"BioWare announced today that their upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, will launch on December 20 in North America, and December 22 in Europe. They've released a new trailer for the game, and reiterated that they'll be throttling logins early on to prevent server instability.

Here's a new trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic featuring a fresh look at the Sith Warrior class in BioWare's epic MMO.

You'll also get a look at the planet Korriban, and some of the battle gameplay as the Sith Warriors clash with the Jedi.

We just hope there's more of the old Star Wars music in the game, and less of this new-age stuff.

You've got a while to wait before you get to 'choose your class' though - it won't be out before March 2011, and it's long development is part of what's making it the most expensive game EA's ever made.
