Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order -- Lucasfilm Was Originally Resistant To The Idea

They were resistant to Fallen Order yet let something as divisive as Episode VIII happen. Sometimes Lucasfilm just don't make sense.
I wonder if my credentials as being the director of FFXVI will help me pitch a Mandalorian game?
Shit like this just makes me sad to read.
You should want to attract more people who want to make a game in your brand, not scare 'em away.

You didn't let me finish.
PLOT TWIST!!!
Palpatine emerges out of thin air and confronts the player. Guess what?! Now you're Palpatine and you must destroy all the Mandolorians!!! Muhahaha!

Well Rey technically is not Jedi either but it is most powerful lightsaber fighter in the universe XD
Her name is Rey! Spell her name right or so help me, I'll do to you what they did to Han Solo!!!
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's M̶a̶y̶b̶e̶l̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ Palpatine.

Sorry auto correct, I guess I need to stop writing Ray Tracing that often XD
Surprised they managed to get such a good story out of it with those constraints. Enjoyed the story plenty and Cal is my favorite Disney era Star Wars character.
Because disney is utterly incompetent when ti comes to star wars. More star wars games would make sense. So they can't have that.
Working with Lucasfilm sounds like a fucking nightmare. Is there a term for preemptive brain drain?
*lowers Lightsaber slowly*
Ha-ha. You're fine. I totally didn't get triggered
I wish Lucasfilm would be as protective when it comes to their movies (*cough* TROS). Fallen Order turned out to be superbly good in the end, so it's hard to say how it all influenced the final product.
I couldn't be put in charge of negotiating with Lucasfilm because the urge to just say "yeah, but you also made TROS and AOTC..." would be too great.
This isn't a bad thing. It's okay to be told no and hash it out. You have to fight for your vision. It's good for the creative process.
When you have a mandate that everything must be canon, that suddenly comes with a shit ton of caveats. Namely, you can't make a character like this:

Hey look
Its the Days Gone guy in space
Before there were tiers of canon. Now that everything is canon it's a lot scarier to make changes to lore, which is why Lucasfilm plays it so damn safe all the time and the universe is so stagnant.
Yet they have no problem giving a hack like Chris Terrio so much influence in one their mainline films... lol.
Lucasfilm's default state is resistant. Making Star Wars games is a nightmare because they have to oversee every little thing (Lucas was worse, though).
This would make more sense if stuff like Rebels which clearly shows Order 66 wasn't 100% effective (besides Obi Wan and Yoda) didn't exist
Jeez, can't you see it's the InFamous guy with glowsticks at a rave?
They're specifically terrified of making games with Jedi and Sith since these are always canon going forward. Their main movies also mainly revolve around them, so it's easy to see why they'd want to see something like bounty hunters to be used as a theme instead. At least that's what I think.
He also voices Maul and some of Palpatine. and The Son. Sam Witwer is a huge star wars fan.
And honestly would give that game a lot of leeway and freedom since there aren't a whole lot of current canon toes to step on wrt the sith. Give somebody a chance to canonize the old legends sith as well. I'd be down.
You need to take off those shades and wipe your eyes!
Thats the lead guy from that Red Dead Redemption 2 game!

Thank god.
Madness. It's obvious to everyone it's Michael Sykes from Crysis: Warhead.
In the disney era? Absolutely.
Remember, they abolished all EU Stuff and are very tightly trying to control what is considered canon and the story elements surrounding it all. Everything that carries the Star Wars name now, in any media, is probably considered canonical.
