Star Wars: The Old Republic is a massively-multiplayer role-playing game set 300 years after the events of BioWare's Knights of the Old Republic series, but still approximately 3,600 years before the events of the films.
I wouldn't say its horrible, but its not worth any amount of money.
The story is shallow, characters look like that crap from the Cartoon Network prequel CG cartoon. The voice acting is atrocious....
The gameplay is no better than any other MMORPG out there.
All in all you'd be better off playing WoW. You'd spend less money to have the same amount of initial fun...(that is, you'll play free until level 20) and then either you'll find friends to help play through PvP arenas and dungeons, or realize you could be doing better things with your money and play something else.

BTW, thanks for the image spam, OP.
Have you even seen the last two seasons of The Clone Wars? The characters do not look like crap at all and look a hell of a lot better than TOR.
Staying on topic, I just dropped $15 for the game and $20 for a two month subscription. I look forward to trying it out when I get them in the mail.
I'm not gonna pay monthly for something I'd play singleplayer, and I'm not gonna pay for a month and then rush through the content to finish before time expires.
I really enjoyed SWTOR, but I'd honestly rather pay $60 for an open world coop RPG version of the game without sidequests and just the class storylines.
