I don't know about Factor 5... I want it to keep making Star Wars games and that'd be really unlikely under Nintendo. And while it may make games on another console... Rare and Left Field prove Nintnedo ownership doesn't stop that either...
Haha, I knew you were going to say that. ;) If Factor 5 were to become a Nintendo second-party they would still be able to make Star Wars games. Right now they're making SW games exclusively for Nintendo's console, and Lucasarts is happy about it because the Rogue Squadron series has been their most successful one for a while now. Just do what Nintendo is doing with Twin Snakes. It would work out for everyone.
As for the whole Rare/Leftfield thing, well, you have to assume that Nintendo knew something that we didn't about them. We know now that Nintendo made the right choice with selling Rare. So far, that is...
