This article doesn't mention it, but others that came out at the time of LucasArts officially shutting down mentioned that a Day of the Tentacle HD remake had been something like 80% completed before being scrapped. What a shame. :/

But, hey, at least BioWare are believed to be working on another Star Wars game, lets hope its not an MMO, bit weird when they're still making Mass Effect 'universe' titles at the same time though, like they're competing with themselves...

Elmofongo: I have the article myself on magizine.

I am more saddened they did not put any images of their point-and-click adventures. Just Star Wars :(

“The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a ‘Darth’ title,” a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’ There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”

nadenitza: Video games are not movies... why are people that have no touch with gaming always at the most important places that count what goes and what not?!

backbreaking deadlines
inane design decisions
complete out of touch with gaming

poor devs...

Darth Icky, tho, hahahahaahahahahaha
It seems that a large chunk of the gaming industry is dominated by high-ranking execs who probably wouldn't be caught dead ever playing a game. "Video game development? Ha, I know what you're thinking but those nerds need someone like me around to teach them how to make money."

"The last game published by LucasArts was Kinect Star Wars."


one of the saddest sentences in that article.

"Darth Itchy" is mentionned here. Close enough.

I think I could stand Insanius, I mean there is a Darth Tyrannus (Count Dooku) and Darth Sidious (Palpatine/Emperor)

But Darth Icky. That there is the final nail on the coffin that George is just washed up.

Yeah I mean have you seen other Darth names?

Darth Bandon sounds bland and unintimidating.

Except if he's in charge of moderating some Elder Forum or whatnot.

Even if not, it's still more intimidating than the other Darth Tryingtoomuch (Darth Scary, Darth Notthegoodguy, Darth Grrr, etc).

A secret sith council with, notably, Darth Whine, Darth Spamu, Darth Capslok and Darth Goatse.

For me the best one was "Darth Charnus". Anyone speaking a Slavic language would expect him to be black. But surprise! He's not!
