While this is just the rumours so far, I'll only be interested in any other Star Wars game if the main character doesnt have a lightsaber, dont include anything about Hoth and if LucasArts stop being lazy ***** and come up with a  completely original soundtrack (its already past the point of just ignoring the music, I downright hate listening to those same musics over and over again).
This. This is why Tie Fighter was good, and all the more recent stuff is bad.

Except KOTOR which made Jedis "fun" again.

And Jedi Knight because of Kyle Katarn.

Kyle isn't really a Jedi.  He's actually just a commando with Force powers.  That's why he doesn't suck.

[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

FoTG doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell to resurrect dead space sim genre, an official SW space sim by LA would. X-Wing and TIE Fighter practically started modern space sim genre.

Alas....how long will it takes for the gaming industry to come back to space sims? I mean, we know such things are cyclical. It's just a matter of time before Space Sims are in again.

How long? Depends on when someone has the balls to create a financially successful space sim. Until then I see publishers preferring to stick with games that have higher chance of income.

Unless Pop Culture conforms to Sci-Fi, Space Sims will never be "in" again.

Spacesims have a good chance on the consoles I think. Most of the modern pads come with a stick build in so no more excuse for "we don't develop them because people would have to buy a joystick" Beside that extra preriferals are in. Every game has it. Just can't wait till "Cockin' with Mom" has an "authentic cocking pod."

Anyway I agree with Zane, that pop culture has a heayv influance on what games could sell well. Just think about the Halo hipe. I mean I found the first game terrible when it came to the PC but still I was watching the news about the second and third title because everyone talked about it.

I was actually thinking more along the lines of 'If LucasArts ARE going to re-release them, how would they react to FoTG?', my concerns were more about the legal implications than the impact on the genre.

Edit: IIRC it wouldn't be the first time a resurrection of an old game has caused problems for related fan-made stuff.

Well I'm sorry to say but if I have to choose between the two, I'd choose LA any day assuming they deliver at least good product if not awesome. We have more to lose if they don't than if they shut down FotG.

I'm honestly surprised Lucasarts hasn't bit their head off.

From what I understand, Lucasfilm/LucasArts seems to be fairly okay with non-profit fan-created work set in the Star Wars universe.  There's a whole community of people who have made Star Wars fan films and released them for free, and I know at least one or two of those have actually garnered the praise of the higher-ups in the company.  With this news confirmation, I doubt LA is planning on releasing a PC-based "realistic" space sim anytime soon, so it's not like FotG would be cutting into any theoretical profits of theirs.
