Wow. That's one way of romanticizing the crap you buy, Disney.
How about you hire Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, and Dave Grossman again too?
Why not just keep it as LucusArts. That was a great name.
I've got a bad feeling about this. This doesn't strike me as "Disney will abandon the EA exclusivity and license the SW name to whoever wants to make a good game", this sounds like they are trying to hide or protect themselves from some sort of legal scuffle by changing the name of the company.
LucasFilms Games is an imbecile name imho, and Star Wars isn't on an unprecedented creativity phase, at least not in the positive aspect of it.
What was wrong with LucasArts?
For me LucasArts works fine, and is applicable to basically everything they have launched. To have a double name on Film and Games is odd, even more when it is only for the gaming branch.
There has to be some sort of legal problem for them to not keep the old LucarArts name. Not sure if royalties, licensing or copyright, but there was no need to change what wasn't broken otherwise.
Lucasfilm Games is the classic name.
Not that I'm denying that LucasArts rolls off the tongue a whole lot better, but Lucasfilm Games was the company's original name, before it rebranded as LucasArts at the start of the 90s.
Lucasfilm Games is the classic name, founded in the 80s. It is clear Disney want to live off the established brand name, but it isn't the same team as it was back then.

LucasFilm Games was actually the original name of LucasArts. They released games like Rescue on Fractalus in the 80s.
Does that mean EA gets the boot? I hope so, that would mean I can finally buy Star Wars games again.
Ugh.
Hi Everyone, I just wanted to share this Lucasfilm Games bet challenge that I just created. I hope you like it and find it challenging: https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=244127&viewbet=1
EA mismanaged the property. Companies like Obsidian and Nintendo did a better job with it than EA ever did.
Well imho 4 star war games in 7 year is already to much. That is plenty of saturation.
So you want to say it isn't milked enough because it isn't as milked as before? Most good games and IPs we see get one or 2 entries in a gen, SW is being milked on several fronts already and you ask for more on games, and we have seem most of them not being terrific.
Pokemon and 2D Mario likely have even bigger gaming IPs and you won't see yearly releases. And in case of multimedia itself Pokemon is likely more profitable than SW.
I’d buy an XBox today if Obsidian would make KotOR 3 for it.
You also have 2 Lego Star Wars games (Force Awakens and the upcoming Skywalker Saga) which released during EA’s tenure they weren’t EA made.
