Star Wars MMO, round two! LucasArts managed to completely destroy any redeeming concept that a MMORPG held in the Star Wars universe, with help from Sony Online Entertainment. Forget Star Wars Galaxies because a new Star Wars MMO has been announced and it’s going to take place in the time frame of Star Wars: The Knights Of The Old Republic.

I didn’t know that different time frames require seperate liscensing for the same series or is this just a way to pretend like Star Wars Galaxies never happened? With the length of the Star Wars time line, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next three MMOs LucasArts announces are each individually based on the time line of the new Star Wars films that no one enjoys watching. Until I play the beta for Star Wars: The Old Republic, I’m slapping the “suck stick” on it. With everything LucasArts has been doing with this franchise, I feel my opinion is justified.

Are you one of the stereotypical suckers sitting in an Apple line right now? Are you praying to the baby Jeebus every day that Apple will sell you an iPhone 3G? Most likely. Good news for you, though. Apple
will be opening its stores at 8:00 AM Monday through Saturday in an effort to help ease lines for the iPhone 3G. Awaiting customers will also be pre-screened and if you’re eligible, you’ll be given a ticket for an iPhone 3G which you can pick up anytime before 6:00 PM.

It’s like winning the lottery except you can’t buy anything cool. Just an iPhone 3G.

We already liveblogged the launch today, so be sure to take the time to check out pics of the madness from this morning. A line that wraps around an entire New York square block? Insane!
