The return of Lucasfilm Games? – From IGN: Since publishing, IGN has spoken to a representative from Lucasfilm, who clarified that Lucasfilm Games has existed and helped to ensure games meet Lucasfilm’s standards ever since the closure of LucasArts. Any job postings for Lucasfilm Games are due to Disney wanting to make sure their game scene is staffed appropriately for any Lucasfilm properties. Disney as a whole is still focused on third-party licensed development and are still very committed in working with EA.
Jason Schreier Retweeted PC Gamer – “This is, quite literally, fake news. Lucasfilm Games is the team at Lucasfilm that’s been working with EA on Star Wars games for years now! LucasArts ain’t back, guys”
Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire novel by author Delilah S. Dawson – The 368-page title will be released on August 27 and is available for pre-order now in Hardcover, Ebook, and Audiobook formats. See cover here
