GenCon posted last year that they'd move event registration up. So there was warning. The post on the GenCon forum is just speculation on behalf of a disgruntled person. No one at WoTC confirmed that.
We could just as easily speculate that the reason for the hold up is that WoTC is busy reworking something on 4th ed, repainting and fumigating their offices or the person responsible for the submission fried his/her computer and needs the GeekSquad to help locate lost data. 
Nah, I blame Grimlins. It just sounds funnier. Them or monkies.

Apparently asking WotC Customer Service (which, when you want an official reply is the correct place to go - the forums are a shot in the dark by comparion) gets you this: (from the LFR mailing list) Well I recieved an official email back from WotC that was different
than the ones i have been hearing here.
I qoute:
Here is a brief FAQ concerning your questions:
Q: Why are there no D&D or Wizards events on the schedule posted for
Gen Con at www.gencon.com?
A: Wizards had not submitted a schedule of events by the Gen Con
deadline. Since we hadn't submitted our own schedule, none of our
events are in the official Gen Con schedule at this time.
Q: Will Wizards attend Gen Con in 2008?
A: As you may be aware, Gen Con is currently in chapter 11
bankruptcy. Wizards' plans relative to Gen Con are dependent on the
course of proceedings in US bankruptcy court. While we hope to
participate in Gen Con, we must await further proceedings in the
bankruptcy matter before we are able to confirm our plans.

Well, that sound like get signed up for other events and cancell them later if you can get RPGA stuff when posted. I am very interested in playing Star Wars Saga edition in the RPGA. However, I am going to just try and get my events normally and if I later can get RPGA so be it.
I guess there are legal issues, but it still seems to be that WotC should be doing something or decide to come to Origins this year.
Thanks,

Even once they get the RPGA stuff listed for GenCon, I'm not sure that there'll be any Star Wars Saga there. Last year, they had a special preview adventure for Dawn of Defiance at GenCon, but that was basically the first part of the first adventure. The length of the Dawn of Defiance adventures doesn't make them well-suited for con play.

Umm, they already are going to be at Origins, and have been all along. That's where the final Core adventures for LG, and the Xen'drik finale, are going to premiere.

That's the exact same post (complete with the misspelling of "I quote") that appeared on the GenCon forums on Friday. Which means we're still at documentation of one guy receiving that "official" word.

The Star Wars Designer, Rodney Thompson stated that he had just finished design of an RPGA adventure for Star Wars. It was a KotoR adventure and was for Gen Con since the Kotor book comes out there. So hopefully there will be something at Gen Con.

Really? I had not seen anything stating that. They are not listed as having a booth or being a sponsor. Or are you saying that the RPGA will be running stuff at Origins? That would make sense. Last year Wizards did not even have a booth at Origins, but I did some some RPGA stuff.
Gen Con moving to Indy has really hurt Origins sadly.

Got an email reminding me to register for KublaCon and talking about 4e events. After looking into the catalog I found this. I really hope that date is wrong. Or is this a hint that WotC has already decided about Gencon and has pushed back the campaign until the next DDXP? Living Forgotten Realms 4ed Preview!

The LFR admins have not been told of any change to the launch of LFR and we are busy writing the first wave of adventures.

I have no idea if WotC will have a booth in the Exhibit Hall, but RPGA HQ is going to Origins, and running a full slate of events. (I note this because, two years ago, RPGA HQ did *not* go to Origins, but they returned last year.)

Ya the end adventures for all the 3.5 campaigns will be at origins with the RPGA. they may not have a booth (not sure if they have even had one the last few years) but the RPGA will definitely be there.
