And now that I`ve seen the game for myself I have to say that it meets all my expectations:  
A polished yet unremarkable MMO experience that`s been done to death and I have no interest in repeating. 
 
- Graphics wise the game looks ok, it is not striking, but it`s perfectly fine.  

- I love the music and sound design in general. 
 
- A lot of fanboys out there have been pushing really hard the "this doesnt have the average MMO quest structure" line, but it does. Fetch 20 of these, kill 15 of that, find this boss, etc.
 
- Combat  is exactly what you would expect from a WoW clone, which confirms what I`ve feared for a long time. Bioware was not looking to innovate, but to improve (in extremely subtle ways) on an old formula that in my opinion needs to remain in the past. Although there is some degree of satisfaction to be had hurling junk at enemies, cutting them down with your lightsaber or shooting them down, the mechanics of "press 1, press 2, right click, stare at cooldowns, repeat" simply doesnt cut it anymore. 
 
- No gamepad support. I know many would jump at my throat for adding this to the list, but I think that if you are going to make me perform repetitive mindless tasks for countless hours you should at least provide a way for me to do so from a comfortable position. I am aware of the existence of xpadder, but there is a big difference between building an interface from the ground up to work with a controller and using software to trick the game into letting me play the way I want to. 
 
- Last but not least, something that bothers me more than I expected it would, can be express in the following way: 
"I have good news and bad news, good news is everyone gets to be a Jedi. Bad news is everyone gets to be a Jedi" 
I understand that nobody wants to shoot a crappy laser gun when they could destroy their enemies with the wave of a hand, but I kept thinking to myself that there was a time when being a Jedi was badass and cool and that time has past. 
 
All of the above is of course my personal opinion. GLHB!
