Disney distributes Kingdom Hearts. Disney recently became the owner of the rights to Star Wars. Seems like a match made in carbon heaven, doesn’t it?
When it was announced that Disney had acquired LucasFilm – and with it the rights to adventures set in the world of Star Wars – speculation began as to what this would mean for Square Enix’s popular action role-playing game series based on the House that Mouse Built , also has a hand in it.
Tetsuya Nomura, the Square Enix superstar who created Kingdom Hearts, wonders that too. And he wants the crossover to happen in the recently announced Kingdom Hearts III (on which he serves as game director), according to an interview he gave to French gaming site Finaland at the Japan Expo last weekend gave.
“We’ve been talking about Star Wars itself since it became Disney’s content recently,” said Nomura. “When I (heard) the news I was like, ‘Wow! Wow!’ Yeah obviously it’s gonna be great if we could add it, but like I said there are a lot of restrictions and rules by Disney so we don’t know what’s gonna happen but yeah, we’ll see.”
Man, I can just imagine Sora and Co. fighting on, say, the Death Star. Donald Duck would look adorable in a Jedi outfit.
