Sad news in gaming , the games StarWars 1313 and StarWars First Assault are now vaporware , and as they shift from a development corp. to a IP distribution system, they have pink slipped 150 Lucas Arts employees in the game division.

With Disney now helming the company , the handwriting was on the wall , commercial flops like Force Unleashed 2 , and the Old Republic represent the demise of the house that George built.
For the bright side , with a new emphasis on licensing to other development interests, this could be the ideal time for FarSight to go after Indiana Jones Pinball , and Star Wars .
The rich history of Lucas Arts goes back to the Atari 2600 and intelivision era , and was one of the earliest 3rd party companies on consoles .
Shadow of the Empire 64 anyone? Jedi Arena ?
Unknown is how this might affect Zen Pinball 2 StarWars .
