Whats Going On Guys This Is Ryan With

dark’ outpost and when I saw this article today, I knew I kind of had to talk about it actually a couple people tagged me in it. After I’d already seen the article, but thank you guys so much. I appreciate that the heads up on Twitter is really appreciated but Star Wars Jedi fallen order Lucasfilm was originally resistant to the idea and here’s why and as I was reading This it just reminded me of how much I miss Lucas arts and how Disney or sorry how Star Wars used to handle videogames at how much different it is now that Disney is in charge and we’ll get into all that but let’s look at this first Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order was released in November to mostly positive reviews and strong sales numbers, but the game’s success was not. Always a sure thing Game Director stick s Mucin said in a new interview that Lucasfilm, which controls the Star Wars franchise was originally resistant to his pitch for the game. In early meetings, The Lucasfilm team suggested that respawned go in a different direction and make a game using Blasters instead of lightsabers.

The Reason Being Was That Lucas

was very protective of Jedi in particular, he said they weren’t super comfortable with the idea. This initial pitch for a melee focused action game I pitched hey what if we make a game about a Jedi in force powers and they were not super comfortable at that they threw a back and said what about Blasters and bounty hunters that’s not the background of the team. We’ve built you might as well ask or you might as well ask me and us to start building a racing game at. This point, I don’t think anybody’s going to be happy with the results of that what I came to learn from them. Jedi is the Holy Grail to make a game about Jenna you got to earn it.

There Was A Bit Of Back-And-Forth, But

they could see where I was coming from now. You know I do understand that to a point, but they’re not hesitant to do it that that’s. The reason that Jedi would be off-limits for me is because the era where you set it in I’ve played Jedi fall in order full disclosure. I haven’t played it all the way through it’s it’s lacking a little bit of story for me. I wish.

There Was A Little More Story

involved between the missions, but a lot of people really enjoyed it. I do really like the gameplay and as far as games from Disney-owned Lucasfilm. really enjoy it? But you have to begin this problem of another time where it’s set in between another survivor of the JEdi purge. It’s like how many of these people are you gonna cram into this era that actually happened to survive and tell that story it just gets a little old, a little stale, so I I hear where maybe some of their resistance could have been. However, you said why not a game with blasters and bounty hunters you canceled a perfect game.

You Cancelled Star Wars 1313, Which Is

going to be incredible and now you want to come back and do that again. It’s not surprising that you’ve changed your mind with the lack of leadership there at Lucasfilm, but let’s continue on later in the interview as Mucin mentioned that the respawn in Lucas home and numerous fights about creative decisions regarding JEdi fallen. order he said he understands Lucasfilm’s position being the rights owner of Star Wars series. He also said recalled that Lucasfilm came back to him with a hard no on several different ideas. He said his team at Respawn became frustrated at times, but again he said he understood the Lucasfilm had the final say he said Lucasfilm was ultimately agreeable to the idea of Respawn making a game with the character who can use the force, but is not a Jedi and that’s what the team ended up making the game’s main character Kal Custis is a force.

Usually Becomes A Jedi In The Course Of

the game, and I don’t know why they’d be so hesitant to making him an actual date. It’s not like they care about continuity. It’s not like Lucasfilm gives two shits about continuity and cannon they switch it every time every time. I movie comes out every time a new comic book comes out. They have to shift their gears and figure out how they’re going to explain this one How are they gonna explain this away.

So It Is Strange That They Did That

at the resistance, but it reminded me of what it was like before all these games that we had in development from Lucas arts before, like I said at the beginning, Not all of them were perfect games or anything but there were so many really good games coming out all the time because they weren’t afraid and it was all connected. It was all this cohesive story that all tied into the Star Wars Expanded Universe imagine that imagine that actually telling a story, but you see a lot of the UK games initially weren’t even Star Wars games it was some of their other properties. Really until Super Star Wars and the Star Wars X-wing games now if you haven’t played the X-wing games on UK They are really dated. They came out in the mid-90s, but there’s still a ton a ton of fun, a great flight simulator that really got me into it and it’s kind of based off if you enjoy the Rogue Squadron X-wing book series you’ll really enjoy those video games because a lot of the mechanics and how you play and how your shields work and how you can link your lasers it all lines up and then you had a couple things you had a lot of things for the the Super Nintendo then you had where I wanted to find it so bad you obviously had dark forces dark forces-where is the one I’m really looking for Star Wars Rogue Squadron. I think that’s.

One For The 64 Maybe God I Freaking

love that so much I love Star Wars Rogue Squadron. It’s great game and you look at that that came out 98. So did X-wing Alliance Phantom Menace comes out the next year. You have these racing games but then you get into the early 2000s. You have Star Wars Starfighter.

You Have Another Rogue Squadron Game

You have Jedi Knight-Jedi Outcast you have bounty Hunter Oh my gosh Bounty Hunter is one of my favorite games of all time. I’ve actually been doing a playthrough kind of on pause Right now but God I love that game you had Knights of the Old Republic you had Kotor you had Jedi Academy so Jedi Knight 3 Effectively. These are all within a couple years of each other. Then you have star Wars battlefront In 2004. You have Kotor 2 in.

  • lucasfilm
  • jedi
  • lucas
  • lightsabers
  • battlefront

2004 The Revenge Of The Sith

video game So much stuff right one after another Battlefront 2 Empire at war and then you had a little bit of a break in the late 2000s to get ready for slow tour, which was a huge project that is still going now. It’s still producing expanded universe content not a lot of people talk about that, but it does not tie in to the Disney movies. It’s a separate license when that license runs out you know we’ll see what happens but here’s that Star Wars 1313 that I was talking about you’re supposed to play as a young Boba Fett Oh my gosh that would have been wonderful but you know Disney came in bought everything destroyed Lucas Arts cancelled it and now we are where we are today, but you know reading that just made me think of all the mistakes along the way and how they’re so hesitant to do anything and how they even fought with Respawn I wonder how much better this game could have been Jedi fall in order if they’d actually let Respawn do what they wanted to do. Instead of this strict strict control over what they were allowed to do and what they weren’t and I wonder how involved the story group was that’s the other thing. With these other video games, the story group for Lucasfilm was so heavily involved in the crafting of this tale and making sure that everything worked with everything else.

This One Maybe Thats Why They

didn’t want him to be a Jedi, so they wouldn’t have to do that so wouldn’t have to worry about that so much about any of the continuity repercussions but again this is Disney Lucasfilm, so it shouldn’t really come as a surprise that that they almost screwed it up. They almost ruined the best game that they’ve had come out because of their tinkering, but I guess let me know what you think in the comments below. This was kind of more an excuse to talk about all the UK games that I loved and that I still play that I’ll enjoy way more than the current batch of Star Wars games now battlefront. 2 The New Battlefront 2 I’ve actually played a little bit of recently. It’s way better than it was before, but but still when you look at everything that came before it.
