Be it Lucasfilm Games or LucasArts, the video game developer rose to prominence in the 90’s with the Super Star Wars trilogy of games, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, The Curse of Monkey Island, Star Wars Rebellion, Grim Fandango among others.

The developer, publisher and licensor was downsized significantly after the Disney purchase to reflect Disney’s new goal for the company; to solely license video games.

The biggest license was to Electronic Arts, who was making the Star Wars: Battlefront series for Disney.  Now rumor are abound that Disney is revoking EA’s rights to the game to make more Star Wars content in house.  Disney is looking ofr a producer, brand art coordinator and brand marketing coordinator for LucasArts, or now referred to as Lucasfilm Games; which is their original name form the 80’s.

What the long term goal is here anyone’s guess.  There’s no public news, no real sign of any direction; just a few job listings, a wing and a prayer. It should be noted that even if Disney revives Lucasgames/LucasArts, the developers who created that brand have long since moved on, and there’s no telling what kind of quality product the brand would publish now.
