I feel bad for Respawn as they didn't know they were making a Starwars game until pretty significantly into the development cycle

Holy shit- I KNEW IT. Do you have a source?

I had this suspicion from about 2 hours in. Game feels too empty, devoid of sentient life, to be a Star Wars game. Half of the Star Wars experience is interacting with all these whacky alien species.

So they were really just making some kind of action adventure/platformer....... without knowing it'd have a Star Wars story and skin laid over it? Ahahaha.

Hate to not use an archiver but it's 8:37 in the morning here and I'm lazy rn. It's not even a new article, but this is what actually happened. Most of this is mishandling by EA, which is nothing surprising or unusual. They've sat on this franchise and have bungled what few attempts they've made with SW ever since TOR.
