For many rabidly overzealous loyal fans of massive multiplayer gaming, RPGs, or just a particular galaxy far, far away, news about Bioware’s upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, can’t come fast enough. While Bioware might not have much content to show off just yet, that hasnt’ stopped their PR team from compiling and releasing footage of the creation process and developer interviews in a series of behind-the-scenes video documentaries.

Over the weekend Bioware released the second installment in the series, which focuses on the company’s passion for story-telling. Executives and designers explain how narrative elements and setting can be used to create a more intimate experience rather than the more generic character development of the current and past generations of MMOs.

From the game’s website:

We are excited to release our second Video Documentary for Star Wars™: The Old Republic.

Set 300 years after the events of Star Wars™: Knights of the Old Republic™ and thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader, the setting of The Old Republic is a relatively unexplored timeframe in the Star Wars™ canon. This allows a significant amount of freedom to create an epic storyline that will allow players to make ethical decisions and become immersed in their personal Star Wars saga.

Watch as the LucasArts and BioWare teams reveal how Story and Setting will enhance the player experience.
