You can't spell Star Wars without EA.... wait..

A month or two ago I blogged that Disney (the new owners of everything Star Wars) was shutting down LucasArts. Not only did this leave everyone who played Grim Fandango or X-Wing vs Tie Fighter a little sad and wistful but it left everyone wondering what the future held.

Today we learned a bit about that future of Star Wars on your Play-Cubes and X-Stations. Disney has announced that EA would published and develop new Star Wars titles until.. oh I don't know... until Disney buys EA I guess. This is sort of a double edged sword. EA is pretty hated in the hardcore gaming circles I pretend to run in but as much as you might hate some of their business practices, it's hard to argue that they don't make some kick ass games. I'm not going to lie, the second I heard EA I got a nerd boner over the idea of a Star Wars first person shooter made by the same developers that made Battlefield.

If nothing else this will give net nerds two big companies to be angry at if the next Star Wars game is underwhelming.

Oh yeah and just for fun, here's a few minutes of Battlefront 3, a game you'll never get to play now that they've ripped the copper wire out of the old LucasArts offices.
