Hi Josh, Based on my personal experience calling Lucas Film, Lucas Arts, etc about licensing the Star Wars trademark commercially is a lost cause. We are quite frankly beneath them, and unless you have a company like Hasbro or Activision behind you they aren't even going to give you the time of day. Our only choice is to create free open source games, and hope they ignore us.
In fact, that's pretty much what I will do as soon as MOTA is complete. I've decided to eventually make accesssible remakes of Star Wars Dark Forces, Dark Forces II, Mysteries of the Sith, and Jedi Outcast simply because I loved those games and Lucas can go jump in a river. I shouldn't have to put my own enjoyment and happiness aside because some greedy fortune 500 company doesn't want to be reasonable and share the Star Wars trademark or accessible games with a minority group who can't see to play their official games.
