Bye bye LucasArts

[Clone155]

Disney killed it. I'm beyond pissed. They may claim financial reasons, but they lost a lot of Star Wars fans.

Since LucasArts stopped making good games a-la Monkey Island many years ago, I don't think that there will be much weeping over Lego Star Wars.

Much ado about really nothing.  It's not like there aren't going to be any more Star Wars games, it's just going to be made by 3rd party studios which in case you didn't know, already made the vast majority of LA games.  It's been many, many years since LA developed and released a game internally, instead in the last few years relied on 3rd party studios to make the games for them.

Though, I am bummed about the cancellation of 1313, was looking forward to play a game from Boba Fett's perspective.

ack-ack

Who wants to start a petition for Disney to tap HiTech to create an Aces High-style X-Wing game?

Why risk them getting outbid by EA?

That is really the only reason I am upset 1313 was looking to be a good game.

Battlehawks 1942 and Their Finest Hour were largely responsible for my WW2 aircraft and flying in general interests.  The manual in particular from BH1942 was excellent with a lot of really great naval aviation stories from the Pacific theater.
