More Star Wars Games To The Xbox 360 Are Coming, Yes...
..Or something like that. Whenever I try to talk like Yoda I end up sounding like one of the neighbors from King of the Hill. But Yoda, in any event, would be way too cool to celebrate the good news that Lucasarts is bringing both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars Battlefront franchises to the Xbox 360. Quoth LucasArts global sales and marketing VP Nancy MacIntyre on Next-Gen.biz:
“We’ve also got Star Wars franchises like Knights of the Old Republic and Battle Front that we will not leave behind. It’s very important to us that we grow those franchises.” So the future of Star Wars includes new and old game-based IP as well as IP based on other spin-offs. Star Wars 07 will be a new brand, but MacIntyre says there will be no ‘core’ Star Wars branded games. This game will sit alongside KOTOR and Battle Front.
I’m unclear as to whether that means we’ll be seeing upgraded ports of the existing KotOR and Battlefront games (I suppose a restored version of KotOR II is out of the question?), or if LucasArts intends to bring a third game to each franchise. I would definitely sign up for KotOR III, and either way the 360 needs some RPG lovin’. All this, of course, is in addition to that new “Star Wars 07” brand MacIntyre danced around…exciting! I’ll give that game a try, too. Wait, there is no try: I’ll give that game a do, too.
F*ck Yoda, man.

People seem to give Luke an inordinate amount of crap. Yeah, he was kinda whiney in the first movie, but in Empire and Jedi he turns into a major league ass-kicker.
I don’t see anyone else in the Star Wars series taking out an AT-AT on foot, do you?
It runs in the family Shin. Just look at Anakin and tell me he isn’t the biggest crybaby…
I try to pretend that the prequels (and the Special Edition versins of the original trilogy) don’t exist. When I was a kid, what I imagined the Clone Wars were about and what they were like was a LOT cooler than what Lucas came up with.
He does a LOT of whining in the second movie. I mean, granted some of it happens when he loses an arm, but still.
It’s better to pretend the 3 prequels were never made…. I think to get them made properly you’d have to kidnap Lucas and replace some part of his body with a gland that secretes THC, because that’s the only explanation I can come up with for the difference in quality between the movies he made in the late 70’s to early 80’s and the movies he made with grey hair.
