Factor 5 president details cancelled Star Wars projects
Ex-Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht has revealed in a recent IGN podcast that the developer had worked on a number of Star Wars games for various consoles. However, the projects were all cancelled by LucasArts or couldn’t be released due to financial problems. Central among them was a compilation trilogy of their previous Rogue Squadron games and a new project based on the titles they had previously created. The trilogy re-release on the Xbox was ultimately cancelled and the team started work on the new game, called Rogue Squadron: W-Wing vs. Tie Fighter, for the Xbox 360 and then later for the Nintendo Wii. “[Rogue Squadron: X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter] was much more about groups, because it’s always Rogue Squadron, right? So, you would be Red 5, together with the Reds essentially attacking, and there would be the Imperial side. And that would be the two factions duking it out in essentially the movie battles, and then in additional battles.” As well as the cancelled Star Wars projects, Eggebrecht confirmed
