Several companies this week announced that they were not successful in their pursuit of the valuable Star Wars license from Lucasarts, including Paizo, Mongoose, Margaret Weis Productions, Steve Jackson Games, and Green Ronin. Mongoose reported that the license covers card games, RPGs and miniatures, and that the winning bidder is not a company known for making minis.
Since money was one of the issues behind Wizards of the Coast declining to renegotiate the license, we can assume only the big players would have the finances to even have a shot. That leaves Games Workshop (a company certainly know for miniatures, ruling them out if Mongoose is correct) and Fantasy Flight Games.
