Star Wars 1313 Will Not Be Affected By Disney *Update*

UPDATE: DISNEY HAS SHUT DOWN LUCASARTS

The Walt Disney Company announced today that it is acquiring Lucasfilm -- the global entertainment company founded by George Lucas and the home of the legendary "Star Wars" franchise. Official Press Release


You may be wondering how this ordeal will effect "Star Wars 1313" considering Lucasfilm is a large part of the games creation.  Anthony Gallegos from IGN has reached out to LucasArts and received the following statement:
For the time being all projects are business as usual.  We are excited about all the possibilities that Disney brings. 
Disney's CEO Bob Iger has stated that the company will now focus more on mobile and social development than consoles going forward. However, he also said they'd pursue console games "opportunistically," licensing out the franchise to other companies. Hopefully under new management LucasArts will be given the chance to complete some of its older game trilogies such as: "BattleFront III" "KOTAR 3" and of course "The Force Unleashed III"
