I'm sure they would love to, and now that they're not the only ones who can, I say go for it. But this isn't special or news, EA has always made money on Star Wars games. Obviously some vague statement about wanting to make more, particularly following their latest successful franchise, is to be expected.
My desire to see the exclusive Star Wars license pried out of EA's claws was never because I'd hoped they would never make another one, only that I hoped other studios would get the chance for themselves.
I think we’ll see that now with Ubisoft getting involved. Still blows my mind that BioWare hasn’t made a Star Wars game recently considering they’re responsible for KOTOR (then again who’s still around from them?)
