Star Wars Done Right

If I may echo a sentiment that's sweeping across the internet, this is the correct way to do a Star Wars prequel. (Watch it after the jump, because the effing video auto-plays.)

That's the trailer for BioWare's upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic. The company's previous Knights of the Old Republic RPG was a fantastic expansion of George Lucas' universe, and "The Doctors" up north are doing story-driven video games as well as anyone in the world right now, so my hopes are high. I never did get hooked on World of Warcraft - could this be the game that finally pulls me into the massively multiplayer thing? One thing's for sure: this trailer tweaks my long-desensitized Star Wars nostalgia nipples is super cool.
