Probably on Cloud City.

C-C-C-C-Combo breaker!

Turns out we don't have to wonder if Clone Wars will move on to Disney. Season 5's finale was not only the season, but the series finale. In retrospect, I couldn't have picked a better way to end the series.

Farlander · 03/13/2013, 07:51 pm

Okay, LucasArts, seriously... What. The. ****?! So, not only Star Wars 1313 was shelved, but First Assault was shelved too (and, the info is that Disney had nothing to do with both projects being frozen).

LucasArts. Get your shit together. You haven't released anything good ever since the remakes of Monkey Island and greenlighting TellTale's ToMI (and the president who was responsible for that awesomeness was fired). And now you're shelving games that have the potential to be, gee, I don't know, good?!?!?!

*Darth Marsden* · 03/13/2013, 11:31 pm

LucasArts are basically unsure about what to do with these games thanks to the buyout from Disney, and they're unsure whether to go ahead with them or not. So if you want to blame anyone, blame the House of the Mouse.

Chyron8472 · 03/14/2013, 05:12 am

Disney doesn't need blame for this. LucasArts was already bad about either releasing no games at all or else falling back on Star Wars shovelware.

Sure, they released the Monkey Island SE's and licensed ToMI, but that's the exception for them, not the rule.

Gibbeynator · 03/14/2013, 11:17 am

I thought it was common knowledge that, whenever a new LucasArts president takes over, the pet projects of the previous president are immediately shelved indefinitely or outright cancelled. See Battlefront 3, all external development, and the endless lineup of canned adventure games.

Chyron8472 · 03/28/2013, 01:19 pm

Harmy very recently released v2.1 of "Star Wars" (aka. A New Hope) on AVCHD in his "Despecialized" theatrical restoration project. I have to say that it looks fantastic. (It's on Myspleen if anyone is interested.)

Pardon me if I fixate on Star Wars references for a while around here.

...Seriously, every Star Wars fan who remembers the OT from before the SE's should watch these.

Gibbeynator · 04/03/2013, 09:36 am

R.I.P. LucasArts.

BlankCanvasDJ · 04/03/2013, 09:44 am

Well...that...bites...

Unless that means they're selling off LA's other licenses (since apparently they're only interested in Star Wars). Quick, TT, go spend some of that Walking Dead money!

LuigiHann · 04/03/2013, 09:48 am

I hope they do something with the licenses. In theory, if the entity to be known as Lucasarts becomes a "licensing model," then if a third party developer contacts them about licensing a game based on one of their properties, maybe they'll actually take the time to consider it. Or not, who knows. Maybe they'll have a sign on the door saying "Star Wars inquiries only"

Sucks that people had to be laid off but you wonder what they've even been doing there for the past couple of years.

*Darth Marsden* · 04/03/2013, 09:50 am

What the fuck?

What about the games currently in development? 1313? That First Strike thing? I was interested in those!

Well, shit.

...

On the plus side, they may very well be open to other companies doing stuff with their various IPs now. More Monkey Island, anyone?

BlankCanvasDJ · 04/03/2013, 09:51 am

True. It's sad in a nostalgic kind of way, but it's not like Lucasarts has been a good game company in a long time. This may actually prove to be good news. Or it may be the last nail in the coffin for some of those franchises.

I was kinda curious about 1313 though.

Not from Telltale, apparently. Reading that, it feels like LucasArts just died twice in the past half hour

You're killing me, man.
