"A world which has to create its own justice is a world without hope."

There's so many details about how, when, why, and what went wrong with SWG pre-CU etc.   Anyone know of any documetaries or books that has it all in detail?

There's been so many rumors and drama, it deserves it's own lore book, probably even surpassing the original star wars lore. 

Anyone got cliff notes?

Wikipedia has a fairly concise summary, including controversies.  It leaves out a lot of the behind the scenes details.  One player's perspective on what went wrong can be found at this link: http://www.soesucks.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=10

My views on one major problem related to the game (with numerous examples) can be found here: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/181864/page/1

The lead designers rant about the NGE can be found here: http://www.soesucks.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=402 post number 4. (warning this one has content that many find offensive)

And another developer's disclosures about the NGE can be found here: http://www.soesucks.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=402 post number 8.

That should give you a picture of how and why things went to hell, from various points of view.
