It may be saved. However, let's be honest... the chances are kinda slim.

Quite a pity, I was a fan of their games, especially X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter.

I assume that Lucasarts was no longer getting Star Wars money since Star Wars now belongs to Disney.

Disney owned Lucasarts though right? At any rate The Mouse has struck again. Anybody ever hear of the old series Peter Pan and the Pirates? I wouldn't be surpirsed if you didn't.
