I'm not saying anything one way or the other, but both KOTOR games were based on Wizards of the Coast's D20 RPG system, and the SWTOR folks have stated that they won't be using that system for SWTOR. The artwork and animations are undeniably related to the KOTOR games, and I'd imagine there will be many other similarities. But I don't expect the mechanics of the gameplay to reflect what we saw in the KOTOR games.
That having been said, I don't know why they wouldn't include unarmed fighting. I was going to say something cynical here, but I am purposefully keeping my hopes up for what BioWare has in store for us. I've never seen them screw up anything. Let's hope their Fourth Pillar strategy brings us the Star Wars game we've all been waiting for.
