Jedi Knights revealed as latest class in Star Wars: The Old Republic

Well here's a shocker. Star Wars: The Old Republic, the upcoming MMO from BioWare, EA and LucasArts will have . . . Jedi Knights as a playable class. We have to admit that we didn't see that development coming a mile away. Ok, we did. In fact we think there would be an uproar if Jedi Knights were not in the game that would make the current Modern Warfare 2 debates look pale by comparison.

In any case the game's official web site now has the Jedi Knight listed as a playable class in the upcoming MMO and we suspect there will be lots of battles between that class and the previously announced Sith Warrior faction. There's still no release date for the game but many expect it might launch in late 2010.
