The developers did Universe at war after doing Forces of Corruption, although I doubt they'll do an EAW2 for a while as they're going for an MMO, might be another developer perhaps?
Indeed. But I'd be so happy to see an RTS that features the Republic that isn't based in Phase I clones (Galactic Battlegrounds). Mods just don't quite do it for me. I prefer the more official channels of game creation.
