The Game Devs That Could Save Star Wars -- CLS Side Quest
1,099Under EA's guidance, Star Wars video games have been a collective disappointment, and the world-famous IP deserves better, especially in the wake of some tepidly-received films. Thing is, we have a collective need to think big, think blockbuster, and think expensive when it comes to Star Wars. But what if the Star Wars Games Universe explored the entire gamut of genres, studio sizes, budgets, and experiences? To get our minds running, here are seven studios that could make seven unique Star Wars experiences -- a fighting game, a stealth game, an arcade game, and the like -- to enrich a fictional universe that could desperately use some TLC.
