Blaming the economic downturn, Wizards of the Coast Director of Marketing Greg Yahn announced that the company would not be renewing its Star Wars license. The license will expire this summer.

From the article on ICv2:

Releases will continue as planned until the end of the license, according to the announcement.  In April, Masters of the Force minis will be released, including favorite characters along with rare creatures from the Dejarik Holochess game that have never appeared in the Star Wars CMG.

The Unknown Regions RPG is also planned for April, including entirely new planets and mini-adventures for each world.
