Having originally gone by the Lucasfilm Games name when George Lucas first launched his video game banner in 1982, the company formally became known as LucasArts in 1990 – which is what it has remained up until this latest change.

Originally putting out classics like Maniac Mansion, the Monkey Island franchise and several Indiana Jones games, it wasn’t until the 1990s that Lucasfilm regained the licensing rights to develop Star Wars offerings.

Star Wars: X-Wing, Star Wars: Rebel Assault, and the ‘Super’ trilogy of SNES Star Wars games are all early Star Wars highlights for LucasArts, with several other fan favourite releases following over the subsequent decades.
