Wait...WHAT!?!? 1313 was cancelled??
That game had so much potential.
"Postponed" but I think thats code for cancelled.

Disney, and Lucasfilm are all heartless corporations, just like the rest of the movie making companies.
I think the greatest crime of the cancellation may be that we'll never see some of these great original characters again.
Nicely put.pretty much, part of irony of the stories of the Skywalker's, is they told the story's of Lucas respectively.
Luke learns to forgive his father and lose his baggage achieving success through the human spirit rather than technology. Kind of like Lucas defying the Guild and dreading becoming his father.
Anakin is a boy that is praised with potential he can't seem to live up to, and in his pursuit of securing his family and his career he loses both, becoming the souless machine he'd been fighting all along. Kind of like how Lucas created a studio of his own and devoted his life to Star Wars and ultimately lost his wife and became one of those corporate big shots he'd had to fight to get his vision out there.

development hell. oh well, can't say i'm as bummed as when battle front 3 never came.
Awwwww why did you have to go and bring that up?!
I still hold out hope...one day...one day...
I take it yall haven't heard of the new FPS game Star Wars: First Assault? Footage leaked yesterday and its basically gonna be Battlefront. Slated for Spring of this year.

Admit it though, Disney owns Marvel. No way are they gonna let it slide under Dark Horse forever. I'm sort of under the impression that the PT era, including TCW, and the OT are all that matters now. Soon enough disney will move comic rights to Marvel, and stop any further EU novels, at least those extending beyond the OT timeline, and start their "new EU" to tie in the gaps between films and such. I honestly think if Disney really intends all these spin-offs and possibly another trilogy after the ST is done, we won't really have room for an EU outside of animated projects and video games. Lucas always said the novels weren't "his Star Wars", so I think Disney is finally stepping in and making it "their Star Wars." I have my doubts we see even half of the print/eBook material as we have now ever again, unless Disney gives the franchise a break in another ten-twenty years.I think all current projects are getting screwed over it seems. The books and comics seem unaffected for the moment....

No I know what you mean. I personally, even as a huge SW fan, have only read a fraction of the EU novels, comics, etc. Money pretty much prevents that so Wookiepedia has enlightened me on what I've missed. I hated concepts like Jacen walking back in time and Chewie dying in an epically stupid way. However, a lot of things I liked too, on the whole Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn and all the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games. Lumiya was mostly cool. And I loved Boba Fett in the EU.Probably not but I'd rather have more movies and animated features than endless EU, plus the Clone Wars has been changing EU for some time now. It's nothing new. Keep in mind though just how much crap is in the EU, most of it is exceptionally bad to mediocre with only a few being very well done. It's not a huge loss in my book.
Man, I was really looking forward to that. Filoni said it'd be a big deal when Boba came back, and it was suppose to show him putting his personal mando armor/gear together. Heh, now all we have is him all tied up, and left for that fat alien thanks to Ventress.I didn't realize the 1313 game had been canned as well.
I also just realized, no "Boba will return with a vengeance!" arc that Filoni talked about, and no more on Bo-Katan.
I'd just like to see the battle on the ground level of Coruscant is all. I suppose they could say Ahsoka's arc did have an ending and since technically she'd no longer be in the actual Clone Wars and that the next time we see her will be a spin-off of her life after she walks away from the Jedi Order. Ventress is working as a bounty hunter, so like Cad Bane, Hondo and Embo I just see it as her future lying in the underworld ala Boba Fett. Maul is the biggest loose end IMO.

That said, I'll never get around to reading a lot of it so I can't say I'll miss a lot, but there are parts I hope can stick around.
Oh man, i'd forgotten that was the last time we saw BobaHeh, now all we have is him all tied up, and left for that fat alien thanks to Ventress.

Well look at it this way, at least you have hope of seeing that with a Boba Fett spinoff movieWhat I would've given to see this in action
Things like Chewie's death could be rewritten entirely and I don't think anyone will complain too much.
