Had my interest, but lost a bit when I saw the Sony logo. Last Star Wars thing I remember they had was Star Ward Galaxies which they burnt into the ground. I'll wait and see since this was just a teaser.
Its more of a funding issue than a quality of product issue.
Sony outbid Microsoft in negotiations of exclusivity. We should be thankful they're releasing it for PC as well but that's because the PC-market has exploded worldwide and cannot be ignored.
With Sony, they have more funding to make a Triple-A experience, although chances are it'll be a timed exclusive, probably.
Also, as far as guesses for a release date, the original KOTOR was released on July 15th, 2003. It'd be a nice homage if the remake was released on the 20th anniversary.
July 15th 2023.
Yeah, its a long ways off, but by then they'll be tens of millions more PS5s on the market and Aspr, who has no experience with independently developing Triple-A games, will have plenty of time to develop a worthy remake.
As for the 'Sony fucked up Star Wars Galaxy' point, the developer was unproven to make such a large-scale product in the first place, and that was well over 15+ years ago. The leadership at Sony has changed several times over since then. I'd say Aspr is the unknown factor here if they're capable of handling such a project.
For the past 20+ years they've ONLY developed ports of existing games to other consoles and IOS.

This will be their FIRST attempt at developing a Triple-A game from the ground up, and there's no way to tell if its going to be awesome or if its going to suck.
Edit - Timed PS5 Exclusivity before PC release.
