Disney closing LucasArts game studio

"After evaluating our position in the games market, we've decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company's risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games," reads the statement. "As a result of this change, we've had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles."

Good. Maybe now they can make something worth a shit.

Yeah, I had a similar reaction. At first I read the headline and was like "WTF!". Then I thought about it and realized they haven't made a good Star Wars game in almost ten years. It's been a long time since KOTOR 2. Star Wars 1313 looked promising though, maybe it'll get picked up at a later date.

I enjoyed the Force Unleashed 1 & 2.

They were quick and easy to defeat but provided satisfaction.

KOTOR was great. Never tried any of the online games but had a friend who played one and got to view some of its roleplay. Looking boring.

Battlefront 2 is great! Just an epic game to go head to head against others and talk yo shit. The Assualt on Mos Easly with hero characters is great!
