It's not Luke. It's some random snowspeeder pilot who kamikazes into the AT-AT. (It's in the novelisation, and I always wondered why the film didn't include it.)

Yeah, you're right. I was half watching it earlier and didn't pick up on it.

The art in The Storms of Crait feels like a step up from what's in the main series
Or maybe I'm artblind and it's bad as the rest, if not even worse

I'm guessing that Han is based off the Solo actor which is why it looks nothing like Harrison Ford?
Well, if nothing else, at least the stories are interesting even if the art is not

That Han is a direct tracing from ANH. The scene where he is saying he doesn't believe in religion or whatever

Seriously. GIS "Han Solo hokey religion" and it's like the tenth image.

Rumor: “Star Wars” Games May Ditch EA

quote:

Now a new rumor is circulating suggesting that EA may be on the verge of losing their licensing agreement for “Star Wars” games. Cinelinx reports that Lucasfilm is unhappy with the current arrangement and are allegedly looking at other studios to potentially take over the licensing deal – with feelers out to both Activision and Ubisoft to possibly replace EA.

It'd be better if they didn't do exclusive with one studio. Honestly if they remade some of their older games with modern game design elements, I think most fans would be happy. Really just want a new Rogue Squadron and a new Jedi Knight.

Just scroll up a bit...?

I think Bungie circa 2007 could nail a Star Wars game. And with how good Destiny 2 gunfeel is that would be nice... too bad there's no content in that game

Destiny made it apparent that the only thing Bungie is competent at these days is the shooty parts.

The last Star Wars games LucasArts had made before Disney bought Lucasfilm were Lego Star Wars, Kinect Star Wars and Angry Birds Star Wars anyway.

I think the last big Star Wars game they made that had an original narrative was Force Unleased 2 in 2010.

Platinum's licensed games under Activision weren't up to Platinum's normal standard of quality. But that's Activision's fault. I'm certain they'd knock a Star Wars game out of the park, given enough budget and time. But I'd rather them do their own thing.

Yeah, in a "I can't believe they kept filming the scene" kind of way. They must have had to show George proof that, "Nope, this scene just isn't going to work."

I imagine the hope was they could make it work through very tight editing and showing as little of the creatures as necessary, but it just wasn't feasible for how involved the scene was.
