How do you think this will impact TOR?

Thank god.

Let's be real, the last few game titles the company has put out have been complete trash. Disney did the right thing, in killing off a what had become a bad product. I was tired of playing lame Star Wars games to be honest.

It will not affect TOR, if it does, I will be really shocked.

1313 is stalled, has been for a while. In the end it will see the light of day sooner or later.

Disney likes money.

Star Wars = Money.

Nuff said.

I'm not sure trading out a game for a new trilogy of movies would classify as "getting fucked".

Nobody got fucked. Lucasarts was shifted into a clearing house for IP licensing years ago. They were failing as a publisher, and had barely a scratch of their original appearance as a developer.

The remaining staff will be part of the licensing team. Still rough that a lot of folks lost their drops due to a lot of issues that I blame on their pre-Disney management.
