Disney has done a terrible thing. They have closed LucasArts and fired over 150 workers. They did this even after the great response from fans regarding Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 1313.

Meh, all this means is that most of their internally-made projects will either be licensed out, or die.


Look, it's Disney. They're going to use that license to make games. They'll have other devs and distributors get the products out. It isn't the end of Star Wars games. Bioware still has The Old Republic, for example. In the past decade, their best franchises were made by other studios anyway.

Excellent. LucasArts hasn't been doing anything good since they shifted to internal development.

The best games were made by outside companies who were allowed the license; Factor 5, Pandemic, Petroglyph, Ensemble, Raven Software, BioWare, Obsidian. All LucasArts really did was throw money at them, and we got good products out of it.

Hopefully Disney will return to that model.

I was excited about Star Wars 1313 and if First Assault did well Lucas Arts was going to greenlight Battlefront III.

Now I am a sad panda.

Say what? I keep telling people that Disney (and Apple) are/is evil and Disney just confirmed that they are.
