In a stream, the lead designer of Battlefront 2 said that the cross-era stuff was purely done to show off Rey for E3, and they haven't actually decided if they're going to have it in the final game.

Fingers crossed they don't.

Dice is all about being authentic, and if we wanted to throw that away completely, we'd be having shit like Rey on the CIS, and Rebels fighting Clones.

I'm sceptical about the "DLC will be free" thing. There's gotta be a catch somewhere.

>Rey on the CIS, and Rebels fighting Clones

Sounds pretty cool.

>>93147805
Lootcrate/buyable cosmetics.

>>93147805
>>93147809
I thought it was just the one DLC that was free, but that future DLCs would be paid for?

>>93147834
You're thinking of the first game.

>>93147757
I think it would be fine as a custom server option or something, like the custom matches you can make up in BF1
For quickmatch stuff, or just as a standard rule you have to actively change heroes being locked to their own era would be better, just for the immersion
>>93147771
DLC/updates are all free this time around, so even if they don't show up for a while they won't charge you for them which is for the best
They'll probably show up as a super unit like the Super Battle Droid we saw in the Theed gameplay

>>93147805
The only AAA games to ever give completely free DLC compensated with microtransactions.

Can range from cosmetic only, to paying for boosts that can help you win.

>>93147757
No big deal if they do/don't. I'm always up for the potential for crazy shenanigans.

>>93147834
Yep. All new maps and heroes will be free so as to not separate the playerbase. They'll probably monetize it through loot boxes or something similar instead.

>>93147730
Definitely, to see him and Dodanna strategize another suicide mission? Dreamy.
>>93147769
I thought Kylo killed him in the force vision?
>>93147784
Hype, I'll wait too, thanks,

>>93147824
Maybe in some party playlist or custom games sure, but not for the main game. Why ruin it for everyone else just to get some weird shit.

>>93147805
>>93147834
Cosmetic microtransactions are very likely (akin to the Titanfall 2 system of paying 3 to 4 pounds for skins and custom decals per Titan), and there might be some loot box bullshit as well

>>93147852
I just want to enjoy some Clone Wars man, I don't want to see Boba and Rey duking it out while I am trying to kill clankers.

Cross-era stuff is perfectly fine for the "party" game modes like Heroes vs Villains. Custom games should have the option too.

But in the main multiplayer modes? They should focus explicitly on an accurate gameplay experience. The gameplay they show off literally opens with scripted cinematics of droids being dropped in, and arresting Clones as you march into the city. So much effort went into the immersion only to-OH LOOK REY.

The plus side when it comes to microtransactions (aside from the free maps and characters) is that games that rely entirely on microtransactions to make a profit post-launch will usually have a LOT of it.

So all of those Clone designs and decals and shit that you're hoping for are likely going to be in the game at some point.

>>93148029
Could we atleast get a clone who dual wields

Dee bradly baker voicing them is already a shock

>>93148056
Probably. They haven't even shown a fraction of the weapons in the game apparently. Even the last game had a nice handful.

They even said Hero characters would have interchangeable attacks you can customize too.

So if you want to unlock Rex's gear, and throw on dual blasters and play as Rex, I am willing to bet that this is going to be possible in the game.

How many Hero characters are the expected to be in the game? What would this number be limited with?

If I'm understanding the synopsis right, it sounds likely.

>>93148212
>>93148278
Probably should have specified. Notice obviously the goggles on the head but also notice the red shoulder part of her vest, the vest being shorter than her shirt, her gun holster on the left, and the fact that she doesn't have any sleeves.

>>93148140
I'd take an educated guess for you.

This should not be a surprise to anybody, because Dice were heavily criticized for leaving out Chewbacca last time. So with that in mind;

>Luke
>Leia
>Han
>Chewie
>DLC: ???

>Vader
>Sheev (probably)
>Boba

>Padmé or Ahsoka (Probably.)
>DLC: ???

>Maul
>Greivous (Probably)
>Dooku (Probably)
>Jango or Ventress (Probably.)
>DLC: ???

ST:
>Rey
>DLC: Finn

>Kylo
>DLC: Phasma

Also speaking of DLC, they said each DLC expansion is themed, with the first one being The Last Jedi. So assuming we get four like last time, I think it's a very safe bet to say the other three will be The Clone Wars, Rebels, and the Han Solo movie. This way every Era gets at least one expansion (with the OT getting two, because Dice).

