Then they'd better hope Starfighter proves the cost worth it  :P

QuoteI wonder what the George Lucas sequel trilogy would have looked like if chose to do that instead of his museum.

He has spoken on some of what his Sequel Trilogy would have entailed:

-A 14-year-old female was to be the lead character. Rey was the evolution of this idea. It would also have focused on the Skywalker grandchildren, who would be in their 20s.
-The New Republic tries to establish itself from the ashes of the Empire. The Empire's defeat left a vacuum - one that the crime syndicates are trying to fill. Remnants of the Empire would still exist as holdouts on certain planets but there would be no 'great rebirth' of it. George compared it to the aftermath of the Iraw War.
-The crime syndicates would have been led by an elderly Maul, who has taken an apprentice in Darth Talon.
-We were to learn of the Whills.
-Han and Leia's son would be enticed to the Dark Side by Darth Talon.
-Luke would exist in exile, having become bitter and in a dark state of mind. The female protagonist seeks him out and he eventually agrees to train her, slowly coming back to himself. He would also rebuild much of the Jedi Order by seeking out Order 66 surviviors, before dying in Episode IX. Some elements of this survived in Luke's arc in The Last Jedi.
-Leia would become Chancellor of the Republic by the end and would bring peace to the galaxy - this would also reveal that it was not Anakin who was the Chosen One, it was Leia.

Star Wars Episode X is to be written by Simon Kinberg of X-Men: The Last Stand, Fan4stic and Dark Phoenix fame, and directed by Jon Watts.

My question is...

Why?  :blink:

Started working on a 'space interior map pacl' for Elite Squadron too. This interior comes from SWBF3 Wii rather than Elite Squadron, as it looks much nicer. I've also done what Teancum has done with some of his interiors and put a version of the stock CIS interior up the other end to expand it.

Released Maps and Mods / Re: The Invisible Hand

A five-year bump, but a relevant one. As some of you will have seen, I decided to revisit this map and make some changes. The process is now finished and I am happy to share with you the new version of the map. You can download it on ModDB: https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-invisible-hand/addons/the-invisible-hand-version-2

Six years ago ( :o ) I released my first ever map, Naboo: Theed Supremacy. I was very happy with how it turned out at the time, but in far more recent times, I decided to revisit a few of my past projects and give them a little update. For Theed, this involved:

  • Fixing up barriers and AI planning.
  • Fixing up a few buildings.
  • Creating custom building 'bases'.
  • Adding props to make the map feel more like a lived-in city rather than a collection of buildings.
  • Creating custom sides inspired by DICE's SWBF2, using a similar ethos when compared to my DICE demake maps. As we are restricted to 5 classes, I chose to give each faction an aerial unit as their fifth unit.

The map is now in a place where I am very happy with it and am happy to release it.

As with several of my maps, I have decided to revisit and give this a bit more of a push.


I'm thinking that I'll bundle all these revamps together as a map pack.

I think it's more that this forum doesn't have much activity these days. I do get a lot more engagement on the GameToast server.

Clone Trooper is slightly adjusted from Republic Commando with parts from other games. Battle Droid is from SWBF3, Super Battle Droid is from Jedi Challenges, AT-TE is Gogie's AT-TE. Wookie Warrior, TIE Bomber (and TIE Fighter, not shown here) are from TFU. TIE Pilot and Rebel Pilot are from SWBF3.

Been a while, hasn't it? The reason I'm bumping this is I've started working on an 'evolution' of this. In the past couple of months, Dark_Pahtnom has cracked being able to have more high-res units on the field without flipping to lowres. As a result, I've decided to overhaul this one for a bit of fun. It's very WIP right now as I'm still choosing what I would like to update with, but here's a few screenshots.

All models are higher poly than stock, but not DICE-levels - I'm aiming between 4K tris and 6K tris as a ballpark for units. Vehicles are allowed to be higher.

Second post will show some of the Clone Wars shots plus Wookie Warrior and new Rebel Pilot.

Huge props to Shaymin and Surestsafe for getting matchmaking working, now we know how Star Wars: First Assault would have played. It's very Call of Duty-inspired, which would have marked a stark change in direction had the original plan for this to be the 'first step' to Star Wars Battlefront III come to pass.


Star Wars: First Assault was an internally-developed online multiplayer FPS in the same vein as Call of Duty. It was restricted to Galactic Civil War and featured 8v8 infantry combat that encouraged players to form squads rather than going it alone. LucasArts was to release this via the XBox Live Arcade in Spring 2013, with the game planned to be announced in late 2012. The tech demo is all that has leaked out, and it consists of a single map and incomplete weapons (no E-11 at this stage), however the final game would have had more weapons, as well as maps across Tatooine, Bespin, a Star Destroyer interior, and Kashyyyk. It was content-complete and practically ready to go. It was the first step in LucasArts' three-step plan to Battlefront III - the next game would have included vehicles and Jedi Heroes, and Battlefront III would have added space battles and a campaign. However, First Assault's announcement was cancelled after Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012. It was be cancelled altogehter when Disney closed down LucasArts.

EDIT PC Gamer has an article too: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/modder-behind-cancelled-star-wars-games-unofficial-revival-has-no-concern-at-all-about-disney-reprisal-we-pose-little-to-no-threat-to-any-upcoming-or-ongoing-titles/
