THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.

so what does this mean.

probably a stupid question but doesn't disney hold all the star wars stuff except for some games licences which are held by EA?

Not a lot, as stated just speculation. The best summary from reddit is attached, but if i recall smedley has already said it wont be SWG.

Probably just Disney protecting the trademark. If there is any connection between the renewal and Smedley's comment on the AMA, then we might have something interesting.

Maybe SOE approached Disney to propose a second Star Wars MMO, saying that TOR and SWG appeal to two distinct audiences. Maybe Disney wants an MMO that ties in with the Star Wars that everyone knows from the movies.

If there's no connection, then SOE's unannounced project could still be interesting. Sounds like they mean it to be a spiritual successor to SWG. A sci-fi MMO with the gameplay elements that made SWG a good game.

SWG trademark renewed December 2013

Smedley has confirmed that it IS NOT a new Star Wars game.

John Smedley ‏@j_smedley
just to clarify a point I made in my AMAA - we have a new game that I think SWG vets will like. It's not a new Star Wars game at all.

Regardless of whether that's what they're working on, the renewal of the trademark makes me sweaty - yes, sweaty.

Think this thread needs a name change to The Official The Repopulation (Sucessor to SWG)Thread

Don't care, in fact its better. Stalwart rights would been to much restriction and meddling.
