PhoneSaber Pulled by Lucasfilm... But Official Version In Works

[LimeiBook86]

I got a pop up saying that it was not available in the US store.

last night I went crazy tryingnto install this one. I hasthe old PhoneSaber, but no matter what I did (even deleteing from both phone and mac) the app would not install. iTunes would say it's installing Lightsaber Unleashed, but it would only install PhoneSaber. and now it won't download at all! Did anyone get this to work?

This is weird. I posted earlier that it was available on iTunes and I was able to download it at that time. It's called "Lightsaber Unleashed" in my apps so one would expect it to be the new one. I played it and it's the OLD Phonesaber --- doesn't have all the new features. And you're right, it's not available on US iTunes now.

I was able to download it today from my phone, and it installed just fine.

Boycotting Lucas and THQ...

I am doing just that due to my inability to use phonesaber any more. You see, my iTunes has updated all of my applications--erasing the original phonesaber...an application that I never would have updated...

So, THQ and Lucas have lost this family of 4 as customers--for anything. No Indiana Jones, no star wars, no anything. All over an application that was altered to be an advertisement.

Let me make one thing clear:

The original iPhone application called phonesaber was the best advertisement I have seen for the Star Wars universe. Period. It made me buy the "old" movies for my kids. It made me want to buy new physical sabers for my kids---that won't happen now...

The new phonesaber unleashed is not on my phone and will not be on my phone.

Here is my request for Lucas and THQ to release the original phonesaber as a tribute to all of the fans who have made Lucas extremely rich. They didn't even offer to let us buy the original...I bet many would pay $0.99 for the original phonesaber application--and it would still be an advertisement for Star Wars. I won't even download the new app for free.

Great marketing department THQ and Lucas... Did you guys/gals use to work with Wachovia, WaMu, or another failed bank?

Sigh, where is the force when it is needed??? George, help us out here man...

when you install the "official one" does it remove the old one? i can no longer find the saberphone in itunes or on my phone.
