They can't. Lucasarts won't allow it. With LucasArts being the driving force behind the NGE, SOE doesn't have a choice.
Why do you think StarWars games suck so much? It's because LucasArts thinks that they know better. They are an IP owner and to be honest, they need to let the developer handle their part.
This scenario with TOR _should_ be different because TOR is part of the expanded universe, they are less stringent with expanded universe content. They actually let developers and authors do what they do best...CREATE.
