It's a new era of Star Wars games according to Lucasfilm Games, which announced its rebranded name for the Lucasfilm company's video game publishing endeavors earlier today. Lucasfilm has been involved in gaming for decades at this point, with games like The Secret of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and, of course, a slew of classic Star Wars titles all attributed to the company across its history and various names for its gaming arm.

In recent years, the Star Wars video game license has been the property of developer and publisher EA, a decision that remains controversial among fans. EA's use of the Star Wars license has been widely criticized thanks to the performance of initially promising titles like Star Wars Battlefront II, which ended up flopping due to its questionable microtransaction model that leaned heavily on loot boxes. For some, the peak of Star Wars video game success was when Lucasfilm - or LucasArts, as it was later renamed - was much more directly involved in the process, even if the tail-end of the studio's efforts prior to its Disney acquisition weren't as beloved as more classic efforts.

Interesting stuff - although, I guess we'll have to wait and see whether this is just a re-brand, or whether there will be any other changes that run deeper. I guess we'll have to wait and see if any new games are announced, and what they're like.

Also, I wonder whether they'll do any games for other Lucasfilm movies? Perhaps Indiana Jones, or Howard the Duck ?

i would like them to remake star wars empire at war if at all possible, but thats probably a pipe dream

Well, hopefully, they'll at least do something similar at some point .

Anyway, it seems I called it right in my opening post, because they've just teased an Indiana Jones game, to be made in collaboration with Bethesda:

It'll be interesting to see how that compares to the Tomb Raider series .

That and the Uncharted series. I'd even say the Uncharted series has more similarities to Indiana Jones than Tomb Raider does.
