It was bad news in 2013 and we were right. Let Obsidian develop a new KOTOR. I don't care if it's canon or not. We want a real KOTOR III.

That was my hope in the aftermath of the Battlefront II debacle, EA losing the Star Wars license.

Consumer revolts work if consumers actually stick to their guns.

Makes you wonder how much detail in company would be willing to go to to make a new game? Could you imagine getting approval for a RPG?

They want someone to develop and publish games. However they are allowed to have zero creative control, and every step has to be approved by the Disney team. Who can say no?

I'd like to see what Rocksteady could do with the Star Wars properties.

Based off the new movies with casinos and Solo looking like it will be a little gangster - my vote is for Rockstar now.

Just imagine GTA - Outer Rim
