LucasArts Layoffs Spark Many Rumors, Including KOTOR 3
It seems that LucasArts has laid off somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 employees, sparking all sorts of interesting leaks and rumors. Chief among the rumors seems to be another carrot in the chase for the LucasArts/Bioware MMO project, which according to one employee, will take the shape of KOTOR 3. "Most interesting, however, is the information they provide on how the layoffs leave the company severely short-staffed as they approach a packed development schedule, one which it appears may be increasingly outsourced. Some of the titles they report LucasArts apparently have in this stacked pipeline, whether as publisher or developer, include: KOTOR 3, Battlefront 3, 'The Official Indiana Jones' game, another LEGO based game based on the Indy universe, and 'a lightsaber game for the Wii.'"
You get to play as an aging Han Solo who finds an artifact and meets aliens..........wait........redundant?
Double bladed lightsaber?
The triple bladed light-saber gives a closer shave.
You can make your own now, just strap a bunch of LEDs to a Wiimote and run around hitting people.
Fuck everything, we're doing five blades.
I got a bad feeling about this. Fixed that for you.
When the inevitable happens and a disgruntled former employee goes berzerk when told he is laid off and is then shot by a security guard, you can bet George Lucas will edit the security cam footage to make it appear disgruntled worker shot first.

Yes, violating a cannon is only one of the ways to take liberties with it. But be careful that someone doesn't fire the cannon while you're violating it, or you just might find out how much bigger one of its balls is than yours.
