Lucasfilm praises recent Star Wars games

Lucasfilm has expressed satisfaction with the recent Star Wars games, indicating a positive outlook for the franchise's future in gaming.

Success of new titles boosts confidence

The recent success of Star Wars Jedi and the games Zero Company and Galactic Racer has contributed to this positive outlook, showing strong reception from players and critics alike.

Lucasfilm seeks diverse game concepts

According to Douglas Reilley, who manages Lucasfilm Games, the company is open to a variety of concepts for Star Wars games and plans to make the license "more flexible" in terms of game development.

Collaboration with experienced teams prioritized

Reilley emphasized that while the quality bar is set high, collaboration with experienced teams is preferred over newer, less experienced ones, ensuring consistency and excellence in game production.

Opportunities for smaller developers

Lucasfilm is also open to discussions with smaller developers, aiming to "surprise the public" with original ideas that might not be possible with larger studios.

End of EA exclusivity opens new paths

Previously, the Star Wars license was exclusively managed by Electronic Arts, but that deal has now ended, allowing for new opportunities with other studios and a broader range of creative input.
