so much wrong. first off, if it were set in movie time era, we would be regulated to faceless members of our respective faction. I got more than enough of that in WoW. Second, the mere thought of BW breaking movie lore would cause many more fans to be angry and quit playing than a movie era mmo would bring in. in short, they picked the perfect era, bc they could make the lore up and not fubar the movie/expanded universe lore and cause all the sw fanboys/girls to foam at the mouth
