I mean it's the first time in a long time someone other than EA got the star wars licence, and they make a bland, unexciting game. I can't imagine Disney is very happy.

If it's bland and unexciting then it fits very well into Disney Star Wars and Disney should be very happy about it being so on brand.

Yeah, my understanding is Disney is partially at fault for a lot of these flops. I don't think they'd make a KOTOR or Jedi Knight game.

Wish they didn't break up Lucas Arts. What a waste of a great studio.

I dunno, I've played about 8 hours of SW:O and it's genuinely fun. It's not a crazy advancement of the genre, but not every game has to be. IMO it's a very solid open world RPG without all the usual Ubisoft BS.

No. They haven't. It's a solid ARPG with a few neat new mechanics. It's not groundbreaking, but it's really well made and fun.
