BioWare Not Developing Star Wars MMORPG?

[GameBanshee News]

Industry blogger Surfer Girl is claiming that LucasArts will be launching a new Star Wars MMORPG next year, but it isn't being developed by BioWare or SOE.

Next year's Star Wars MMO, not being developed by BioWare or Sony Online Entertainment, will launch simultaneously for PC and consoles alongside the debut of the first Star Wars TV series in fall 2009, of which the storylines of the game will tie into. Those Artistic Lucases already have a second online title planned that I've heard has nothing to do with Star Wars.

Obviously this should be filed under "unconfirmed" at this point, but keep in mind that a vast majority of Surfer Girl's claims typically wind up being fact.

So, who is developing the Star Wars MMO then?

Most sites I've seen suggest that BioWare is working on the Knights of the Old Republic multiplayer online game.
