The Future of Star Wars Gaming
Reuters has an interview with LucasArts President Jim Ward up, and it goes into a good deal of depth about the present and future of Star Wars gaming. He suggests that Jump to Lightspeed is doing well commercially, mentions that there will be a Star Wars RTS in the next year or two, and again comfirms that there will be new Star Wars properties on TV. From the article: " We will have new live-action and animated TV shows over the next few years, and I think there's a bright future there for games based on these new properties as well as original Star Wars games like a new real-time strategy PC game that Petroglyph is developing for next year."
Starting with a new xmas special with full cg!
That round board game Chewie and C3P0 are playing in a new hope. To hell with the RTS, FPS, MMORPG, and whatever else I forgot.

That they're taking SWG away from Sony Online Entertainment and giving it to someone competent enough to create a playable game instead of a big 3D chat room where you have the ability to simulate killing ugly giraffe things if you want?

New Fan: How did the original trilogy die?
Oldi-Fan: An old director, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire edit and destroy the original trilogy. He betrayed and murdered your trilogy.

Great point, I too was quickly turned off of flying in battlefront because I was "Leaving the battlefield". If I had another 8-10 seconds so I could turn around it would have been nice.
Already been done.
"Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?"
"Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"
"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!"
"Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!"
And worst of all:
"Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for... sister."
How could you forget:
"That's no moon!"
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
The Stormtroopers and Tie pilots were the good guys. They were just fighting the terrorist rebel scum.
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
I want to:
- Jack X-wings.
- Go tagging around Mos Isley.
- Pimp out droid hos.
- Sell midichlori-crack to children.
- Pop caps into ewok ass.
- Collect a bevy of Sith Dominas who will rape Jar Jar repeatedly in the ass with strap-on light sabers.
- Two words: Yoda tossing.
- Have non-consensual sex with the space princess or reasonably priced sex slave of my choice.
- Roll everything I see up into a big Katamari ball, and bounce it off young Anakin's head.
- Four words: My fist, Jedi face.
- And, oh, I dunno... sex and stuff.
--- Ban humanity.

C3-PO: My Anakin, I do believe you've had one too many power converters!
R2-D2: beep-bop-boop (no kidding!)
Anakin (drunk): I can stop any time I want to.
He's right. There are still many, many colors of lightsabers that have yet to be explored. (Mauve, for instance.) Or words to which the title "Darth" has not been appended. Plus, there's that Lobot backstory I'm itching to see.
