EA would love to clone the playstyle from Arkham series in new SW games:

When I was a kid (yea, before Jesus lived) I really adored SW movie trilogy. In time it was obvious that SW can be used as a base to any kind of (SINGLEPLAYER!) RPG ruleset and kotor and it's sequel proved it right.
But then dunno what else but greedyness made SW MMO and three pretty much "whatta joke" movie prequels.
Looking back, it's pretty much obvious that EA never really understood RPG genre. Even in cases of starting right, somehow, they make it bad in the end. I bet you don't expect reading this from anyone, especially not me - Sims Medieval is actually RPG, but while it starts very interesting, loses it's course and appeal in the midgame and is simply done wrong and will never get a sequel or another DLC.
In the end I won't say this is a bad news. Honestly, since it's EA, maybe it's better they don't make SW RPG but some other genre entry.
