Great short video with actual footage from Jim Sterling.
Interesting what could have been in the game, specially the different races.

EA... EA..... The gift that keeps on giving.


Lock it inside a loot box if old.

Couldn't this be something they worked on and then it got shut down by Disney?

Man, I'd forgotten about all the helmet-less stormtroopers in the last one. Is that still a thing? Only played the campaign in 2. Talk about shitting on canon. Good lord that was stupid.

One: EA Said no only to extreme customization like pink or white Vader. They actually said that they're working with Lucas to introduce some canon-friendly customization. No surprise Sterling doesn't mention it, as it doesn't fit his narrative.

Bringing the extreme example of pink Vader and then saying that more limited customization is possible is very different from just saying "people wouldn't want pink Vader," period.

It's saying "we can't do too much, but we can probably do something" instead of saying "we can't do customization, and I'll throw in a strawman to prove it."

The presence of visual customization in the files just mean that the team was working on it at some point, and is entirely compatible with the possibility that Disney or Lucasfilm ultimately decided to drop the axe on it.

Of course, blaming EA is much easier, and lucrative.

Maybe they get put back into the game when they "Reintroduce" the microtransactions...

Yup considering that we know lucas takes forever on approvals bazed on the ragtag story this could of been stuff hey were making just to stay on scheudle and had to put the kibosh on it when they were told no.

100% total non story.

I'll lock this thread for now.

Feel free to create a new thread if EA decide to use this stuff. Publishers have cut content left on disc all the time.
