With LucasArts ending its exclusive Star Wars publishing deal with EA, it means that the brand is back on the open market with a bevy of talented developers and publishers eager to do their take on the material.
The first official post-divorce match-up is with Ubisoft, announcing they are doing an epic story-driven, open-world game set in a galaxy far far away, with development being done by Massive Entertainment.
Even if that's all the information we have, we can assess several positives. We have never had a proper open-world Star Wars games...with the KOTOR series coming to the closests, yet character-building RPG elements took precedent over mass exploration.
