The latest of such incidents: Ten Ton Hammer has learned from an inside source that Sony Online Entertainment has once again partnered up with LucasArts to do another Star Wars MMO. While we have not yet learned the title of the upcoming game, it sounds like SOE is planning to use the browser-based Free Realms engine to power the game, and the game’s setting will be the Clone Wars. Does this mean Star Wars mini-games within the game, like the holographic chess-like game as seen in A New Hope? Unknown, but it would be cool to hit up a cantina with some buds and sit down for a few mini games. I call Bull Shit on this one. Thoughts? Loading... A New Star Wars MMO?

With the way the franchise went from Episode 1 and Jar-Jar, to the new all animated film it doesn't seem all too improbable to me, LucasArts appear to me to be targeting a younger audience even to the exclusion of their more mature fan base.
Plus being targeted to a younger audience it doesn't conflict with KOTOR, so I vote this one plausible with the only doubt being that SOE haven't got the spare developers to work on it.
