The game development firm of Lucas Film Licensing LLC (of
George Lucas and
Star Wars fame) that's in charge of doling out the license for all official
Star Wars and
Indiana Jones games. In addition to the aforementioned, the studio is also famous for producing adventure games like
Full Throttle and
Day Of The Tentacle as well as the
Monkey Island series (and most recently, the
Mercenaries series), as well as a series of
World War II and
Star Wars-themed flight sims developed by Lawrence Holland's Totally Games! studio, mainly
Battlehawks1942, Secret Weapons Of The Luftwaffe and the
X-Wing and
TIE Fighter space combat games.
More recent titles that they've either published or developed in-house include
Fracture,
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction (note that its sequel,
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames had its publishing rights given to
Electronic Arts by developer Pandemic) and
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. However,
The Force Unleashed would prove to be the last in-house game developed by
LucasArts; soon afterward, in the summer of 2008, the studio was disbanded, with
LucasArts announcing that it would go back to its roots as strictly a title publisher.
