LucasArts and BioWare today announced that the first video documentary for Star Wars: The Old Republic is now available. You can see it here.  The video gives an overview of the upcoming story-driven massively multiplayer online PC game set in the timeframe of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic franchise and provides the public with its first look at in-game footage.

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, players will explore an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader when war between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire divides the galaxy.  Players can choose to play as Jedi, Sith, or a variety of other classic Star Wars roles, defining their personal story and determining their path down the light or dark side of the Force.  Along the way, players will befriend courageous companions who will fight at their side or possibly betray them, based on the players’ actions.  Players can also choose to team up with friends to battle enemies and overcome incredible challenges using dynamic Star Wars combat.
