Klytus writes "As seen at GamingReport.com: 'A disturbance in the force seems set to take hold next summer, as news of Wizards of the Coast's plans to release their Star Wars Collectible Miniatures Game has surfaced. To debut August of 2004, the first set is to include prepainted figures from the classic era of The Star Wars Saga (episodes IV, V, VI).' Now I have to make room amongst my SW action figures..." There's more info and some packaging shots on a messageboard thread at the Creation Matrix gaming site.
Um. Star Wars has existed in role playing game for for quite some time, done by West End Games and more recently Wiards of the Coast. In fact, KotOR is somewhat based on the Wizards d20 game (very loosely).
Heck, there's been mini based games before as well.
There's nothing new here. More licensing money for LucasArts... this on top of the games, rpg books, trading card games, action figures, clothing, models, lego sets and all the other stuff.
