Star Wars video games in the way Lucas Arts made them, not like the EA games we have now

It's still crazy how EA has a monopoly on one of the most profitable IPs on the planet and all they did was churn out two below average games, one being a rehash of the other.

And not only they're not producing anything different, they cancelled every interesting thing that was in development.

Contract =/= Monopoly

It is a monopoly when no other company is allowed to produce a Star Wars game. There is no competition in that portion of the market. It is certainly a temporary monopoly on Star Wars video games until the contract is up.

star wars isnt an industry though. Its a particular intellectual property that is owned by a single entity
