Anticipating Star Wars: The Old Republic By Finding Out What It Means To Be a True Fan

In the spirit of this anticipation praising post, I want to facilitate the anticipation practices of anyone out there who is impatiently waiting for “Star Wars: The Old Republic,” the upcoming (but very far off) MMO from LucasArts and Bioware. The demise of Free Radical has a few Star Wars fans depressed as some ex-Free Radical employees have been releasing concept art and footage from the canceled version of “Star Wars Battlefront III.” The game looked interesting and it is quite sad to see it fade away so quickly and easily.

Perhaps the PS3 owners out there would be happy to hear that but with the way ownership has been going around for this franchise, who knows what will happen.

Included with the PC Version is the Bring Down the Sky expansion pack: FOR FREE! The PC version may very well be the best option for experiencing this masterpiece.
