    Re: Disney shuts down LucasArts and cancels Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 13

    not surprised really they've not done anything in a while, and as disney purchased lucasarts as a whole for the ip's not really for the company.
    The recent license for the angry birds star wars, where all that was done was the ip license was sold so lucasarts had no hand in production of development, should of been a massive clue.
    When the new movies come out I've no doubt they'll do a similar thing for movie tie in games.

    It was? LucasArts haven't made a good game in years, so it's hardly surprising.

    Re: Disney shuts down LucasArts and cancels Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 13

    LucasArts was less of a developer in recent years anyway. They tended to just be a licensor. It makes sense for Disney to develop under one studio.

    The rumors are pointing towards battlefront 3 being in development. I'll hold judgement on how badly they messed up based on the next trilogy and battlefront.
