Obsidian CEO would "love" to pitch new 'Star Wars' idea to Disney
Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart has stated that he's got a new Star Wars concept that he would "love" to pitch to Disney.
An email sent to Eurogamer, Urquhart stated;
“I had seen the news about LucasArts which was sad to see. LucasArts was a great supporter of Obsidian when we were first starting out and many of their games are ones I, personally, count as favourites.
“As for Obsidian pitching a Star Wars game, or games for that matter, we would love to. Getting to work within the Star Wars world was a tonne of fun and it would be great to get to do so again.”
Disney's purchase of LucasFilm included the LucasArts video game studio. Disney doesn't think LucasArts played a role between their new vision for the Star Wars universe. “As for Obsidian pitching a Star Wars game, or games for that matter, we would love to. Getting to work within the Star Wars world was a tonne of fun and it would be great to get to do so again.”
We'll see what comes of it.