>>93148322
We know nothing other than that it is the "spiritual successor to 1313" dealing with the grittier side of the universe. It's being led by Amy Hennig (Uncharted), and is being co-produced by the people who are also diong the Battlefront 2 story.

The only known location thus far is Tatooine, and that it's set sometime during the OT era. People are speculating that it could be the centerpeice of a ESB->ROTJ expansion, similar to Shadows of the Empire in Legends. People are also speculating that it could be tied to the Han Solo movie in another major cross-continuity connection. Similar to how Rogue One and Rebels had quite a bit off connection and crossover.

There's also that speculation that Aphra and Sabine could be making appearances, based on >>93148278 and pic related, which was seen in the few seconds of footage they've shown.

Problem with that, is how would you customize them?

>>93148536
Clones don't really have any tanky, bulky characters outside of special cases like that guy from the Bad Batch.

THAT being said... Where are the Commando's? Perhaps it's map specific, and we'll get Commando's on the CQC maps instead.

>>93148549
I don't think specialist spawns are going to be customizable. Only regular classes + Heroes + Vehicles.

But if you can customize specialist spawns, then we have actually seen multiple variants of the Droidekas with different kinds of weapons.

Like those Sniper Droidekas that compromised by having no bubble shield.

>>93148569
I think we will see them. We only saw one (?) Prequel republic special character but we saw multiple for the CIS

>>93148922
No, she is canonically straight.

Some girl she meets seems to have a crush on her, although the character is young and it isn't explicit at all.

Ahsoka is completely oblivious to it. Ahsoka has has three love interests, and they've all been white boys.

Nigga I wouldn't care if she eats ass, she still bends over for muh big white cock, and has shown no interest, romantic or sexual, in anything else thus far in canon.

>>93148959

>>93149120
I may have misremembered. I could have sworn there was a third one at some point, but I can't put my name on him right now.

But she probably wanted to fuck Anakin too.

>>93148895
You mean her

>>93148309
Based on your speculation, I'd say they'll go with movie characters (e.g. Padme over Ahsoka, Jango over Ventress), but if they indeed make a TCW-themed DLC, Ahsoka and Ventress are likely to be there.
And if another DLC would be Rebels, I'll die from happiness, although I don't really think it's likely, in part because this leaves out Rogue One content, which probably has a higher priority than TV shows.
I'd also love Aphra to get in there somewhere, but that's just pure dreaming.

Not nessesarily a big fan of the red, but overall the I think the Inferno Squad design direction works. She's the main character of a game that involves both space and ground combat, which is the kind of content that people want out of a Star Wars game. Maybe if the LSG ever backtracks on "Infinities"-style works you can get your Eli Vanto supply and logistics simulator.

Anakin and Ahsoka could have gotten laid at the drop of a hat with half the temple if they wanted.

Anakin might have fooled around a bit before marrying Padme, but Obi-Wan was the true panty moisturizer of the Order.

Looks like ARC troopers are already being used as the default design for the Heavy Class.

Also BLAZE is non-canon, and tbqh any non-canon Clone design that wasn't made canon in TCW is probably not coming back.

>What did they think they possibly had to gain from it?
Easy money with no effort on their part. Sure, the next directors/writers job is a whole lot harder, as is the rest of the trilogy, but he's not going to be around anymore so why should he give a fuck.

>>93151243
He's basically the store brand version of Spielberg. He's spent his entire career trying to be Spielberg but most of the time it's just straight imitation of Spielberg's techniques with no understanding of why they work, so they feel hollow.

>do you know what a scout is? because it's not synonymous with "sniper"
Are you not familiar with Star Wars? See one new design or character or race or fucking planet doing one thing, and they are all pigeon-holed into that role for the rest of days. Hutts will always be gangsters because of Jabba. Scout Troopers will always be snipers because of ROTJ. Twi'leks will always be whores to the braindead male part of the fandom.

B1 had a rocket launcher in the original battlefronts you dolt

and there's no reason an SBD shouldn't have access to a sniper arm the same as it had a rocket arm in TCW and Repcom

What Legends stuff would you have kept in the new canon, realistically?

>>93152819
You realize that the default classes have designs literally tailored to their equipment right?

Like, the sniper has the visor thingy down

All the customization options for each class are keeping this shit in mind, so that you're playing as the appropriate character with the appropriate equipment, and you want to just throw that all he way so you can play as a scout trooper whenever you like?

