Why why oh lordy I ask why doesn't Lucas Arts care that this game, SOE and the utter arrogance and apathy they constantly display towards thier players old and new is not doing the Star Wars license any good at all!?

I mean, of all franchises, of all pop-culture icons, how can George Lucas allow this to happen to the one that made him king? The game is not canon, it changes every year, it's currently losing subscribers new and old no matter what the latest spin from SOE's PR department says. All those things sum to one thing, a series of bad decisions and a temporary loss of what the "Ultimate Star Wars Experience" really is. It's not playing yet another game where you are given a lightsabre and led around like a mindless drone through a pre-set path, it's playing whatever it is that was in every fan's head all these years without some hapless market-driven game developer getting in the way.

George, show up at SOE's offices with the can of whoop-ass that only you can carry and make it right.

I'm going to go re-arrange my clone trooper action figures now.
