    I literally have nothing to say. It would probably result in me being banned from this forum for extreme language and over-usage of calling the head of Disney's mother a person of less reputable sexual means.

    No First Assault.

    No Star Wars 1313 which is personally the game I've been the most hyped for since it was announced.

    No Star Wars.

    Battle.

    Front.

    Well, it looked like we were never going to get another Xwing or Tie Fighter game anyways, so I was already pissed at LucasArts to begin with.

    Go, find Tie Fighter. Install DOSBox. Play it for hours. Enjoy a game that deserves an update more than any other.

    This is very, VERY.....aggravating....unfortunate....I'm trying to find nice, mild words to say.

    So, no Star Wars games at all?! No more?

    I had given up hope on Battlefront 3 before I saw First Assault. 1313 looked so very promising that even the Clone Wars series referenced it. No more hope for Rouge Squadron sequels or a true KotOR sucessor....not even a chance for a Republic Commando sequel.

    This is bull of the highest calibur.

    While LucasArts have had some bad games (I personally find The Force Unleashed to be quite bad) I think it's cruel to say they had this coming, because quite frankly they didn't. The games First Assault and 1313 were looking INCREDIBLY promising for LucasArts and while they may not have been able to turn it around completely, they were set to revolutionise the way LucasArts produced its games. Basically testers for more games to come. I had heard they were also planning on a completely space orientated game with all the fighters and stuff.

    Bear in mind that people lost their jobs because of this shut-down. These were hard-working people who thought they had a promising career and project ahead of them, which Disney shut down because they didn't think it'd be worth it/didn't want it associated with their brand.

    Great job Disney, your freaking ego just lost a great game company. They can't say they didn't have the money, Disney is one of the freaking biggest global economy giants on the planet.

    We should form a Fan Rebellion to take down the Disney Empire! Who knows, if this goes on, they might even get Valve or Microsoft!... OK that's unlikely but still, you get the point!

    @Rexy: Sure how much you need?
    @Zoe: Yup, it's real. It's like Disney is TRYING to dig themselves a grave.