>>93152894
Honest to god, all my favorite things have already been made canon in some way.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything else I would want to keep. There may be some things, but right now I can't think of any.

>>93152894
Jedi Prince

>>93152894
I'd have kept the idea of a breakoff line of Sith that established an empire in the Unknown Regions, from KOTOR 2--and from TOR, I guess, but I never really liked what TOR did with the idea, so I'd rather just keep them at the "whispers and fears" level they were at in KOTOR 2 until the Story Group found something better to do with them.

It might even work as a way to explain where Snoke's from, considering we already know he's from the Unknown Regions.

>>93152898
alright, tell me where rebel pilots fit in then - do they not deserve to choose between pistol or rifle?

or would you rather they be kept in space alone?

>>93152894
Tales of the Jedi

>>93153078
I wouldn't mind them being in space alone, but I am sure they'll make the pilots unlockable for at least one of the classes.

Most likely the main assault class with the standard blasters. I'm sure they're going to try and find an appropriate place to include as much designs as possible.

I'm wondering myself if Galactic Marines or Paratroopers will make it into the game, and which classes they'll be tied to.

>>93153078
rebel pilots seem to use the DL44, since a full sized weapon would use up too much space in the cockpit

this is based off what luke was armed with in episode 5, it is unclear if he was packing heavy or light compared to other pilots

>>93153177
I think the comic showed TIE Pilots with the standard E-11's, so they'll probably be unlockable skins for the main Assault class

Based on all of the TCW love, and single-player character design, I am 99% sure that one of the main parts of customization will simply be helmets with different decal designs.

Things like Fives and Rex's helmets will probably be "Rare" unlocks from whatever lootbox system they're likely going to use.

There will probably be a Commando unlock for the Heavy Class, with different unlockable helmet decals too. Would you guys like this kind of system?

Some of the early campaigns against the Separatist holdouts (Cituric, Western Reaches, reclamation of the Rim) majority of vehicles like the AT-XT, TX-130, 1M/1H, and super star destroyers/battlecruisers. And some minor conflicts and characters.

1 major thing is have the Galactic Civil war continue for a few years longer like in Legends. New canon has the Empire destroyed in a few decisive battles due to Palpatine being an asshole.

Xizor, Rogue Squadron, ,Pellaeon, and a number of characters/stories from that era. It's not so much the big things, but the little things that are missing from the Nucanon. wiping the slate clean is nice and helps organize continuity, but Disney has not done a very good job of filling in the little things and fleshing out the expanded universe. The Aftermath trilogy is a perfect example of this. it was supposed to be the big anchor for the post ROTJ canon, and it fell flat on its ass and didn't really offer a whole lot of substance. Most of the new characters outside of the Zabrak and the Battle Droid were just plain unlikable too.

I really think the absence of Rogue Squadron has hurt the most. Not only has Wedge's character been drastically downgraded, but the new "phantom squad" and Snap are not adequate replacements.

They still don't have a defining book/book series either. books like Tarkin, Bloodline, and Thrawn and great on their own. But there's no Thrawn Trilogy tier book yet.

It always is the little things.

NuCanon really tried too hard to avoid tripping itself up, so a lot of shit just has no real substance. The Ahsoka novel doesn't go into much detail on anything it describes and is a best just setup for shit that will never pay off, and even shit unrelated to either animated series. Every novel has to be ended with a nice neat bow if it could possibly butt heads with the OT so it just feels like a conga line where Ezra is just setting shit up for Jyn who sets up for Luke and they never meet so it all feels artificial as shit. Then you have stupid shit like the empire and rebels using A-Wings and Stormtroopers literal months after the prequels ended just because of "muh iconic".

You are flat out never going to get something like Wedge's Gamble or the other Stackpole stuff because both of those series, comic and novels, were basically just Michael Stackpole making shit up as he went without much to stop him. Which means that while his obvious furfag tendencies crop up a lot, you get a story that feels like a story instead of just setup to this other thing to buy, even when it blatantly is just a backdoor pilot like Corran's first appearance.

that anon has a point. I'm by no means one of those massively butthurt legendsfags, but there's a lot of soullessness coming out of the nucanon.

I also think a lot of positive stuff came out of the canon wipe. but there's a lot of depth that has been lost and Disney is not doing a good job filling the holes back up. I understand that they are also playing the long game, it's going to take time to get new stories. As >>93155033 put it, almost every story has the same structure, very little depth, and is always wrapped up with a definitive ending with no room to speculate or wonder. the good EU books were always filled to the brim with stuff that made people wonder.

