Lucas Arts is no more.

Source.

All current projects (1313 and First Assault) are now cancelled. ****. Those two were shaping up to be great games as well, I guess Disney is trying to tone down on the "mature" themes.

Considering what Force Unleashed was like (terrible on PC) and Force Unleashed 2 (universally reviled)... this doesn't surprise me. I think the last thing the studio made was a Kinect game that was also a massive failure, I'd think it was probably just playing the odds that 1313 wasn't going to make the studios deficit back. Considering the content in the Marvel Movies though, I doubt it's a toning down.

This is just my personal opinion though, not actual official Disney reasoning or employee knowledge.

Well, that's a shame.

Admittedly they haven't produced a game that I really liked in some time, but still there's a lot of fond memories there...

They made some classics. X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and those titles come to mind. They filled me with much joy during the days when I first got a PC....

I remember Lucasfilm Games (before they became LucasArts). I loved The Eidolon and Koronis Rift. Those were amazing on the Commodore 64.

From the adventure days, I have them all loaded into ScummVM, so I can play Full Throttle, Sam and Max Hit The Road or Curse of Monkey Island any time I want. And then there was Dark Forces ...

Ah, Dark Forces... much time was spent in that world. Which reminds me, with a new trilogy coming out... does that open up an opportunity for Jedi Knight 3?
