RIP LucasArts

Except given Disney's managment of Marvel shows that is about as likely to happen as I am of winning tonight's lottery. Actually, I might have a better chance of winning the lottery than that.

But good things come to those who wait.

Said like a true wise man.

Although I am also disappointed in LucasArts closing the internal development, it was inevitable. Though I do hope SW 1313 and First Assault do get published, I do look forward to the future of Disney/LucasFilm. I think the movies might be a hit, something to build upon.

My general fear, I hope that Disney doesn't focus solely on mobile gaming. Although I myself have iOS devices and an Android smartphone, I still would love to play PC games or console games (if I ever buy an Xbox or PS3/4). Sure mobile gaming is inevitable, but I would still prefer they had an open market for the PC gamer.

It's bad enough they took away SWBF3, and now they take away Star Wars 1313, the only other LA game I was looking forward to. Pathetic disney, pathetic...

This is Ltin, feeling many emotions when facing the fact that Starwars is "Doomed!"

And the joy of the games not being dead yet

Well this sucks.

Time will tell if this was good or bad.

Who killed SWBF3--wasn't it the LucasArts management?  Maybe with them out of the way, the franchise can move forward.

(Hopefully the bad management got the axe too, and not just the staff.

Well this sucks.

Hehe lol in the fewest words possible yes... Yes it does!

I look at this in a positive and negative light.

Positive: LucasArts didn't create great games on their own. Outside studios created them. They will make more Star Wars games. They will be both "serious" and "childish." I have to say that I have Angry Birds Star Wars and I think it's pretty fun! I would like another "serious" Star Wars game, but I also don't want them to all be serious. It's kind of hard to express my emotions, since I can live without Star Wars games. What I can't live about is Star Wars as a whole (movies, books whether they are chapter books or informative (Cross-Section, Year by Year etc. ). This is what really matters to me, and when I get older I won't be playing games, but I will be watching the movies and reading books.

And what Sereja said, can we modify the .exe now?


Negative: Does this mean that the new Star Wars games won't feel like Star Wars? Does this mean that we won't ever see any games that we want? Pretty much what you guys all said.
I feel like since the Disney Take-Over, all that has happened to Star Wars has been "canceling" Right? I mean they canceled The 3D prequels, 2 games that could have been successful, 2 TV shows, among other things.



Star Wars is a touchy subject for me (if you don't already know) so I won't go into the Disney Star Wars VS independent Star Wars franchise.
