It's always unreasonable to assume that anything will be more successful than WoW. Besides, it's not like this is the first Star Wars MMO. :\

and the sad part is that galaxies was (and still is) much more entertaining then WoW ever was rofl. at least for me
eh, the same people who are surprised that WOW is still the most popular MMO out there are the same people who are surprised that The Sims is the best selling PC franchise in history. Coincidently, I've always felt the reason WoW did so well is because it caters to the interest of the same market that likes The Sims. or maybe, I've never liked The Sims or Wow, so I put them together? I can do that, right?
tl;dnr: WoW = The Sims.

I completely agree, even though I'm biased b/c SWG was my first real investment in an MMO. Launch - End of CU was and still remains the best MMO experience I've ever had.
WoW did well because it already had a rabid warcraft fanbase thanks to the RTS games. Couple that with a very smooth and immersible gameplay experience and a ton of lore behind it. Blizzard merely expanded the fanbase by entering a game, that was easy to learn how to play, into a genre whose community was multiplying exponentially.
Love it or hate it, Blizzard played it's cards right and had the game and loyal fanbase to back it up.

If it makes you feel better, and if it was anything like my TOR beta experience, he'll be testing only for a few days. :\
That does make me feel better. Maybe our friendship can still be saved.

SOOOOO STUPID! Put it on Steam! RAGE AT EA!
Because of the loyal fan base to star wars I think that TOR is going be a very popular game. Especially with how much effort they are putting into it.

The loyal fan base to Star Wars only guarantees that it will sell. Keeping subs up in the coming months post-launch will be all up to Bioware. But as it's been said before, it's not like this is the first Star Wars MMO ever.
I'm still skeptical in their ability to translate their success from SP games over to the massively multiplayer platform; but those reservations are mostly based off the type of game it's going to be and the very limited amount of time I got to play it.
What I'm mostly concerned about when it comes to TOR is the endgame experience. I've heard about and seen some of the flashpoint content and read about world PvP and PvP battlegrounds; but other than that, it seems like re-rolling is the way to go as far as Bioware is concerned. That could be a big problem for a large amount of people that don't bother to play anymore than one main character. This is one place where they could lose a lot of subscriptions if they rely too heavily on wanting people to re-roll alts to access the different class storylines.
I've already made my peace with space in TOR and although I'm very disappointed with the path they've taken, I'll just learn to accept it and not worry about it.
The game will probably be very good, it'll have it's flaws just like SWG did and I know there will be something in it that I'll enjoy. But, I have serious doubts about whether or not Bioware can keep me interested in The Old Republic for a long period of time.

This. In all honesty, from what i've seen so far..... This MMO is all about story NOT combat. They keep saying the combat is reformed and all but it looks just like the old combat system in any old MMO. Talking about COMBAT........ Guild Wars 2 looks like it's gonna be THE MMO to break through that old crappy combat system and bring something new to the table. Time will tell i guess..
I for one, will buy the game because i have NOT played Starwars Galaxies but i am a fan of starwars none the less and have enjoyed the Kotor series so far!
