The article detailing the expansion:

"This May George Lucas will release the sixth film in his Star Wars series, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. That same month, players of Star Wars Galaxies will be able to download a massive expansion pack that adds some of the content from the movie to the popular online roleplaying world. "

Thunderhearts announcement

"We will be making an announcement very soon about the upcoming Star Wars Galaxies expansion pack. As work has developed side by side with the Combat Upgrade and this to-be-announced expansion, we have decided to run one beta test for both products simultaneously."

Basically....Dont look for the CU until May. Or later.
Personally, I am not quite sure what to make of this. I am so shell shocked by this I honestly dont know what to say. I am honestly, speechless.
I'm still waiting to hear more before I start ranting...err...discussing things calmly...
One way to think of this is, if the CU is slated to go live with the Expansion, that means it has to be fully tested and packaged before then, which makes me think that testing will HAVE TO start incredibly soon...I always expected testing(sandbox to TC to live) to take 2 to 3 months and 3 months from now IS May...So maybe this is a sign that testing will be openning sooner then some folks are thinking...

Oops, stand corrected, and you are Iron-Monkey, sorry for that as well.
eh, Iron-Monkey, Iron-Wookiee, Iron-Fluffy, doesn't matter, just don't leave off the extra E in Wookiee. 
"For every E you leave off in Wookiee, I shall kill you!"
Okay, lame Family Guy reference, but hey it's all good.

Any chance we'll be able to harvest hides from the wookiees? I have need for a new rug...
Ha ha, haven't heard that one in at least two threads...
I haven't head about that addition, but from what I hear, the new "wookiee being set on fire" dance animation is pretty cool...

Ewwww, you know how bad that is going to smell!
But, having just reached master commando myself, I found myself drawn to 'Republic Commando' and am now so enamored of the Clone Commando's that I wish we could get a few bits and pieces of ARC trooper gear. It would be designed to look battered and old and worn, like Boba's helm, with a description that describes it as "A worn out remnant of a war and a time that had passed, when the word 'commando' was feared by all enemies of the Republic". Perhaps as a quest loot, something only master commando's can wear, like Mando armor only hopefully much easier to obtain
Past that, the episode 3 stuff doesn't bother me *too* much, as much as the illogical use of it. I can be content with Sepperatist droids still being used by a few organizations. But Darth Vader would have had a heck of a time in episode IV if he he aggroed a Super Battle Droid while choking captain Antilles on the rebel corvette...
