SWG Timeline Moves Forward

Rumours have been working their way through the Star Wars Galaxies boards about the possibility that the timelines of events will be moved forward past the current "post-New Hope, pre-Empire" point. Darniaq writes on this possibility, and links to a post on the boards where the Community Manager confirms this development. Unfortunately, the posts have already been removed. Fortunately, an individual at Sony Online Entertainment was able to confirm with LucasArts that there are plans to make this change to the game. Here's hoping the timeline change will be a breath of fresh air for the beleaguered game.
