With E3 2011 upon us, Bioware has decided to grab some headlines with a new cinematic trailer titled "Return" for their upcoming Star Wars MMO, "Star Wars: The Old Republic". The footage has fans buzzing and depicts the return of the Sith in their attempt to recapture their ancient homeworld of Korriban. The video depicts many of the different classes of characters in the game, including troopers, smugglers, Jedi Masters and Sith Assassins to name a few.

Here's a blurb from the official SW:TOR website:

"For over a thousand years, the Sith were thought to be extinct after a grave defeat in an ancient war. But a select few survived, fleeing to unknown regions to escape Republic forces. In the centuries since, the Sith have prepared; rebuilding their Empire for the day they would make their return to reclaim what was once theirs and take their revenge on the Republic.

That day has arrived."
