Star Wars discussions are split between two big stories: reports that Star Wars Eclipse may be unable to finish without more staffing due to layoffs, and renewed excitement around Star Wars: Galactic Racer, including its Burnout-like design goals and physics-driven destruction. Separately, the franchise is also seeing chatter from a Star Wars book teasing major secrets and tie-in products/threads like a Chewbacca-skewed Monopoly strategy.

What is Star Fox?

Star Fox belongs to a fairly old-school game genre that isn't seen so often these days: It's a "rail shooter."

Layoffs must be dictated by a company-wide point system, taking into account dependents, seniority, social situations, and professional skills. So, if Quantic Dream were to issue layoffs, it would have to look at the entire studio—Star Wars Eclipse devs included.
