"Ask any fan of Star Wars: There’s a new Moff in town. Although Disney acquired LucasArts on October 30, 2012, Disney has made some sweeping changes gradually, such as cancelling the long-running Cartoon Network television show, The Clone Wars, as well as the upcoming live-action comedy Detours in mid March. Now, after over five months, Disney executed Order 66 on their recently acquired videogames studio, LucasArts, and its 150 employees.

This has been sad news for fans of Star Wars TV, but it’s even worse for fans of videogames, who had been anticipating the tactical game Star Wars: First Assault, as well as Star Wars 1313, a third-person action adventure that would have been a darker, grittier look at the universe that gave us Ewoks. But all is not lost."

It makes you wonder why they would do this? Lucasarts is a money maker and would gain more profilt for Disney. I really don't see any sense in shutting Lucas Arts down...sad day indeed.

they didn't made good games since a long time, but when one of the company that made video games history close it's always a sad news, even more for all the guys like me who enjoyed their adventures games back in the 90's

1313 looked like it could be a great game, I really hope they outsource it to studio that can make it awesome...
