Well, it is not Lucas Arts running this circus anyhow ?
LucasArts has laid off all internal development teams not too long ago. They only have PR, marketing and licencing staff plus a few Producers (as Haden Blackman is/was for SWG) who supervise development and give thumbs up/down on proposals brought to them by the development leads. LucasArts is fully concentrating all its efforts on licencing and cooperation with LucasFilms. I would personally say that's a good thing because LucasArts themselves have never really produced any HQ titles when they were still developing stuff in-house (some of the adventures might have been OK-ish but I don't play adventures so that's based on hear-say and the positive reviews some of the older adventures like Sam & Max, Full Throttle etc have received).
Dark forces, DF 2, Jedi accademy, X-wing, X-wing vs Tie fighter, X-wing alliance, SW Battlefront and it's new incarnation.... LucasArts does SW best..... goes without saying I guess, sure they don't have any mmorpg pedigree but god I'd love to see them have a shot at it..

Yes but most of those titles have not been*developed* by LucasArts. Developer of most (or all?)X-wing games was Totally Games. Developer of the first person action titles... DF and DF2 was indeed Lucas (they had pretty crappy level design IMHO) while Jedi Academy was done by Raven. SW Battlefront was coded by the folks at Pandemic (as will SW BF II).
Ok, SWG2..... how about LucasArts farm it out to Blizzard

As long as there is a chance to get Jedi I think we would still see alot of Jedi around. If there were a SWG2 I dont want to see any player Jedi at all. The only Jedi we see should be really high end mobs, NPCs.
i'm already on the very brink of going to wow. If they brought back the old swg and i had left i'd come back for sure I would definately come back to a game like SWG II.
I feel the DEVS realize that they have made many mistakes which can't be undone now. (Jedi growth, Housing polutions etc)
what I would like in "SWG 2";
* less marketing oriented Publishes. (no more giving advantages to classes just because they have to grind longer so it brings in more money in the end -gamebreaking-)
* balanced, fair combat system
* bugs should be fixed asap
* no more lies to customers
* CSR system with people who separate the scammers from the real players who need help and actually helpt those people.
*better service. (downtimes, Publishes etc)
* what I would like best: EVE Online type-server system where every server is connected to each other so you can meet everyone and you have an actual 1 big Galaxy instead of 20 clone servers.

Well..
Would you come back for a new and improved SWG ?A game whereall the issues that drove you from this game were fixed...never to be seen again.
If you had a say in how things were done in the new game, how would you do it?
I have loved Star Wars since I was a kid, but SOE has really taken the thunder out of it for me. If there happens to be a SWG2, I will not be going to it unless SOE' logo is nowhere to be found.

I'd come back if they would just fix the current game and balance it.
Not sure why they would need to come out with a Second game, if they cannot fix this one chances are SWG2 would be just as messed up. The bottom line issue is that SoE keeps treating this game like it is EQ or WoW. This is not a Fantisy game, it is Sci Fi and one that is well defined.
Adding boring dungens (Nightsister caves, Geo Labs, DWB) is not Star Wars, the GCW is Star Wars and until they figure that out and stop creating and releasing poor product, nothing will change.
