Sad day. Any Star Wars games that were coming out have now been cancelled as well.

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/04/03/disney-closes-game-publisher-lucasarts.aspx

Maybe Disney will be kind enough to us fans and give us the games we want like Battlefont 3, Knights of the Old Republic 3, and Jedi Knight 4.

    Shame. Star Wars: 1313 looked very good, and there was always the possibility of Battlefront 3 to look forward to.

    Is the plan to starve us of Star Wars content to bring in more money when the next film is released? If so, it could work.

    I came across this. Perhaps there is still hope?

    Y'know, I don't get Disney's strategy. Closing down and cancelling every big thing in the works for Star Wars is not the way to make Episode VII the best it can be. We may never get to see Star Wars Detours now, the awesome looking 1313 has a 5050 shot and The Clone Wars is now gone. Episode VII damn well better be the best thing I've ever seen, because all this loss is disappointing me.

    I love how you state opinion as fact. ;-) Anyway, millions of fans disagree with you but then perhaps you need a few more years to figure out the true significance and brilliance of Star Wars, friend. :-)

    For Fleming's sake, people like you annoy me. Why come into a thread obviously meant for Star Wars discussion by fans of the franchise, only to say "it is terrible", or "it is so lame" or "why would anyone like this?" You don't like it? Well, congratulations! Do you expect some kind of medal because of it? In the future, try to avoid posting in threads where your hate doesn't belong.

    "Cos" he's probably one of those guys who hates popular things.

    Anyway this is terrible news. 1313 was looking fantastic and wasn't there a report that this First Assault game was a "test" for Battlefront 3? Oh well. The only silver lining is that when the new films come out, the games will come with them

    And if they're based on the films, I will say this:



    Because Star Wars movie based games (not counting the oddly superb Lego Star Wars games) all suck massively.

    I disagree. The OT games (Super Star Wars, Super Empire Strikes Back, and Super Return of the Jedi) were fun, hard but fun.
    I don't really remember The Phantom Menace video game and Jedi Power Battles was really fun. I have many great memories playing the latter. I didn't really like the Obi-Wan game.
    I don't think there was ever an official Attack of the Clones game. I know they had some that took place during the events of the movie but nothing about the movie itself.
    The Revenge of the Sith video game wasn't half bad. I actually had a blast playing it. I liked the one on one lightsaber duels. I don't think they've had a Star Wars fighting game since Masters of Teras Kasi. I like it as a kid even though most people hated it.
    I tend to like most Star Wars games.

    Attack of the Clones was a GBA game. It sucked. Hard.

    I love how you state opinion as fact. ;-) Anyway, millions of fans disagree with you but then perhaps you need a few more years to figure out the true significance and brilliance of Star Wars, friend. :-)
    Well no offence but your 31 and you probaly saw it as a kid and the sort of stuff I watch on tv is probaly different to what you used to watch when you were my age which is 13. So thats my reason friend.

    I agree! The better AOTC game for Game Boy Advance, which really took place in between episodes 2 and 3, was Star Wars: The New Droid Army. That game was actually extremely entertaining on GBA and had great replay value, unlike the actual AOTC GBA game.

    Yes, you probably watch "reality" shows, pretending that that's what really happens in life. You're probably one of those kids who throws up your nose at others who watch cartoons, aren't you? I'm all but certain that you simply hate Star Wars because others like it.

    Granted, nobody's really been on this thread thanks to the troll samainsy, but I'm still surprised no one has posted this little bit of news:

    http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-14835-EA-Secures-Multi-Year-Deal-to-Develop-Star-Wars-Games.html

    Hopefully, this means that 1313 and Battlefront III are back on track.
