Now first off, let me say that I'm not really a fan of the Star Wars movies per se. As I drop that nasty bit of flamebait in your lap, let me say it's because it's so empty as opposed to other science fiction franchises I enjoy. The scope of background to draw from and the mythos in it's size and complexity is a far cry from that established for Babylon 5, Stargate, Doctor Who or Star Trek.

According to an interview with Electronic Arts president John Riccitiello, BioWare and LucasArts have teamed up for a Knights of the Old Republic MMO aimed exclusively at the PC market. A market EA analysts expect to grow from 33% currently to 50% of the total gaming marketshare by 2011.
"Increasingly, people are going to be talking about direct-to-customer in our business," said Riccitiello. "I think we'll be talking about it louder than most."

I just hope they include a single player game as well. Robbing us of KOTOR III is just cruel, making it online only, well that would be just bloody sadistic.
