LucasArts was a legendary game development studio, best known for its iconic Star Wars games and groundbreaking adventure titles. As part of the Lucasfilm family, the studio was responsible for some of the most innovative and beloved games in the industry, blending storytelling, cutting-edge technology, and world-class design. I had the privilege of working at LucasArts during its prime years, contributing to some incredible projects before leaving in 2004. Sadly, the studio closed its doors in 2013, marking the end of an era in gaming.
