@Agent_Karyo These numbers are insane.

If they would give out Star Wars licenses to any developer who asks, we'd be swimming in Star Wars games every year, and Disney would drown in the license fees they collect.

I believe Games Workshop has a more open policy towards licensing.

I would imagine Star Wars game licensing would be more strictly controlled, both in terms of content and target market.
