  "account": "Douglas Reilly, Lucasfilm Games' vice president, expressed optimism about the possibility of creating additional Star Wars video games following the success of titles like Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Star Wars: Zero Company. Reilly stressed that while large-scale triple-A games such as Battlefront remain crucial to the company's strategy, the emphasis is on collaborating with the most suitable partner. The goal extends beyond just triple-A studios, encompassing both substantial and independent developers. Reilly explained that the company aims to bring captivating narratives and unique experiences within the Star Wars universe to life. The Star Wars franchise offers a myriad of storytelling opportunities across various genres, which excites Reilly. The primary objective is to identify a partner capable of delivering an engaging and immersive game within the Star Wars galaxy. Lucasfilm Games has been open to receiving pitches from a broader range of potential partners, and the company has witnessed promising projects in development, such as a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic by Saber Interactive and a new game by Arcnaut Studios and Mass Effect director Casey Hudson, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. Despite rumors of a potential Star Wars: Battlefront 3 project, involving Destiny developer Bungie and DICE, Lucasfilm Games has not officially confirmed these developments. Reilly emphasized that the company maintains a stringent quality standard, typically preferring established teams with a proven track record. However, the company remains open to exploring collaborations with a variety of partners, including those that may be considered unconventional. Reilly personally reviewed Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Star Wars: Zero Company, praising them as exceptional games of the year. Galactic Racer is a racing game that combines elements of Star Wars with a roguelike experience, offering endless customization options, while Zero Company presents an engaging companion story set in the Clone Wars era, featuring captivating turn-based tactical gameplay.",
