Frankly, yes. It is their copyright, their code, their game. Even if the developers were allowed to release the source code, they can't release anything copywrited: none of the Star Wars stuff that makes the game actually a game. Look at Homeworld: Relic released the source code to Homeworld 1 (w/o actually any of the parts that makes it Homeworld), and still no one can compile it sucessfully. With today's technology, I wouldn't want such old code to develop a game anyway. Better to build it from scratch, modularize and script it (LUA, etc), and allow better editing and moding. Granted! But I can't be alone in being more than a little curious to see all the stuff viewable with resource hacker (Millenium Falcom in the tactical battle... unused wav. files..etc) during gameplay... Your last point is of course obvious, but it's actually a case of someone doing it; which would be a daunting task, and with the greatest repesct to the outstanding achievements of our modder's, dont see any hands raised, if but for the time factor and people's real lives! Edit: Spell I must!
