The bankruptcy filing also had 69 claims for unpaid wages valued at more than $900,000. According to the lawsuit, Factor 5 stopped paying workers on November 1, 2008 and laid off all employees with little or no notice on December 19.
James Smith, a lawyer that represents the former Factor 5 employees, claims that Factor 5's three founders has deceitfully transferred assets, source codes, and intellectual properties to a company called Blue Harvest, which quickly changed their name to White Harvest. The lawyer believes that White Harvest and Factor 5 Inc. are basically the same company run by the same management except under a new name and address.
One game that Factor 5 gave to White Harvest was a new Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for the Wii. Ironically, the game's code name was Blue Harvest. Smith believes that the deceitful asset transfers were made to protect them.
Rogue Squadron Wii. Pretty bad way for a new game to surface.
Rogue Squadron Wii could be anything. It could be that, it could be a tech demo for #4, it could be an actual running version of #4, or it could be a Metroid Prime Trilogy-esque NPC/Wiimake of the first 3 Squadron games.

I'd play any of those. ;D
I think what would solve the problem here would be a sequel to Body Harvest.
There are legal reasons behind the Uniracers franchise being dumped. The game’s a cult hit, a follow-up was a no-brainer. However, you can blame Pixar for what happened to Uniracers. You see, back in the early days, before Disney picked them up, Pixar did short CG animations. Their first to receive any acclaim whatsoever starred a red unicycle, and the stars of Uniracers bore an uncanny resemblance to Pixar’s creation, so production and sale of Uniracers was halted.
