The back half of the game really takes it up a notch.

Agreed. It's great from the start but the

Order 66
sequence is where it starts ramping up to another level. Also, I'd play an entire game just exploring

B&W were fired after the dismal response to the final season of GoT.

Their deal with Netflix isn't absurd in the least: $250 million barely covers two seasons of GoT and wouldn't cover two seasons of The Mandalorian.

KK initally spoke with them about running a series based on The Old Republic but they came back with wanting to create a trilogy about the very first Force Users, set more than 30,000 years prior to ANH. She went along with it until the extremely divisive final season of GoT.

At that point, the writing was on the wall for them at Lucasfilm.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
