Johnson’s appointment as Star Wars’ new steward came after several setbacks. The company has already committed Johnson to another entire trilogy of his own design, entrusting the director with one of the most well-protected universes in media.
But it’s also the debut of Rian Johnson’s vision for Star Wars, which Disney needs fans to get behind. First off, it’s the second in the new trilogy those films are historically a turning point for the series.
There’s a lot riding on the next Star Wars movie, Star Wars : The Last Jedi. Because Disney’s put a whole bunch of money into this series, and there’s no way anyone is going to ruin it for them. It was more surprising that the publisher did so at the eleventh hour, informing players that it would deactivate the option to buy currency at launch as it figured out how to retool the microtransactions.īut if we consider who owns Star Wars, none of this is surprising at all. It was surprising that EA, after several meager defenses that only riled up people further, caved to consumer pressures to change Battlefront 2’s paid economy. Instead, Star Wars Battlefront 2 - and its publisher, Electronic Arts - became the embodiment of what fans see it as the industry’s most egregious issue: confusing, expensive loot crates. With both a big game and a new film installment due out just weeks apart, the franchise should have hit a fever pitch of positive hype and anticipation. The Star Wars franchise has had a hell of a week.
