In 2013, patron of the arts Disney killed two Star Wars games when it bought and subsequently shuttered LucasArts. Alongside the infamous cancellation of action adventure 1313<\/a> (“infamous” in that I thought it looked cool and extrapolated that to lots of people caring about it) was First Assault, a multiplayer FPS where you’d team up as either rebels or stormtroopers and shoot lasers at each other, as seen in the hit film Star Wars. <\/p>\n

Now, if some fairly convincing<\/a> footage doing the rounds<\/a> on YouTube is to be believed, First Assault is playable online, with a public Discord available for anyone who wants to join in. The slice is from the originally planned beta tests, which along with the Discord suggests a team of modders have been working for a while now to get the thing playable. It also suggests they either have reason to believe they’re legally in the clear, or are else posturing one of the all time great come-at-me-bro’s, since Disney now own the license. <\/p>\n
