precious Star Wars franchise having
been taken over by everyone’s favourite
mouse and friends, a number of concerns and
complaints have been voiced rather loudly. Well the
Disney empire strikes back with their first game as
owners, Star Wars: Attack Squadrons and it looks

within the clutches of a new parent company,
the fans are feeling a bit nervous. After all, this is

after this, Star Wars: Attack Squadrons, will set the
tone for everything else to come. If the game is a
success, we will all have renewed faith in Disney,
and excitement over the upcoming films will be at
an all-time high. If however, it is a disappointment,
