About LucasArts

LucasArts was created in 1982 by George Lucas to provide an interactive element to his vision of a state-of-the-art, multifaceted entertainment company. After the release of Star Wars Battlefront II, LucasArts is well on its way to making 2005 the biggest year in company history. Following the first Battlefront as the best-selling Star Wars game of all time, the sequel is already the fastest-selling Star Wars game ever and is on pace to overcome its predecessor. Earlier in 2005, the Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith video game was released and would go on to sell more than 2.6 million units. Star Wars Republic Commando was another resounding success, claiming the top spot on the charts for March Xbox titles. Meanwhile, Mercenaries has sold more than 1.7 million units and was the best-selling title in the first quarter of 2005.

 

The future looks bright for LucasArts as well, with such promising upcoming titles as Star Wars: Empire at War and an internally developed Indiana Jones release for 2007.
