[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 145237, member: 134"] Yes, but for different reasons. FarSight now has to deal with Disney for IJ and SW instead of LucasFilm. Disney is notorious for how much of the residuals from sales they get. You need to be able to guarantee them a high volume of sales, and TPA would have a very hard time coming up with the numbers needed. Zen made their deal with LucasFilm prior to the Disney buyout, which explains how they have the SW license at all. Doctor Who on the other hand, would be expensive in securing 50 years worth of people needing to get paid. For instance, it's not just paying for the actor's image, but the writers that created that particular version of the Doctor would also get a cut of the pie. Use of the Daleks is a whole separate issue, one that the show itself has to contend with as they don't even own it, if I'm not mistaken. Williams obviously put something together with the BBC, but that package deal has long since expired. FarSight would essentially be having to pay a la carte for everything. [/QUOTE]
