    I love it when Hamill will occasionally reveal small tidbits about the production of the series.

    EA sucks, Disney needs to pull their license. Please bring back Lucas Arts to make a good Star Wars game.

    I’d love it if they took pitches from relatively smaller but proven studios and see what true inspired operations can do with the license

    Are there figures on how much Battlefront 1/2 made including microtransactions? I fucking hate the trend, obviously, but EA's job is to make $, not necessarily the best game. There was a spirited debate on this on r/gaming in a God of War post.

    I get it and hate microtransactions too, but can't they make a better game with microtransactions or make 2 types of games. Most Star Wars fans would buy both games. The last Star Wars game that was good was The Force Unleashed imo. I'm surprised EA & Disney didn't make games for The Force Awakens & The Last Jedi.

    He brings this up in “Empire of Dreams”, the entirety of which should still be on YouTube

    A highly recommended watch if you haven’t seen if

    BF2 massively under performed and EA stock has been plummeting for the last year.

    Having fun in a SW environment is the primary reason to play. The game itself is nothing special but going pew pew and other sound effects is fun immersion.

    Exactly. Defeating an enemy and hitting the perfect hero emote is the primary reason I play.

    I played the first one but have basically sworn off EA altogether.

    I'm hoping Disney re-examines their agreement soon. I would like them to choose devs on a game by game basis.

    EA is slaughtering everything it touches and living off the fact that they can put out a shit tier madden product and make bank because it's the only football game on the market.

    I’m sure this has been discussed. But, I’ve barely just now watched solo. How much older is Han than Luke and leia? Seeing [name redacted] at the end really threw me off.

    Rumor we get a teaser and a title reveal during the Super Bowl. Seems early to me.

    No that's about right.

    TFA had a teaser in like December, a year before release.
    TLJ teaser and title reveal came in January, if memory serves.

    So this is actually the latest of the three.

    I don't expect very much footage at all.

    First TFA teaser was Black Friday and iirc TLJ was April I believe

    And it’ll be a few glorified still images, which I’m more than fine with

    Saw a timeline breakdown prior to watching Solo that pointpointed it at around 10-12 BBY which I’m guessing makes Han around 10-12 years older than the Skywalker twins.

    Doubt we get even a teaser or even a title reveal during the Super Bowl. Disney May be huge, but they still have to use their advertising dollars wisely. They have like 5 huge movies in the first half of the year they need to hype up before they get to EPIX advertising. Captain Marvel, Avengers:Endgame, Live action Aladdin and Lion King, and Toy Story 4 all come out before July. If Disney is going to spend and Super Bowl commercial money, it’ll be in those movies, not Star Wars.

    A good problem to have. The selfish person in me wants to believe they’ll do SW but I can understand why they wouldn’t.

    Maybe do some sort of video collage of how much they own pop culture.

    You may be right. I was thinking the TLJ teaser came out in January and then the first big trailer hit in April. I could be wrong though and I'm too lazy to google.

    TFA teaser was definitely Black Friday. I vividly remember watching it on my phone while out that day.
