Shame I have lots of their games. Well hopefully they will sell off some of the current developments to others for them to be completed.

Game Over... Mickey Mouse Wins. Jedi lose. :cry:

It's been a very long time since I played a Starwars game; back in the 486 days. It was really quite incredible for the time though. They definitely had talent.

I think that what they will be doing is outsourcing the development to third parties. The best games were developed outside the studio anyway.

From the article:
Quote:
Publicly, Disney is saying their current games could be licensed out to a different publisher or developer, but according to our source, that's unlikely. Our source says Lucas has pursued the option for "one or both games," but nothing happened. "With the teams now basically being dispersed I think both games are effectively dead forever," our source said.

A second source also told Kotaku this afternoon that the chances of Lucas licensing out 1313 are very slim. The odds are "effectively zero," the source said.
