[title]Star Wars RPG License?[/title]

Somebody has bought the Star Wars license; but whoever it is has not announced it yet. This from Mongoose Publishing's Matt Sprange:
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.


Commence speculation!

Star Wars License

With regards to the Star Wars games license, I'm going to guess it went to Fantasy Flight Games. They have the money and have been licensing big-name brands like The Lord of the Rings for several years now.

Just a guess.
