He gives approval for things but really often has no say in the final product or have to approve it. He's probably never seen the Star Wars Kinect game outside of the concept proposition put forth by Lucasarts to sign off on.
Oh, it's almost guaranteed. I think most people are expecting it to.

I liked Lobot as the DJ. That's about it.
The bitter pill that we all must swallow
profit, it's how companies work

200 people have probably edited their forum profiles and their linkedin profiles so they can't be linked. Just in case.

Why is it so bitter to you?
I'd be fine even with this abomination if some of those profits went on to fund good games that are innovative but the sad thing with MS is that they won't
It'll fund Kinect 2 development.fizzelopeguss

Wow, they just raped two of the coolest star wars characters.
It will, because this world is just shitty enough for it to happen.

Reminds me of the South Park George Lucas episode... (NSFW!!!) http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/187269/look-out-indy

What is this awesome shit. It's hilarious not quite as good as the dancing storm troopers but still good. I'm pretty sure most well known franchises get awful comedic products released, lighten up and enjoy the awkwardly funny. Groaning about it ain't gonna do shit.

You probably won't see at least five of those studios around next year. Poor TR.
But I honestly can't see this as being anything but the biggest disappointment for consumers since the ET/Pac-Man 2600 double punch. That's so much money and time wasted on a project that wasn't sailing smoothly once, since the day Kinect was conceived.
LEGO Star Wars is one thing. Kids love LEGOs. TT is dedicated to the craft of making LEGO games now, so those are fine.
But passing this off to kids? That might be breaking the stretching point.
This is like the video game equivalent of Konami's E3 Press Conferences.

I thought watching that piece of shit Starkiller kill Han in FUII dlc was awful. But seeing Han popping elbows and sliding...fuck.

Sadly this will most likely be the best part of the game.
Apparently Terminal Reality worked on the game for three years.
...one year, my friend got for his birthday one of those cheapy "plug-and-play" knockoff games machines made by Tiger Electronics (pretty much a reskin of the plug-and-play Dragon Quest Sword game available in Japan). Here's a video of it.
That £5 novelty item was literally more deserving of the "gaming" classifier than this multi-team, designed-by-committee, shallow, broken, over-marketed piece of shit can ever hope to be. And that's compared to a Tiger Electronics toy. That's not even remotely excusable.
(In fact, I want to go over to his house to play it again now.)

Doesn't matter about how much it sells.
A shit game like this can be done with less people. It's just a clusterfuck of management.
You all need to get over yourselves. So offended that a game isn't for you. I saw this bring played at the Toronto kinect store and it looked like a lot of fun. The people playing seemed to like it alot.
Worse things have been done to Star Wars than a kinect game. Even if its this bad.

Lucas won't give a crap about the "dignity" of his franchise when he's too busy trying to stay afloat in the sea of cash this game is about to bring him.

I hope it turns out okay, but I'm not betting on it.

Wow, I honestly thought that whole dancing thing was a joke of sorts. WOW, just wow...my mind has been blown after watching that youtube video...WTF were they thinking??

On the one hand, it's impressive that they completely duped Dance Central into an unrelated game. On the other hand, the setting and choreography are both terrible by DC's standards.
yup, GAF isn't the intended audience too

Besides the already stated sadness that this video presents, why is the song so lazy in its lyrics? If you are going to take a pop song and change it, then actually change it. There is entire parts of the song that are identical to the original.
Kids and their fathers who grew up watching Star Wars wanted to pilot an X-Wing down the Death Star trench, or fight Darth Vader with a lightsaber. I don't think they had dancing wookies in mind.
It may still sell because, hey, it's Star Wars. But I don't think it's what the fans were looking for.
I was laughin' at this for like twenty minutes... then I noticed the guy's silhouette is in the upper left-hand corner and it became perfect.

danicing wookies is a small part of this game. and looks like alot of fun. are you ignoring everything else?
edit: and why are people so serious in these games, dancing storm troopers? ya thats funny to me. I also recently found Vader riding a rollercoaster on reddit and I LOL, or the mini Vader in a VW commercial was funny.

Because all fathers from the Star Wars era want to dance to shitty remixes(?) of songs with Star Wars references in them.
Because all kids want to play is Dance Central and thus it has to be incorporated everywhere to appeal to them.
Because there's no such thing as LEGO Star Wars or whatever to give that family-friendly alternative that everyone can enjoy.
Because this can't be just a shitty cash in.
Appealing to kids is great! But there's no need to insult them or the fans; and have ridiculous, out of place things smashed into the game just to make sure they're checking off that undoubtedly-PR-influenced box. You can make things for kids, but you don't always have to dumb things down for them either.
