A Lucas Licensing e a Wizards of the Coast anunciaram no início de 2011 que a WotC não está renovando sua licença para o RPG de Guerra nas Estrelas .
Quem assumiu isso deles? Fatos sólidos, por favor (assim que estiverem disponíveis, no caso de ninguém aqui ter ainda .)
Fantasy Flight Games agora tem a licença:
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce that it has entered a comprehensive licensing partnership with Lucasfilm Ltd. for the worldwide rights to publish card, roleplaying, and miniatures games set in the popular Star Wars universe!
Matthew Sprang, da Mongoose Publishing, afirmou que ele abordou a Lucasfilm, procurando obter uma licença para um RPG Star Wars; Aparentemente, ele foi avisado que outra pessoa já tem a licença.
A maioria das grandes empresas negou ter a licença.
Os seguintes dizem que não são eles:

E aqui está a citação de Matt:
In other A Call to Arms news, I can now report that we did not manage to grab the licence we were chasing for the game - Star Wars. We weren't really expecting this one to happen (we made a sideways reference to it in the State of the Mongoose), but we got much further along than we thought we would.
The interesting thing is why our negotiations ended - another company beat us to it. We are not going to reveal who this is (you have heard of them), as that is their fanfare to blow. However, I am sure many will find it intriguing that the licence covers card games, RPGs, and... miniatures. Now, the company concerned is not known for its miniatures lines, which will probably put paid to my dream of 28mm multipart/multipose Stormtroopers.