The lows of the nucanon are not as bad as the lows of the EU, but the high points of the EU are far greater than the highs of the nucanon.

>>93155389
>Actual non-saga movies, of which are actually tied into and spanning out of surrounding media.

That's BS and you know it. There were two Ewoks movies and a TV series which tied into comics, got NPC's in the MMO, and got stories afterwards. There's also that whole Clone Wars thing which obviously went places after the animated movie.

You do not need NuCanon to have an anthology style film. The only reason we didn't get more of that before was that George flat out didn't want to do it.

For fucks sakes one of the core things NuCanon has is the idea that every game is made by EA and this is for a straight decade if not forever, and NuMarvel's exclusivity is in perpetuity. You flat out do not get games like KOTOR or Jedi Knight under that system. If it's about actual stories the quality overall has very much dropped because half the mediums out there have been permanently hamstringed. I fucking dare you to look at a completely random still from TCW and another from Rebels and say the latter looks better, let alone plays out better in motion or story content.

>Lost Stars

>soulless

I wish you fuckers would stop cherrypicking. It's been only three fucking years, and there is already tons of good stories across all media. The EU was unhinged (for better AND worse) for 30 years, and you guys are saying "look, look! they did more wacky stuff!" as if that makes it better.

It's especially frustrating because of all the good content and writers coming out and giving us Star Wars just as good (and often far better) than stuff we saw in Legends, and I am still seeing these backwards fucking excuses and accusations of it being "soulless".

Like, the other guy is pointing to anything connecting to the movies as soulless because it's just "set up". But that ignores all of the self-contained storytelling, and the fact that everything can connect to everything now. It's not just set up for movies, for fuck sakes.

And even the few cases when it IS fundamentally pitched and constructed as set up for a movie, look at Catalyst, one of the best fucking Star Wars books we have EVER had.

Seriously, this argument is fucking dumb.

>>93155552
Fuck, in the old EU there was always the option of a flat-out hard retcon when something totally shit had to be worked around. Is that even a thing the Story Group would ever attempt?

>>93155595
>Is that even a thing the Story Group would ever attempt?
As much as some EUtists would like to believe, no the Story Group has no intention of retconning or replacing certified canon media.

>Ewok movies and the 2003 cartoon
Wow, ya really got me! Anon come the fuck on, you know it's not the same as having George himself (and later a specific Lucasfilm group) to oversee it all.

>There's also that whole Clone Wars thing which obviously went places after the animated movie.
This was never part of the Expanded Universe, as much as the Wook tried it's best to fit it in.

>NuCanon has is the idea that every game is made by EA and this is for a straight decade if not forever
I'll say this right now; I am NOT in support of this. However it's stupid to pretend like we can't get good games from this. Battlefront sucked ass, but BF2 on the other hand looks like a genuine successor to the 2005 game in every single way.

>the quality overall has very much dropped because half the mediums out there have been permanently hamstringed.
And this is 100% not true. You are completely deluded and blinded by nostalgia if you believe this. The only way you could believe this is if you are a literal EUfag who is going into canon with the absolute intention to refuse to enjoy it.

>I fucking dare you to look at a completely random still from TCW and another from Rebels and say the latter looks better
Yeah? I like both Rebels and TCW. TCW is my favorite Star Wars thing ever, period. Yes, TCW looks much better. We all know why. I am not going to deny it, but I don't see how it's relevant to this conversation either. Lucas bankrolling a pet project is an obvious exception when it comes to Star Wars media. Again, TCW was NOT EU. No matter how much you might want it to be, Lucas always considered it canon over the EU, and walked all over the EU when he wanted to do things differently.

It's been three years after they have a blueprint of what works and what doesn't from decades of doing this. For fucks sake an anon directly asked Stackpole, who was one of the pillars of the EU, and they literally never called him.

Which is the thing, I'm not going to be charitable to Lucasfilm or EA or Marvel or anybody else because they know what works and refuse to do it. EA KNOWS people like KOTOR and TIE Fighter and even though they have the engine that can handle that shit and the studios involved, they won't even try. Lucasfilm knows what stories people liked and didn't and they still decided their villain would be a Darth Caedus retread, and nobody liked that shit the first time around. Marvel knows this is a big deal and they're still throwing traced panels into the fucking flagship title.

