In WoW the numbers seemed to favor the Alliance as well. I'm not sure, but if I remember right I think I saw numbers for both games which estimated an advantage for the "good" side for the most part. Funny thing with those polls I saw, however, was that in Europe it was the bad side with higher numbers.
Guess we'll see in like 2 years when the game comes out, heh. I just hope that the two sides can talk to each other, unlike in WoW. You would think they would be able to, considering they'll be mostly the same species.

Lets face it, dark side powers are just more fun/interesting than light side powers in a game setting imo. That was one of the reason's TFU went the dark side route. I'd just think that when the time comes alot more people will shift towards the Sith....but you're right, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I definitely hope you're right about between faction chat. It's really just isn't right to not be able to talk/bad mouth/grief a member of the opposite faction. That was definitely one of the defining factors (for me at least) that set SWG apart from WoW. In fact I thought it was normal at the time with SWG having been the only mmo I played. When I got to WoW it shocked me that you couldnt chat with the other faction.

idk, i guess there's really two sides to the table with this one. i'd say the evil side usually has more players especially the only reason i stayed rebel was cause there was always imps in cnet. for the most part though, it may be that the people who chose to be evil focus more on pvp where as the good side is everyone who just wants to play the game for what it is.

No, TFU focused totally on a dark side character. Blackman even said they didn't want to be restricted to the moral Jedi code blah blah blah and that it would give the player alot more freedom (not to mention being a lot more fun) to use the force in a destructive manner...and for once he was right.

"Warmaster, we think too often in terms of dualism: Jedi or Sith, light or dark, right or wrong. But there are three sides to this blade, not two, opposed and similar at the same time. The third edge is the Mandalorian."
Vergere, to Tsavong Lah.
Mandalorian wasn't listed as an option for my vote, so I abstained from voting.

....I'd have to disagree about the Mandalorian's being boring. They are stereotyped from what you see in the movies or have read about Boba Fett.
If you want a really get a spin on Mando culture which shows theres a lot going on beneath the surface you should read the Republic Commando trilogy by Karen Traviss. It's give you a whole new perspective on Mandalorian culture/society/traditions. They are certainly not the mindless merc/killers everyone makes them out to be....and they certainly aren't as predictable as you might think.
Wow....my geekness just exploded out of my head.

I say it's boring because we've seen it before, and numerous times. It's like regifting that old toaster, you put a different wrapping on the box but when you actually open it up it's still the same toaster.

Mandalorians have a better motivation for their actions than the Sith or Jedi do.
Jedi and Sith are all about who's evil, who's good, who's gonna rule the galaxy, yadda yadda yadda.
At least Mandalorians have a very detailed, family-oriented culture. Reading about them at home is like reading a Brady Bunch novel... with a lot of swearing and guns added in.
Mandalorians were major players during the Sith/Jedi wars in Old Republic times. It'd be folly to leave them out.
