So much for a first decent SW game (1313) since JKII.... I bet Disney is preparing another turd for kinect kids

Now that was a shock to me. I really didn't expect lucasarts to go down!

It's backlashing against ILM, too:

Well LucasArts *technically* still exists, just not as a production Company.

In Response to this, Raven Software released the source code for Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy

I love game code for developer comments, someone also already compiled all the lines with the word 'fuck' in them

this was in the AI Source code for Boba Fett

This makes no sense to me. They're doing this because they want to reduce "risk". They belong to DISNEY! The same company that's stupid enough to make movies like Cars 2. Ugh.

You need to watch the vid released today by totalbiscuit, he brings up quite a few interesting points.

Totally didn't expect this at all. Would be nice to know what First Assualt was going to be though. Good on Raven for releasing the code to give those games their second wind. Funny that I get Jedi Academy for x-mas and now me and everyone else that has it will be able to enjoy the missions over again with all the different versions that will nodoubt be coming our way in the next few years.

Rumor I heard was that it was going to be similar to Battlefront.

Rumor also has it that it was going to be a "testing the waters" kind of thing to see if people still wanted Battlefront 3. You know, this could be a blessing. The last two games LucasArts did were Force Unleashed 2(great gameplay, but disappointing on most counts) and Kinect Star Wars(need I go on?).

Eh... anyone remembers Dark Forces mod for Jedi Academy ??? that was something

and those hours .... oh my, those DAYSSS spent on playing my first PC game ever - DARK FORCES, damn, brings tears to my eye

I wish that mod is going to speed up with source code

086gf · « **Reply #131 on:** April 19, 2013, 03:38:01 PM »

Its official, the sequel trilogy movies will be released every other year starting in 2015. In the years between and for every year after for the forseeable future there will be spin-off films.

Disclaimer: The Narrator is the Narrator for the Channel, not the show. This is from the same people who made The Clone Wars

Vortex · « **Reply #133 on:** October 08, 2013, 09:26:19 AM »

Well, the narrator for the channel sucks.

Still pissed that they cancelled The Clone Wars. It looked like they were finally going to go back to some Yoda and Plo Koon stories. Rebels should be interesting, though.

Behind the Scenes

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #135 on:** October 26, 2013, 11:19:36 AM »

so for the last 3 Wednesdays they've been releasing the original episodes 4,5,6 Teaser trailers on the Star Wars Youtube Page.

Next week I BELIEVE is the 1 year Anniversary of the Disney LucasFilm Merger

Will I be overly optimistic for Episode 7 news next week?

Darkthunder · « **Reply #136 on:** October 26, 2013, 03:54:04 PM »

Episode 7 screenplay is being written/re-written by Lawrence Kasdan, who also wrote the screenplay for Episodes 5 and 6.

So 2 members of the R2-D2 Builders Club have been hired as part of the Creature Effects team

captain_obvious · « **Reply #138 on:** November 20, 2013, 07:35:39 AM »

Anyone else taking part in that open casting?
