Disney Reportedly Reviving Lucasfilm Games in Wake of EA Cancellation

I’m a games enthusiast, so if I had to guess, Disney isn’t looking to produce Star Wars games here. I’d say they are reviving the brand as the Star Wars game IP management and 3rd party relations arm. They already have this in place for Marvel games and it’s resulted in high quality output across consoles (Spider-Man PS4) and mobile.

Good. All of the Fantastic Four movies have been pretty bad. X-Men were better, but I'm forever mad at what they did with Rogue.

Two Separate Lawsuits Filed Over PeopleMover Collision Injuries at The Magic Kingdom

1) Lights usually come on in Space Mountain if the PeopleMover stops.
2) There is always a CM that goes on the intercom saying that ride vehicle bumping might occur.

I don't see these getting far. Maybe Disney settling just to get them out of the way, but I doubt an actual court case will happen.

I'm not much of a souvenir person (unlike some members of my family), but I really dig that Splash Mountain mug. Dangit.

“After the cart containing the Tregidgo Family came to a stop, it was struck from behind by a trailing cart,” the lawsuit said, which called the PeopleMover “dangerous” and “a concealed trap.”

I couldn't help it...

Honestly this give me hope as In Disney does need to take Star Wars away from EA but even if they arent takeing the reigns themselves I hope they do shop it out after 2023 to a less rush job studio

It would be nice if they just licensed it to any studio that wants it and maintained a level of quality. Like LucasArts did before. The exclusive license was just a dumb idea.
