Okay this may have happened a while ago and we missed it, but reader spaceship789 just pointed out that Lucasfilm's website got redesigned at some point. Why am I telling you this? Well, for one, the opening collage artwork is almost cool enough to melt the jaded heart of any fanboy.

LucasArts is even represented in the collage by characters from original titles like Armed & Dangerous and... Sam & Max? Yes oddly enough, Max appears at the bottom of the image, looking far happier than he's looked in his life. Maybe George is a Sam and Max fan or something, who knows? More likely than not, the artwork for the site was done long before Sam and Max got cancelled and it was too late to change it, but its funny how they keep showing up at the least appropriate times.

    This looks nice, but it sadly confirms Sam and Max are now part of Lucas' history...
    They are proud of it and they cancelled it ? Definitely despisable businessmen...

    This is old news. Until you have demos, trrailers, screenshots etc. like Hust Hadventure, then you are nowhere near even being a timely, balanced site.

    TAKE THAT.

    BURN (I burned you)

    Has this to do with Steve Purcell's "Max-in-every-game-contract"?

    Howard The Duck is there, too.

    That collage with original characters makes me think G Lucas likes originality. Sam & Max are originals. Hope the math works.

    Me thinks that George likes money more, but maybe I'm being unfair.

    Am I dreaming, or wasn't it once said that George Lucas was actually a Sam & Max fan?

    Simon Jeffery once told us that after viewing the LucasArts 20th anniversary video montage, George asked why Sam and Max weren't in it.
