It's a bummer but let's be honest, what was the last good game they actually developed in-house? I think the licenses have great potential, and some of the older franchises would be great to see revived, but that can still happen, just with other studios. In my opinion Lucasarts as an actual development and production studio stopped being exciting several years ago. Still, sad to see it go, if only for nostalgia's sake.

I guess so, but it's sad to see the old stalwart go. Loved the SW games when they were fresh so it probably is just nostalgia ::)
