8 Star Wars Video Game Franchises EA Should Reboot

8. Galactic Battlegrounds

Is real-time strategy really a dead genre, or is its absence more down to a shrinking pool of qualified developers? Age of Empires and Halo Wars are the only big-name base building strategy series still going this decade, but it needn't be that way. In fact, EA alone has the power to give the underrepresented genre a new lease on life, not just via a long-overdue revival of Command & Conquer, but with Star Wars, too.

In light of Westwood and Victory Games' premature closures, EA would need to seek outside assistance for a follow-up to Galactic Battlegrounds, but there's no reason it can't pull a Microsoft and request a loan from Sega in the form of Creative Assembly. It's presumptuous to presume such a partnership, but it's not without precedent, and if any studio is clued in on how to make a modern RTS work, it's the Total War developer.

Who knows, if manufacturing legions of AT-AT walkers in the pursuit of Imperial domination proved popular, it might even give EA the proof it needs to consider resurrecting C&C. A man can dream.
