There is gossip around the Internet about LucasArts- the kind of gossip that makes fans a bit uneasy. After the cancellation of The Clone Wars, there have been fears that LucasArts is facing a shutdown. Reports tell us that there are incoming Layoffs for Lucasfilm Animation and it only makes sense now that Disney is on the scene to get rid of the department that does the very same thing they already do.

The Geek Link writes - By now anyone who has a smartphone, Mac, PC, tablet, really any type of computing device has probably tried out Rovios Angry Birds. If by chance you are one of the few uninitiated, Angry Birds is a series of casual games that task you as the player with beating up pigs that the birds eggs. For their latest release Rovio teamed up with LucasArts to make a Midichlorian rich sequel Angry Birds Star Wars.

Paul from Denkiphile: "Gamers and Star Wars fans alike are excited for Star Wars: First Assault, a possible upcoming first-person shooter that was initially scheduled to be made available this spring as a download on unconfirmed platforms. Allegedly intended to be the predecessor for Star Wars: Battlefront III (which was unfortunately scrapped), First Assault may or may not see the light of day due to Disneys acquisition of LucasArts, which has left executives in pensive thought on how to go about using the Star Wars property. Earlier this week, a twenty-six second clip of in-game footage showing rebels against stormtroopers was leaked on the interwebs that is unsurprisingly being taken down from any website. Right off the bat, First Assault appears to have a Halo-y and Call of Duty-ish vibe to it. Of the thing we want to see from it, a few are derived from the beloved Star Wars: Battlefront series, assuming of course that we actually get to play it someday."
