Im not going into any details as I dont want any hints to my sources but here goes....
LA pulled the license from SOE. The rumors about February were dead right. SOE was allowed time to transition players (how much is unknown) to their other station pass games. Thats why they stopped selling SWG prepaid cards.
Publish 28, if it gets done will be the last publish to the game. There is a minimal support staff now working on it. Its purely cosmetic changes to keep existing players subscribing
Bioware did indeed gain rights to develop a second version of SWG. It wont be called SWG2. Its not a completely new game but rather a reworking of existing code. Bioware is currently hiring a large team to work on the game and prefer experience with SWG. Pre-cu is a plus
The focus groups information was handed basically directly to Bioware. Some of the questions, like a KOTOR experience were hints to you folks as to who was behind it.
My source or sources only stated what they know. They didnt speculate on how long development would take. No clue on the rumors if its tied into a television show. No clues on pre-cu, cu, etc. And finally, no clue on an announcement or what SOE will say about this.
I trust this source's info 100%. Believe what you will but it looks like SOE's tyranny is over
Oh and this seemingly was why SOE was staunchly against a rollback or server mergers. There was no point to it.

This is probably from the same article Itzena linked above. It was posted on my guild's message board a couple days ago.
It will be interesting to see what happens to anyone currently subscribed to SWG and if they get some type of compensation or keep some type of account with the new game.
