Then again, the game was at 95% completion, before it was scrapped...
I don't see why they had to scrap it...but hey, whatever works.
It's likely they do own the rights to it and are simply choosing not to do anything with it. This has been a long time coming but man... that video did give me some feels. We're long overdue for a free flight Star Wars space game and I think it's a wide open market. There really aren't any big fighter pilot style games at the moment.
IMO, giving the rights to EA (BioWare) was inevitable. There really aren't many, if any, other companies in a position to effectively market the Star Wars IP. BioWare did a fantastic job with KoTOR and a passable job with SWTOR. Unfortunately, the best parts about SWTOR made it a terrible MMO. If they had released it as a single player it would have been fantastic and everything fans wanted. It has a compelling story, beautiful graphics, and leveling mechanics that make it fairly fun to go from 1-50 all over again.
Side note, was that a Chiss Jedi?!? what the pineapple...
The entire Star Wars universe is in limbo until Episode VII, but I hope this will mean we have a lot more SW games in the future. Some of them may even live up to expectations.
