     My source is SJ Games "Daily Illuminator" page, which noted that 
WEG had fired all of it's employees, ceased all operations, and was 
about to file for chapter 11.  Further details came from an article in 
their Pyramid magazine.  It's also been verified from a variety of 
sources on Usenet.  Apparently, the future is bleak for the RPG, seeing 
as how it cost Lucasfilms more to handle the paperwork involved than 
they were recieving in profits for it.	Life is sometimes less than 
fair....
