They aren't killing anything, they're closing down a redundant studio that's making no profit and contracting the titles and privileges to make new content to outside developers. I didn't read the article posted above I did however read one posted by the BBC. From what I understand besides the current in progress titles like Star Wars 1818 being halted, they won't kill all Star Wars games in the future. It's up to other dev's to make those happen.

A massive shame! Was quite liking the look of 1313. Mind you, I can't see myself playing anything else now Defiance is out he he. I suppose I could break the cycle when Destiny and Watch Dogs comes out... oh, and GTA V!