Lost Stars was great, but unlike the EU we have literally never seen anyone from those stories again whereas they'd have gotten a sequel by now before. Thrawn was good, but the character in no way resembles either the original version or the one seen in Rebels. Rebels is made on a fucking shoestring budget and it shows with badly rigged characters and greebling that's literally just crudely drawn onto blank surfaces because they can't afford to model the real thing anymore.

All of that shit is good in SPITE of being NuCanon, not because a unified Canon made any of it good or Disney did Star Wars any favors.

George did oversee the Ewok movies. He was on set to review everything in person on a weekly basis.

And you can't pretend that the EU didn't treat previous iterations of itself exactly how TCW treated it. I really don't care about the Z-95 being redesigned a third time when the second was an even farther departure, I don't care that Travis's Muh Mando'ade was ruined when she shat all over the Mando stufff before it, and it's not really an argument that Dathomir was changed when by the time it became an issue Dathomir was so self contradictory given every other story about it that there would need to be three different versions of it existing simultaneously for it to make sense. That's to say nothing of basically all of old Marvel being wiped away outside of literally one authors autistic obsession with preserving it.

>>93155681
Oh please, Lucas called lots of things canon only to backpedal later. Remember Force Unleashed?
Remember how big of a deal that was only to be forgotten and abandoned after both games ended up sucking dick? How about Shadows of the Empire, or Clone Wars 2003? Lucas oversaw a LOT of shit.

They didn't call Timophy for 3 years either, despite saying they always had plans. Then when they were ready to bring Thrawn in, they went straight to him and brought him back into working at Lucasfilm, not only on his book, but also for the surrounding media Thrawn would be appearing in.

Pablo says Lucasfilm is 2-4+ years ahead of everyone else when it comes to planning, depending on media, ect

It's so silly to assume Stackpole is never going to be contacted again, just because it hasn't happened yet.

>EA KNOWS people like KOTOR and TIE Fighter and even though they have the engine that can handle that shit and the studios involved, they won't even try
So, you're mad because you're not getting what YOU want?

>we have literally never seen anyone from those stories again whereas they'd have gotten a sequel by now before.
Claudia has been releasing a book a year since Lost Stars, and said that she may revisit the characters again soon. Why are you assuming Lucasfilm is conspiring against what people want? Perhaps the book authors and game developers are doing what they want? Did you know that Dice actually went to the heads of EA to ask for Battlefront? Or that it was their own decision to focus on the OT in the 2015 game? This was all shit they CHOSE to do themselves.

>Thrawn was good, but the character in no way resembles either the original version or the one seen in Rebels
>Rebels is made on a fucking shoestring budget and it shows with badly rigged characters and greebling that's literally just crudely drawn onto blank surfaces because they can't afford to model the real thing anymore.
Okay fuck this, no point arguing with a deluded EUfag

Keep crying about Lucasfilm not giving you KOTOR, or how Lucasfilm hates Stackpole or whatever.

Lucas liked enough to reference in his Blu Rays, but still not canon. He liked Aayla Secura too, but her comics were still never canon to him.

>or Clone Wars 2003?
Definitely not canon, they abandoned trying to stick with that being canon after the first season of the show. Should also have been obvious from RotS that Lucas did not consider the 2003 cartoon canon, considering Greivous in that cartoon is Greivous in name only.

So what, we're going to wait around now so that if he gets contacted next year we can see it in five years, and that means that I have to change my opinion right now sight unseen?

>So, you're mad because you're not getting what YOU want?

Don't play this game. Literally nobody except the FPS crowd is getting what they want. It's been three fucking years and there hasn't been one frame of an official release from Visceral.

There used to be a SW game for everybody. You had flight sims and RPG's and an MMO and beat em ups out alongside official tie-ins and mobile stuff for the GBA. The idea of having a couple of iphone titles and 1.5 shooters being acceptable is a fucking joke.

>Claudia has been releasing a book a year since Lost Stars, and said that she may revisit the characters again soon

Again, that's maybe's and noncomittal promises for something years down the line. I'm not going to sit around on blind faith.

>>93155849
Hera is showing up a bunch, and Kanan is one of the few characters so far to get his own comic.

Also depending on who survives, we'll likely see them popping up a bunch once the show finishes.

It's coming dude, just wait. Vidya doesn't pop up overnight, especially if you want it to be good.

Battlefront 2 might as well be Battlefront 1, because the first game was a hollow beta with no story. BF2 is the first vidya with an actual singple player, and we're getting Visceral's one literally one year later.

