(Starships and Speeders)FFG (and it's spinoffs) has had the license for board/card/miniature/RPG games for almost 15 years, which is longer then WEG (11 years) and WotC (10 years).Looking at the Asmodee situation, the pandemic didn't help, the sale to Embracer didn't help, nor the split to FFG/Edge/Atomic. I would even go as far to say that things started to turn bleak after the CEO (the former owner) left at the end of 2018.Asmodee has limited funds available, and has had issues with turning a profit, so they're concentrating on the products they expect the highest return on investment. That's obviously NOT pnp RPG books, and reprinting books gets them a return on investment pretty quickly (offloading to distributors) on sometimes more then a decade old books. Compare that to card games or miniatures (sell the same mini more then once to the same person), and you'll notice huge differences in return on investments.Disney is seeing a steady paycheck from Asmodee, so why rock the boat?Personally, I don't know if we really need another new version of SW, between all the different versions from three different publishers over 39 year. Oodles of SW esque official RPGs with serial-numbers filed off or fanmade adaptions. I would see very little benefit in getting a new SW system from yet another publisher unless it would fit in my very specific niche: Getting official Foundry VTT modules, and/or official PDFs... And I don't see that happening with new publishers either.</blockquote>
