I have a bad feeling about this...

Oh goody, more Origin exclusives... 
What annoys me about this is not so much EA being involved per se, but the fact that the deal between Disney and EA is exclusive, so nobody else will be able to make a Star Wars game, no matter what. And while it's not unusual that only one single published can make games for a given IP, Disney had the opportunity to farm out the work to the developers with the best ideas. Of course that would have been a much bigger risk, this agreement is (literally) cash in the bank for Disney, so it makes sense.
But, yeah, I don't like exclusive agreements. When was the last major sports game published that wasn't made by EA Sports?
