Why a remake?

Star Wars is one of the most flexible franchises ever. Combined with the Wookieepedia it's easy to write new stories using other ones as fundament.

Take the saber gameplay of JKA, add some level of realism (but in a way the classic gameplay is kept) to the animations. Take the weapon play from Battlefield (Battlefront?) and crush that in an more open world RPG setting.

Instead of placing the player in a role where he's the hero of the game, give the opportunity to do whatever he/she wants. Becoming Jedi/Sith is a long road, you'll learn how to use your lightsaber (in a way you can also fight in multiplayer), but you start lightsaber training when your character is mentally ready. Jedis are lead by Luke and Kyle, both old farts. Sith are leading themselves as worshippers of the dark side, in extreme secrecy.
Become a smuggler, and explore the most famous traderoutes like the Kessel Run. :P
The underlying story? Things are happening all over the galaxy. Remnants of the empire are scattered all across the galaxy, people still join the ranks of the Stormtroopers because it's good money. The alliance tries to stop that and spreads the stories about Darth Vader and Sidious, the remnant counteracts that with propaganda. A constant battle in which you battle stormtroopers, rebels, and the further your character progresses Jedi or Sith.
Combine that with mod support for races, planets, ships, weapons and there ya go. ;)

It was meant to be pretty much like what @@Vulcan described. The only reason that there was only PvP was because that's as much that could be done. There was far too much work.

Not PvP, p2p - as in "pay to play" - many people don't wanna pay for MMORPGs, not matter how good they are, hence a loss of many potential modders (though not too many, but since it was an online game, many more didn't wanna play it to begin with).

They're trying to do it with TOR now - giving players the possibility to design gear, apartments (wut?), spaceship/ character skins...At least, I think they do...But again, it's an MMORPG (many people hate those), and you only get to have anything good if you're a full-time paying member (which is a huge rip-off by the way), not to mention that TOR is really lame and its class system is also messed up (cannon-wise).

Actually, what the Alliance is doing is also propaganda, only difference is that since the Alliance won the war (and as we know - History's written by the victor), so 'officially' it's not propaganda.

Yeah, the one that nobody played because it never got finished.

 

Not mean to derail the whole topic, but in my opinion what scared off so many players was that the first released version was riddled with bugs. The "unfinished" part did the rest.
