0:14.5

Hey everybody and we've got a great show for this week lots of Lucas film games news to talk about that means Star Wars

0:21.0

That means Indiana Jones but first I want to show you a shirt of my dad got me for Christmas. Oh no can you see him?

0:28.5

Oh Godzilla rockin a Gibson SG yeah extremely on brand for days it is it's literally the meme the perfect shirt for me doesn't exit yeah and I'm also just noticing Justin's got kind of a he's got real princess lay of vibes on today

0:52.5

I've got a little pulp fiction Easter going on over here you can't tell but it's too little dancers nice

1:02.5

Yeah let's start with that Lucas film games news this week let's start with the Star Wars stuff open world Star Wars game is in development not at electronic arts it's in development at Ubisoft

1:15.5

It's from the division developer Ubisoft massive no indication has been given us to whether it would be single player multiplayer or what part of the Star Wars timeline would be in or win it might be released but Ubisoft's Eve Gimau says quote it's an original

1:31.5

Star Wars adventure that is different from anything that has been done before Sam what do you make of that it can't be out of stories it can't be Star Wars chess can't be a

1:41.5

Masters of Terrace Cassie yeah we know it's none of those things I'm if you just eliminate all the way Star Wars has manifested itself you can figure out what this game is because it's not any of those

1:53.5

Also plan to be canon whatever it is plan to be canon with the with just films and everything everything now right yeah everything can and I think this is such cool news

2:05.5

You know the division is not necessarily my cup of tea but like big triple A studio that's really really well resourced and capable of sort of doing Star Wars justice undeniably so yeah I'm really really excited

2:21.5

We also dug into some of the job listings because obviously now that the word is out there were like our Star Wars project and they're able to be a little bit more descriptive there

2:30.5

Nothing to revelatory words like open world action adventure linear and non linear storytelling and RPG style progression were thrown around so it's a video game folks you heard it

2:43.5

You know for as many Star Wars games as we've gotten you know it's been a million weight you know this little trailer montage that's running is showing several of them we haven't really ever gotten the big triple A open world

2:55.5

Star Wars game there's been role playing games and you know Jedi fallen order is I don't know what you would call that wide linear probably I would think on the positive side this is just Jedi fallen or because it's a bunch of open areas and had to find with me but I want I want like

3:13.5

Skyrim levels of open like or fallout like open area yeah I want like an actual open world Star Wars game that's this weird hole in like the in all the Star Wars games that we've gotten in the past if it was that that could work well but what worries me is seeing the division footage and thinking about the Avengers and like you know did our lessons being learned about what you know open world games are when they are also games

3:42.5

of service or are lessons not being learned about that and people really like the division I should say anthems that the thing that scares me as much as

3:49.5

Avengers yeah yeah that's a that's a very real you know I like Star Wars as much as the next nerd but the franchise is sort of written into a corner

3:59.5

because there are no Jedi in modern Star Wars so unless they go back in time to older public all any player ever wants to do is run around as a Jedi

4:08.5

but the fiction of every single Star Wars game has to contort itself for why you know I'm not a Jedi but I'm using a lightsaber or or Calcestus in Jedi fallen order is a Jedi and here's why you know no one knows about him like it's this big stumbling block that like every

4:25.5

Star Wars game has to overcome so but even if you are a Jedi like you can't be getting a new lightsaber and equipping new loot and being on this new ride really like you got different different robes I mean I don't know sure there's a way they can
