George Lucas forever murdered that franchise for me. I've lost all interest in it, and it's something that I grew up with in the 70's.

.... well, fuck.... I love Star Wars, I'd love a new movie, but I'm worried about what Disney will do to Star Wars. I also dislike Disney...

They'll do nothing. Just like they do nothing to interfere with marvel.
Disney is just going to make even MORE money. As if The Avengers wasnt enough

So... does that mean Disney is the EA of movies?

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

no, EA interferes with the development process of their published games. Disney does not.

Not fully sure if there's a proper comparison for this

Disney has done well by Marvel - I'm hopeful they'll do the same here! Plus less George Lucas being a utter wookie fucker. I mean, just watch Howard the Duck and those two Ewok TV-Movies. I don't know how we all didn't predict the prequel fuck-up right there.

Hopefully Disney buying Lucasfilms will turn out to be a blessing from Cthulhu.
The Ewok Adventure movies are still superior to Attack of the Clones :P

Not going to happen after The Old Republic was such a flop. EA has moved away from single-player almost completely.

Who says EA has to be involved at all.

Fuck ea.

Lucasarts and obsidian is all we need man.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

CatastrophicLolcats

Well I imagine EA owning the rights to the Old Republic universe might mandate their involvement.

That said I would love to see Obsidian go back and make a Knights of the Old Republic III. The second one, although unfinished and lacking polish, was so much better than that Bioware trash which was the first one.

they didn't have anything to do with kotor 1 and 2 though--hopefully they just published TOR.

I'm actually kind of happy about this. Not that I'm overly optimistic about what Disney will do with the franchise, but I'll take an unknown, probably crappy quantity over a known, definitely crappy quantity.

This also means Disney owns the Star Wars video game franchises. Quick, someone convince them to resurrect KOTOR as a single-player RPG series!

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I agree, bring back KOTOR!!! But I am kind of afraid of Disney being in charge, Lucas is still the creative director (something like that) so they will talk to him before they screw it all up...

1 decade ago

Lucas already screwed it all up himself.

1 decade ago

With all respect to KOTOR fans and the game itself, FUCK KOTOR. What we need is a new 3rd person shooter action Star Wars game like Jedi Academy, imho, the best SW game ever made.

But yes, bring back KOTOR, but after Jedi Knight IV

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Lol! I actually haven't played any of them but I have seen my friend play KOTOR and Jedi Academy, I am not sure which one I like more... I want another Battlefront or Republic Commando...

+1 for both Battlefront and Republic Commando!

Shit I always forget about Republic Commando, lovely fast paced shooter with a good plot. Alright, let's hope they bring Republic Commando 2, Battlefront III, KOTOR 3 and Jedi Knight IV!

Hell Ya!!! I still have yet to play RC... Hey someone wanna make a giveaway?

Another KOTOR would be awesome, but since Disney already said, they're going to concentrate on mobile and social games, I doubt it'll happen.

I wonder if Disney will be smarter and change the Star Wars The Old Republic F2P plan to a better one.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

TOR is owned and operated by Electronic Arts, not by LucasArts. Disney just bought Lucasfilm, the parent company of LucasArts. Further, EA owns the rights to the Old Republic part of the Star Wars universe. So they can basically do whatever they want with The Old Republic, while Disney can do absolutely nothing.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Well then TOR is either going to die or EA will need to change the f2p plan, let's hope it's the 2nd and they choose a good f2p plan this time, becouse the story is actually really good. >.<

Never seen the originals so I could honestly care less. Hopefully they make another Battlefront though.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

The problem with bringing the movies back is the actors are ancient... That's what sucked about the Indiana Jones movie that never happened was Harrison Ford is old as heck, Mark Hamill looks awful in his old age and Fisher is getting there. The only characters that never change are R2 and C-3PO, they are in the suits so they can't change...

At least Lucas isn't involved. I find it hard to believe that it could be worse than episodes 1, 2,and 3 but Disney does tend to fuck things up. This is bad. (Plinkett is going to have a cow...)
