Disney and Lucasfilm may be shopping around the license for the Star Wars games franchise, that’s the rumor being floated around by a film and entertainment reporter from the website Cinelinx, who claims to have trusted sources in the industry. Supposedly, Lucasfilm and Disney are more than a little upset with EA and how they’ve handled the games. 

Accroding to multiple reports, EA has had visits from Lucas and Disney management to discuss the franchise and its possible direction. Those meetings have been more or less confirmed by a number sources. On the rumor side, is the notion that Disney and Lucas might have approached both Ubisoft and Activision to see if they might be a better fit for the future of the Star Wars franchise.

This part of the puzzle is very much unconfirmed, but it got us thinking, who would be the best bet to take over?  

We came up with a quick list of five of the developers or publishers who we’d most like to see take over the Star Wars franchise (Spoiler: Activision didn’t make the cut).

First up and in no particular order is CD Projekt Red. The Witcher series is over and Cyberpunk 2077 should either be coming out soon or not at all, so this might be the perfect time for Red to takeover Star Wars. Of course, the game would be open-world and would likely include playing some sort of card game at the Cantina. The downside is that it would probably take them at least five years to develop the game and Star Wars Episode XIII might be out by then.

Next up is Obsidian, the studio that brought you South Park: Stick of Truth, Fallout: New Vegas and of course, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II. Why Obsidian? Because we so badly want to play Kotor III and who better to make it than the ones who made one of the best Star Wars games to date.

Third on the list is Rockstar. Red Dead Redemption 2 is debuting later this year and we haven’t heard anything about a new GTA, so we’re going to assume that Rockstar has plenty of time on their hands. In this game, we imagine that you play a bounty hunter (but not a Fett), who is only peripherally involved in the core events of the Star Wars universe. You help out the Rebellion a bit, assassinate a few guys for the Empire, anything to make a quick buck.

If not Rockstar, then maybe Bethesda. This Star Wars game would be as expansive as Skyrim, as gritty as Fallout and as badass as Wolfenstein. Maybe the story revolves around Obi-Wan and all of the insane adventures he surely had that we never got a chance to see. We’re not sure. All we know is that a Bethesda Star Wars game might be the most mind-boggling thing of all time. 

Ubisoft is our last pick and for one reason only, Far Cry. A Far Cry-esque game set in the Star Wars universe sounds pretty awesome. Maybe it centers around Han Solo in his early days, dealing with galaxy’s most unsavory people, shooting first and asking questions never. Who knows? But at least it’d be better than EA’s Battlefront III: The Microtransactions Strike Back A New Microtransaction. 

Who would be your top pick to take over the Star Wars franchise from EA?
