Nemo makes a lot of sense, but when talking about LucasArts' veto power one must remember that I'm sure that SOE ends them an idea with an outline and specifics for the concept. Who knows if LA people log on and actually check out game content?
LA says yes or no. If yes, SOE uses the concept. If No, SOE either ditches the concept or revamps it to LA's liking. The issue is that what's on paper isn't always what happens in the game.
I'm sure SOE told LA that getting a Jedi would be a lot of hard work. Problem is that SOE didn't realize just how easy it is to grind out. I've heard of people who use third party programs to mimic mouse movements to help grind out crafting professions while they sleep.
As for the content badges, my guild could prolly burn me through the badge requirements in less than a week's time if I ask them to. Then its just a matter of the grind. And that's not that hard, just takes patience and time. Heck, barkers are yelling about using grenades to get combat XP for conversion to Force XP to sell grenades.
Behind every rumor there is some truth. I think the truth is that LucasArts is unhappy with the content of the game if they have checked it out. However, LA knows that when it comes to MMORPGs, SOE has the most experience at it and therefore the best chance of running the code side of thing properly.
If anything, LA might take more control over content... but there will be no divorce from SOE. Doesn't make since with the gold mine that SWG is.

considering LA owns more shares of the game, he can do what ever he wants, its like with my friends company, he owns 51% of the shares, the other stock holders can say I like this, or this... but he has final say since he OWNS the company (51%) LA can do what ever he wants with SWG with out going to court.
