Electronic Arts has earned the Star Wars license

It has taken more than six years, but Electronic Arts has finally proven itself worthy of the Star Wars video game license. The company only shipped three games since making the deal in May 2013. But after a humbling experience with Battlefront II, it has spent years turning that game around with tons of new content from the entire saga. And then it released one of the best of the year in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. So the publisher is in a good place when it comes to Star Wars games.

Now, I’m not saying that another publisher couldn’t make better Star Wars games. And I’m not implying that we wouldn’t get better games if Disney worked with multiple developers on a variety of projects. Oh, and this has nothing to do with whether or not EA and Disney have made enough money to justify the deal.
