The Force Unleashed 3 is Canceled, along with several of LucasArt's other titles.

Maybe this will lead way to "actual" good Star Wars games?

I wouldn't have played the game, so I don't care about it being cancelled.
But the new president seems promising. Maybe we'll see Battlefront III, or... KotOR III?

We've also been told that another sweeping change made by Meegan is that the majority of "external" development of Lucasarts properties is coming to an end, with BioWare's Old Republic MMO to be the last game not developed internally at Lucasarts.

By "Good News", I was refereeing to the end of the Force Unleashed series (which I very much hate). I could care less about LucasArt's own mess over at their own studios.

What games (Star Wars-wise) has LA developed internally besides TFU?

Good to hear that TFU 3 is dead. Hopefully we can get some reboots of old classics and/or new IP.

Republic Commando, and Grim Fandango are two games to name. There's probably more out there, but I currently lack the technical knowledge to name them at this point.

Now, I'm not exactly sure what to think about them axing the whole external development process. Some of the best Star Wars games have been made by external developers such as Obsidian Entertainment, Raven Software, and Pandemic Studios. If they (LucasArts) axe out the prime thing that has delivered them $$$, then I sense that they will eventually go bankrupt within the next decade or so (unless they have a really good internal development staff).

Then again, I did decide to boycott anything that is made, or published by LucasArts ever since the announcement of TOR, and the release of The Force Unleashed, so I probably shouldn't say anything in this matter.

"These sources say 'morale and productivity are at all-time lows' since Meegan took over"

Sounds to me like this new president won't last till the end of the year. I knew there was something fishy about Blackman leaving right in the middle of TFUII. I'll wait to see some results before I start hating on this Meegan guy, but he'd better not screw up any possibility of a Battlefront III. Then there's the whole cutting off other developers thing, which seems like a really bad idea.

Then again, these are just rumors...

None since the late 90s, save TFU. And TFU was rubbish. They just don't have the resources to develop a game anymore. The company has changed. They're more concerned with the easy sell than quality product. And it doesn't help that everyone has lost faith in them, either.

The general gaming population generally facepalms or groans when another crummy Star Wars game is announced. Although TOR (not internal though) seems to be anticipated...

Whatever way Meegan's operating the company, I'm positively sure that it isn't any worse then the previous president of LucasArts; who, by the way, was a complete, and utter idiot who cannot run a cooperation properly. In fact, he's one of the main reasons why TOR (The Old Republic) exists, seeing how he helped financed it.

Yeah, and when it comes out, people will eventually find out the rubbish quality it'll contain. :P

Aside from Republic Commando being horrible, most of it wasn't developed by LucasArts.

I don't know if this is good news.

I would prefer TFU3 over the endless Clone Wars games and TOR.

Bounty Hunter was published and developed by LA in '02. There seem to be some fans of that one.

I think LucasArts is capable of making good games. They just need to work on the right IP.