Patience.

I didn't say every story is soulless, but for every Thawn, Tarkin and Lando, we get an Aftermath, Heir to the Jedi, Or Chewbacca.

The Nucanon has produced some great content, I enjoyed Catalyst very much, because it had depth and expanded not only the story of rogue one, but gave us some interesting new nuggets of the canon to theorize about. More of the new media need to be like Catalyst. But if we are comparing the best of the nucanon to the best of the old, there is still some gaps.

hell, the old canon was an abyss before the Thrawn Trilogy came out.For all intents and purposes, the Thrawn Trilogy was the true start of the modern legends timeline. it was the root that all of the expanded universe grew off of. within 5 years of the first Thrawn book, you had the Dark Empire comics, the Dark Forces video game, the Tie fighter/X-wing video game series, Tales of the Jedi, Shadows of the Empire, and the X-Wing book trilogy, and many underrated short stories.

The Aftermath trilogy was supposed to be the same, and has failed miserably so far. there's very little that will be able to branch off from it.

The cutest.

>>93155814

Let me clarify. NuBioware is fucking awful and their new concept for an obvious grind2win sci fi shooter is boring as fuck, but if EA was going to give them a bunch of studios even in name only KOTOR should have been the first thing on their list. It would have been Andromeda tier and a barely playable buggy mess but it would have been a logical decision.

Which is the core of the problem. A lot of this shit ain't logical. There are a lot of things that would be obviously successful but they just refuse to do, whereas a lot of terrible decisions are being made otherwise and suddenly EVERY other piece of work reflects that due to unified Canon. Poe Dameron was boring as shit outside of it's villain before it referenced Aftermath and Snap taking half a page just to explain what's even going on when that gets involved destroyed the entire flow of that issue's climax. Even Aftermath itself is fucked over because for TFA to exist the rebellion needed to make a series of retarded decisions immediately following Endor, and having that happen there did the book no favors.

And within 5 years of the new Canon, we'll have had BF2, Viscerals vidya, literally hundreds of comics, dozens of books (plenty of which being great), Rebels being concluded, two spin-off movies on top of more saga movies, AND a new cartoon starting it's first season.

And stop pretending like the EU was flawless. I don't like Aftermath either, but this;
>for every Thawn, Tarkin and Lando, we get an Aftermath, Heir to the Jedi, Or Chewbacca.

Where in the FUCK is our nucanon game that plays just like Jedi Knight/Jedi Academy? Set it in, like, the prequel times or something if you have to make it "fit" into canon. Where is fantastic, fun game where I play as a Jedi with Force powers and a lightsaber across a variety of missions, with the option of also playing it as a fun FPS with cool Star Wars weapons?

>>93155944
>there's very little that will be able to branch off from it.

I would still say that's more Abrams's fault than anybody else's. As bad as Wendig is he just did not have anything to work with. The NR disarmed immediately and Luke's pupils all died offscreen as trainees with no notable adventures. You just flat out don't have much to work with if you're going forward from Aftermath simply because Mon Mothma is a complete retard and everyone apparently went along with it to the point of crippling their political system even independent of the military.

What the fuck kind of story can you tell? The resistance only has like half the fighters of just Yavin base TOTAL so there's no room for original characters. The first order managed to kidnap literal millions of children without being caught so everyone has to be willfully ignorant of the imperial remnant for decades on end. Shit, even just Lost Stars's ending just raises further questions because even implying there's going to be significant fighting after Jakku throws a wrench in the works.

There just is not room to write with.

But EA has been doing a piss poor job with the Star Wars brand. it's been three years and we've got half a dozen shitty mobile games, two """""'Battlefront""""""" games, and whatever the hell Visceral is up to.

By restricting the brand to only EA, it takes twice as long for games to be released and when they do get released, they aren't that good. If you think EA is handling the brand well, you clearly live under a rock.

In 2005, we got:

>Battlefront II
>KOTOR II
>two expansions to Galaxies
>Lego Star Wars
>Republic Commando
>the Revenge of the Sith tie in game

All of these games were either critically praised or at the very worst recieived mixed reviews. So don't give me shit about "it takes time"

>>93156034

If it's been three years without even a cinematic trailer then it's time to be worried. By this point just going by leaks it's looking less and less like an original game and more a cheap tie in to the Han Solo movie nobody wanted. Mocap sabers are one thing but the closest thing we have to the end result is just more stormtroopers on Mos Eisley.
