Get Star Wars out of EAs gross grubby little hands. They don't deserve it.

Respawn has made 2 incredibly good SW games, and EA doesn't have exclusivity anymore. Seems like a silly complaint at this point.

I dunno. I think they're a match made in heaven. Not like Disney has shown any respect to Star Wars.

Disney also does not deserve it. Damn you George Lucas for choosing dragon levels of wealth over keeping control of star wars! Damn you!

Not as if Lucas was doing it any favors with the prequels either. Only made them to cash in on toy revenue once the original contract was over

He did it to spend time with his family and allow someone to continue instead of him

These kind of comments disregard all of the good things that've came from Disney. Rebels, the end of the clone wars, rogue one, early mando, bad batch, andor and the high republic books and comics.

Yeah the movie issues really go back to one root cause. They needed to write and maintain a single cohesive storyline for the trilogy. Allowing the directors to also write the movies as they wanted without any apparent oversight AND switching them in the middle and back was where the issues came from.

JJ started a story, Rian came in and threw that out the window to do what he wanted, then they brought JJ back in, who basically finished the story he started, largely ignoring the middle. It wasn't cohesive in any way and felt disjointed throughout because of it.

Yep, main movies are awful everything else they did ranged from good to great (although not watched acolyte). With some better than Lucas' star wars, yet most people act like Disney ruined it. Without Disney, we'd be getting next to no star wars at all.

Solo? Resistance? Visions? Obi-Wan? Book fo Boba Fett?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Visions was mint, solo was pretty good once you got past the different actor and the way he got the solo name, i enjoyed parts of obi wan, and until mando showed up and turned it into his show (even though it was probably the best episode) i was enjoying boba.

They did, and they gave it to Ubisoft.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So, EA-lite. Not an improvement imo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yes that was the joke.

The 1st one was pretty good. Never played the 2nd
