There's a new Star Wars X-Wing miniature game on the market, through Fantasy Flight Games. It looks cool, but it really makes you think, why isn't LucasArts going stronger after those tie fighter games we grew up on?

Because they're too busy doing Clone Wars crap.

LOL - yeah - there is definitely a fascination with motion controlled stuff trying to do lightsaber action.
Lucasarts isn't making this because the Fantasy Flight X-Wing game isn't a video game, it's actual physical miniatures (like Micro Machine-size, I'm presuming). It's more closely tied to tabletop roleplaying than anything else (FFG also recently acquired the SW RPG rights).

Thanks - I tweaked the original post to correct it. Still no excuse for LucasArts not to give us a good Tie Fighter video game.
