You can't if you're on the board of directors, which I imagine nobody here is.

The only thing we as consumers should care about is how good the company is doing at appeasing their customers. A lot of us long-time LA adventure fans essentially had our heart torn out and stomped on by the brass at Lucas for the sole reason of cashing in on easy to sell IP to make a bigger profit.

Lucas has only recently begun to listen to their customers again with the release of SoMI:SE and MI2:LR:SE. Those games may not make huge profit margins, but LA's image has vastly improved since the fall from their Golden Age to their Dark Age because of that fact.

Agreed, I'm getting so sick of them. The only Star Wars games that I want to see released would be either a Star Wars adventure game (which would never happen) or another installment of the superb Jedi Knight series (which looks unlikely).

Nah, LA should not buy TTG. But I think that their cooperation has payed off great for us fans, with the Talels of Monkey Island games that helped bring back a great franchise. So I'm hoping that they will work together again at some point, but TTG should remain their own company.

I agree with this, but with the humble addition of SW:TOR.

The Force unleashed game wasn't the bad.

And there's a sequel coming up. I have only tried the PSP version of Force Unleashed, but I thought that was kinda fun. I tried the demo of it on PS3, and I kinda liked that too, despite the somewhat awkard force elevation controls (lifting and throwing people around was difficult - I imagine if this was a top down game the controls would work better).

TFU feels kind of just like a Jedi Knight spin-off, so it's pretty okay.

I really enjoyed the demo. I'd like to get the full game. I'd even get the sequel probably when it comes out...

I prefer TTG on its own, Lucasart has to prove herself making new adventure games. Of the Star Wars games I kind of like Knights of the old republic, and Force unleashed was good too.

No, please. Telltale it's ok as it is. Just a little big company who dows big games. I don't care about Lucas Arts, although they are putting out the SE for the first two MI games.

But why would they? When they can put the telltale team to work on the next "Lego Star Wars: The Clone Wars what-if-obiwan-had-killed-anakin" game?. There's always more money to squeeze from the star wars saga.

I voted no.

That said, a new Star Wars FPS would be awesome, imagine something like Call of Duty but set on the Star Wars universe.

No. Simple as that.

Working together though... that's a whole different kettle of fish.

Yeah.
