Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG -- We were waiting for this?

Apparently there's some kind of announcement to be made that Lucasarts and Bioware are cooperating on a KOTOR MMPORG. I can't think of a greater waste of time. Hey Lucasarts, hire someone from Bioware to do level design and beta-test lame areas of gameplay in your next Star Wars title. Then give the guy who wrote The Force Unleashed story a massive raise.
