In the last link it says:
"After evaluating our position in the games market, we've decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company's risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games."
If I understand that right, as I'm honestly not sure, does that mean they're going to pretty much let other game developers bid for the right to produce Star Wars games? As a whole, I've never thought much quality has been released under the Star Wars name. And as a game developer, wouldn't you you just love to take a crack at making a Star Wars game? It could bring in some real innovation and fresh ideas/concepts to revitalise Star Wars based games.
