This means that say Lego wants to make a Star Wars game, then LucasArts would give them permission or a license to do so. All of LucasArt's current projects have been cancelled which includes and are not limited to: Star Wars 1313 and Star Wars: First Assault(Battlefront 2.5) If any of you thought CWA was in danger before. Well, now it is definitely on thin ice. When I first heard this news, I thought CWA was in peril, but now I think that LucasArts will still allow SOE to hold the licensing for CWA. But I agree, CWA is now in more peril. This means they won't receive any funds from LucasArts. That most likely means smaller updates, there will be more SC Items, and SC Items will cost more so SOE can get enough money to keep the game running and still make a profit.
