So, WorldClassBullshitters decided to completely buck the fad infecting the Fandom Menace and a large chunk of the Star Wars community by coming out and calling the "Civil War Within Lucasfilm" narrative as a steaming pile of bullshit. People like Geeks + Gamers, Doomcock, EVS and others are riding that rumor for clickbait videos and easy rage content, but WCB decided to use their brains and remember that all of these assholes at Lucasfilm work at the same company, and that for all of the fandoms evangelizing of Filoni, he's just as much a LFL Waterboy and SJW as the people working on
The High Republic.
It's good to see
some one in this feckless horde of Filoni sycophants employing something resembling rational thought, and refusing to let the wool and empty nostalgia of
The Blandalorian blind them to the state of the franchise.
Also, Anna "ThatStarWarsGirl" got blocked by High Republic Author Cavan Scott, despite them having zero interactions whatsoever:
Heard about that. I wouldn't get too excited...it's being developed by Machine Games, the same people that ran
Wolfenstein into the ground. They might have to tone down some of their creative impulses due to the PG-13 nature of the source material, and LFL's content parameters, but I would still expect a wealth of questionable design decisions and vapid Swede PC crap that infected
New Colossus and
Youngblood.
The potential for this is massive, however. LFL has sat on the
Indiana Jones IP for almost a decade; no novels, no comic books, no new merch or video games...and I have no idea why, considering the brand doesn't have or require the same level of rigid continuity as Star Wars, and is ripe for one-shot adventures in multiple mediums. That's what made the Bantam novels and the Dark Horse comics so good...even the Young Indy TV show that everyone seems to hate (but I loved). And with the advancements of graphics, and the template provided by games like the Tomb Raider Reboot and Far Cry, there's so much that could be done with a current-gen game.
It'll probably suck, though. Guess I'll just play
Emperor's Tomb for the 8th time when the new game comes out.
