'We had been building a few prototypes and concepts for games and we were chatting with our friends at Respawn about a few of them when out of the blue I got a call from Vince and he asked me my thoughts on making a Star Wars game,' Foerstch says. According to Bit Reactor CEO Greg Foerstch, the deal came together 'out of the blue.' While work has begun on all three games, Bit Reactor's strategy game looks to be the earliest in development, as the studio was revealed just last week. 'We are proud of our long-standing collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, which will continue for years to come,' EA said at the time. Prior to that announcement, EA had been the exclusive developer of Star Wars games since 2013, its releases including two Star Wars: Battlefront games, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars Squadrons, and Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. The announcements solidify EA's immediate future with the Star Wars franchise, which faced questions after Lucasfilm announced that Ubisoft would be developing a new game based on the series. The key art used to announce the new EA-Respawn-Lucasfilm Games initiative. Respawn founder and Group GM Vince Zampella will oversee this new three-game initiative, which EA characterizes as 'a new phase of EA's relationship with Lucasfilm.' Bit Reactor will work closely with Respawn on the new project. The other will be a strategy game developed by Bit Reactor, a recently-formed studio composed of Firaxis Games veterans best-known for their work on the XCOM franchise. One will be a first-person shooter led by Peter Hirschmann, who previously served as VP of development at LucasArts, has a long history of working with Lucasfilm, and co-created Medal of Honor. The Jedi: Fallen Order sequel will be joined by two additional games set in the Star Wars universe, both of them as yet untitled.

I like to think the Kasdan screenwriting team also experimented with Pinter and Davenant, and Stoppard and Marvell before settling on those.The new game in the Star Wars: Jedi series – which was confirmed to be the start of a franchise shortly after its 2019 release – will once again be directed by Stig Asmussen, who led development of the first game as well as God of War 3. That’s right: the two intergalactic male robbers are called Beckett and Dryden.

A few years later he’s a brilliant pilot who has been booted out of the imperial fleet for insubordination, and has made common cause with a notorious thief, Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) who with his associate Val (an underused Thandie Newton) works for a terrifying crime boss, Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany). Han makes it, Qi’ra doesn’t and Han swears to come back and find her someday.

He is in love with beautiful Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke) and they plan to bribe officials with a stolen phial of ultra-valuable fuel crystal Coaxium to get smuggled out. And there’s another meet-cute, come to think of it: the love that flowers between man and machine, between the reckless pilot and the sleekly iconic Millennium Falcon.Įhrenreich’s Han is a handsome scallywag and cute no-goodnik who is oppressed like everyone else on a tyrannised planet. Solo: A Star Wars Story moreover has a glorious origin myth meet-cute to set up one of cinema’s greatest bromances: the stoic wookiee Chewbacca and the insolently handsome freebooting rebel pilot Han Solo – and Alden Ehrenreich absolutely crushes the role to powder, swaggeringly reviving the memory of the young Harrison Ford’s romantic gallantry.
