TheOriginally called LucasArts, '''Lucasfilm Games''' is the game development firm of Lucas Film Licensing LLC (of [[George Lucas]] and ''[[Star Wars]]'' fame) that's in charge of doling out the license for all official ''Star Wars'' and ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' games. In addition to the aforementioned, the studio is also famous for producing adventure games like ''[[Full Throttle]]'' and ''[[Day of the Tentacle]]'' as well as the ''[[Monkey Island]]'' series (and most recently, the ''Mercenaries'' series), as well as a series of [[World War II]] and ''Star Wars''-themed flight sims developed by Lawrence Holland's Totally Games! studio, mainly ''Battlehawks1942,'' ''[[Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe]]'' and the ''[[Star Wars: X-Wing]]'' and ''[[TIE Fighter]]'' space combat games.
 
More recent titles that they've either published or developed in-house include ''Fracture'', ''[[Mercenaries]]: Playground of Destruction'' (note that its sequel, ''Mercenaries 2: World in Flames'' had its publishing rights given to [[Electronic Arts]] by developer Pandemic) and ''Star Wars: [[The Force Unleashed]]''. However, ''The Force Unleashed'' would prove to be the last in-house game developed by [[LucasArts]]Lucasfilm Games; soon afterward, in the summer of 2008, the studio was disbanded, with [[LucasArts]]Lucasfilm Games announcing that it would go back to its roots as strictly a title publisher.
