EA's Exclusive Star Wars Deal: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly- The Blockade Runner Podcast #87

Listen Later

We start this week's show off with some chat about recent tweets signaling an end to Episode IX's filming, a discussion of the just-announced Galaxy's Edge books coming later this year, and a voicemail from The Rural Farmboy (@aRuralFarmboy). The rest of the show is devoted to an in-depth look at Electronic Arts's exclusive deal for publishing Star Wars games. We run through the history of EA's Star Wars releases (and cancellations) and lament the unreleased games and missed opportunities (seriously, no Nintendo Switch games?) that are part of the EA-era.
