I sure hope this does not impact FFG liscense with star wars for this game and their LCG.

Wanted to see what everyones' thoughts were.

It shouldn't, considering LucasArts was strictly software.

Good point. I just don't trust Disney.

they're basically going to switch to just licensing the IP to other studios to make games for them. which sounds kind of familiar…

i see this game going to wizkids to become a colletable and with crap ships sculpts.

Lets pray to the force that im wrong.

I don't see why it would. What FFG does is precisely what Disney wants, ie: outside companies making stuff based on the IP, rather than Disney having to fund its own companies to do the same. Less risk in licensing to others, because you get the cash whether what's produced by that licensee is a hit or a miss!

As far as I can tell, Disney bought LucasFilm, not LucasArts. So it's entirely possible the purchase will have no impact on this awesome game whatsoever - it depends on which subsidiary the licensed materials fall under.

Disney wont kill this game, FFG are doing a good enough job at killing this game through consumer dis-interest! I have never known a company to be so slow at getting product on a shelf than this one, the lead times and delays are killing this game off faster than Disney can cash a cheque.

The games great but the marketing support sucks and blows.
