Loved how vicious Rey was with the saber. She didn’t care about dueling, she wanted to go in for the kill and lunged no matter how unlikely it was to work.

In the end the lightsaber is just a really cool sword. If Finn has been taught the use of melee weapons including a sword, he would be able to use it with some ability.

Well it’s actually quite funny as her combat techniques that I saw in the film were mostly poking and slashing aggressively. Her and Finn both, poking/stabbing furiously.

Money may not be a huge factor in other genres, but in the MMO genre money is darn near everything.

I'd definitely include that as a development cost, as it was a cost directly tied to the creation and viability of the game as a product. Without the licensing fee, the E.T. game would have been an illegal turd instead of just a turd.

Marketing for a game in comparison to, let's say a film, are two different beasts. They need to sell the general consumer on an item that they will pay $60 for, need a system to play it on and justify the time dedicated to play the game (which may be for hours).

It's probably also why everybody panics about Nintendo except Nintendo.
