The hotly anticipated MMO <a href="http://www.swtor.com"><em>Star Wars: The Old Republic</em></a> <em>(SWTOR)</em> from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/bioware">BioWare</a> has only just been announced, but they've already given us a clear picture of the game's setting and <a href="http://www.swtor.com/info/story/setting">a bit of the lore as well.</a> From what we can tell, you won't need to be a die-hard fan of Star Wars to appreciate the title, which is good news as there's a daunting amount of Star Wars canon out there. That said, it'll certainly help to have at least some grounding in what's going on in <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/star-wars-the-old-republic/ ">Star Wars: The Old Republic.</a></em> To that end, Massively's put together a brief primer on the lore of <em>SWTOR.</em><br /><br />Who is this written for? People who've seen the films but may not necessarily have played <em>Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR)</em> on PC or console, and especially those who haven't read the novels or various comic book lines released over the years. Read on, and we'll introduce you to the backdrop and factions of <em>Star Wars: The Old Republic.</em><br /><br />
