Its not Disney that is the problem. Its EA and their greed, wanting to monitize every aspect of a game. I mean Their first Battlefront... had no single player!
I only mentioned Disney because Star Wars has always had a large number of games, but since Disney got the franchise we've only had two: Battlefront 3 and Battlefront 4 2.

I don't attribute that to Disney. I blame EA for the lack of games since they got the license to do the games. Lucasarts did a good job with the games, and we had a LOT of them, including some great ones like Empire at War. But after EA got the license... how many have we had?
Battlefront (was a fiasco due to lack of single player)
Battlefront II (Got slammed for the predatory loot box FORCING people to give them money)
The Old Republic (paywalls and no bank unless you give EA $5)
While I like Bioware's work (They make good stories when not getting hounded by bigger fish to make a deadline)... EA has been the reason for the lack of new stuff.
Before anyone slams Bioware...
Knights of the Old Republic
Dragon Age
Jade Empire
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Sonic Chronicles
Some pretty good games. ME 3 and ME: Andromeda... I'll blame EA for that.
Frankly... if Bioware can get out from under EA... they could do much better.

Well. Looks like EA has been digging themselves a big hole. A really deep big hole. I will not be surprised if EA's Battlefront 2 and Battlefront 1 gets taken away and given to another company that Disney trusts better.

The games won't be taken away... but EA won't be able to make more.

they DID do armada and armada 2...and while the second wasn't as good as the first, it was still good enough to sell thousands if not millions of copies

I don't know... it wouldn't be the first time a sequel was made by different companies. Starfleet Command 2 was Interplay while SFC 3 was Activision, Command and Conquer went from Westwood to *shudders* EA.

And KOTOR1 and Neverwinter Nights were made by BioWare but they gave both licenses to Obsidian for the sequels because BioWare wanted to do some original IP (with excellent results, IMHO: Mask of the Betrayer is arguably the best D&D-based game out there, the only problem is the underlying engine has some lingering bugs because of a license argument between Wizards of the Coast and Atari).
And then of course Cryptic got to do Neverwinter as a successor...

Yes, and a damn good one. Also kinda previews some of the themes Obsidian explored with Pillars of Eternity later on.

BUT... I just learned something interesting...
EA may be on its way to LOSING that. As recently as February of this year... Disney was actually talking to Ubisoft and Activision. Not only that... apparently through EA there isn't a Star Wars game ready for 2019!

Agreed. Generals, 3, and RA3 were good.
