm not sure which shows less taste and appreciation for actual quality between the three, but there you have it.

Thanks, but it's been fun

Here's a less than flattering review:

Fixed link. Also lends support to the claims that this is less a mmorpg and more a pve version of guildwars, a single group rpg with a graphical group forming interface. Developers have lost sight of what the first m in mmorpg can mean.
Given there are very few developers with the money to make a quality mmorpg, this is disappointing.

I think Bioware is a one trick pony. They make interactive movie RPGs very well, and it seems like they attempting to do the same thing for a multiplayer environment, but call it a MMO.

Stung a bit to hear that someone actually liked the movie as a movie?
On Topic:
SW:TOR just doesn't grab me. I don't really care to play an MMO that seems to use story as its main selling point. I love a good story, but with an MMO I'm in it for the gameplay. What happens when you max out your character, does the story just up and stop until the next patch three months down the line? I can't feel attached to a story about my character if it's the same as the next persons, aside from a simple dialog option. It's going to have to really define a character on an individual basis for me to care about it.
We already have enough MMO's out there stagnating the genre, which do nothing to drive the genre forward and this doesn't seem to show any sign of trying either. Outside of voiceovers, I haven't seen them announce anything out of the box that is worth mentioning or eyebrow raising.
I'm sure it will be decent from a production value, but just another WoWclone or WoW in space.

It has the potential to turn a corner, so to speak. Having a classic strong story telling experience Bioware is known for. My favorite game of all time was Mass Effect 2. My second favorite was Baldur's Gate (et al). All for reasons that were, at their respective times, unique to Bioware games.
I'm afraid, however, that SW:TOR has been tainted too much by ex Mythic developers. So I am cautiously optimistic about it. To the extreme.

My guess is, will be like Korrigan, 3 months or so and then come back from time to time. But I don't really any sub games for many months in a row any more.
I expect I will like it, I'm not sure if it will have the big open world feel of a MMORPG but I'm hoping.
I am not inspired by any involvement from EA or Mythic, i'll put it that way.  And I would take more from DAoC than I would Warhammer personally.

It'll be a niche game, IMO.
