We've all been anxiously following the development of the highly-anticipated Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO from BioWare. From what we've seen so far, this looks to be an exciting addition to the Star Wars MMO genre.

Now it appears that SWTOR might have some company in that regard.

According to an article on 1UP.com, consumer electronics heavyweight Sony might be diving back into the Star Wars MMO pool with a new game based on the hit TV series, The Clone Wars.

See the excerpt below:

"With BioWare hard at work on Star Wars: The Old Republic, it seemed as if Sony's history with Star Wars MMOs would be just that -- history. But now according to a rumor floated by Ten Ton Hammer (via Shacknews), it looks like Sony Online Entertainment might not end with Star Wars Galaxies. An "insider source" says SOE is preparing to build a new casual-centric Star Wars MMO, most likely based on the Clone Wars animated series."

Obviously this is only a rumor at this time, as no official confirmation (or denial) has come down from Sony regarding this project. And it goes without saying that we will keep you updated on the status of this rumor as more information becomes available.

Stay tuned...
