I don't think space content is essential to a Star Wars game, as some of my favorite SW games have no space content at all. It would be cool to have a little space combat in the game, but it's not something that I'd miss. I'd hate if the game was delayed for it.
While I agree that it's not essential to a regular game, with an MMO I feel it would only add to the immersion of the game, thus causing me to nerd out for hours and hours on end until I come out looking like a mon calamari.
I personally can wait. I have plenty of trust in Bioware to make a good game. From there, I also trust they will expand upon this as they see fit. Space combat is tough to pull off.
Reform Totally Games with Lawrence Holland at the helm and let them create the space combat for TOR.
I would be behind that all the way.
But as for Bioware making space combat no thanks. As much as I love Bioware (they're my favorite dev) I'm keenly aware of their limitations. Space combat would be one of them.

Ever hear of the Death Star? I know it's a different era, but space battles were prime turning points in most of the films.
I would not even try this game without space combat. It isn't Star Wars without it.
Ah, the you must have missed out on several very cool Star Wars games. Too bad.
