Lucasfilm weighs in on Star Wars: Battlefront 2 loot box controversy
Over the weekend, information about what went on behind the scenes at EA before the publisher pulled the paid-for currency, Crystals, came to light.
As reported, Disney’s chairman of consumer products and interactive media division, Jimmy Pitaro, made a call to EA CEO Andrew Wilson, expediting the removal of microtransactions at the behest of Disney’s upper management.
The Washington Post corroborated the report with a statement provided to the paper by Lucasfilm. The statement supports EA’s decision, but details on the call made to EA were not provided.
“Star Wars has always been about the fans — and whether it’s ‘Battlefront’ or any other Star Wars experience, they come first,” a Lucasfilm representative said.
“That’s why we support EA’s decision to temporarily remove in-game payments to address fan concerns.”

With several countries now looking into the loot boxes to see if they classify as gambling I'm sure they'll stay disabled. Belgium authorities have even stated its gambling.
