I am a relatively experienced game designer, and I was just wondering if anyone on here would be interested if a group I'm with made the true Star Wars Battlefront III. Now, before you peg me as a Star Wars nerd, play Battlefront II. It's a really good game, and I want the series to continue. Please tell me whether or not this would be a good idea.

Yeah, sounds awesome. I've played Battlefront II and would LOVE to see a third! :D

Not really. I think your group should put their effort towards making something original. Not to mention many fan projects get shut down for copyright infringement.

It would be cool, but Fraurrix is right. Create something original. Not saying that your idea is bad, but there are copyright issues.

Well I wouldn't sell the meat of it, as to avoid breaking copyright. Maybe some DLC maps though.

If you made even a cent off any of it you'd be asking to get sued. Even if you planned on releasing it for free, you could still be potentially shut down.

How could you be a game designer and not know this?

Whatever man, no need to be so negative. If it gets shut down, we are able to do more in a week than you can in a lifetime with these.

How am I being negative? You're the one insulting me when I'm just telling you how it is. It was one of the first things mentioned when I was filling out the forms for my game design course.
