A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away EA acquired the rights to publish Star Wars video games and in turn made the fantasies of gamers, movie fans, and self-professed geeks come to life. If such a thing occurred nearly a decade ago, back when EA was looked upon as a conglomeration of evil not unlike the Imperial Army, this news would've been one of disappointment, but now it’s a reality and actually good news all considered.

Disney may have absolutely no plans to push the Star Wars video game franchise in the way we want, yet the company is still giving it a shot when it comes to all things that fall under the magical kingdom.  Earlier this year we saw Disney enter the video game arena once more with perhaps their most ambitious effort: Disney Infinity.

Star Wars fans may be none too pleased today, not just because of the closure of LucasArts and the subsequent cancellation of unreleased games, but because Star Wars 1313 was set to be a Boba Fett game. 

Despite the Fett family having a shaky video game history thanks to the kind of fun/kind of dreadful Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, LucasArts was ready to give the video game treatment to Boba Fett in a massive action game.

Likely ending up to be the most befuddling announcement made this year, barring of course we get another $599 moment from Sony, Disney has revealed that Epic Mickey is once again returning.

A single tear may be running down the face of Star Wars fans upon seeing the first, and possibly only, footage of Star Wars: First Assault.  Revealed mid last year through a trademark registration, First Assault has been speculated about wildly only for us to finally get a sense of what the game was when it appeared in a XBLA listing.  Since then we’ve only heard bad, though in a depressing sort of way, news about First Assault and this new gameplay trailer serves a

Even though it’s one of the most recognizable and popular franchises in the world, Star Wars simply can’t catch a break when it comes to the world of video games.  After starting out strong in the mid 1990s, the Star Wars franchise has slowly declined in recent years through a derth of interesting releases. Now there's another disturbance in the Force which could result in yet another Star Wars being cancelled.

Disney Unveils The Imagination Driven Experience Of Disney Infinity

Today is one of the rare times I wish I could visit the offices of Activision brass as I’m sure the company is in a conniption fit over the reveal made by Disney today.  No, Disney didn’t go on yet another massive purchase spree along the lines of gobbling up Marvel and LucasFilm, but the house Mickey Mouse built did reveal a new game that essentially takes the Skylanders formula to the next level; hence Bobby Kotick is probably in full-on evil Sith Lord mode.
