New LucasArts book goes on sale 14 Feb, 2010, 15:50 / 10 comments

Following the success of Rob Smith's Rogue Leaders, a second LucasArts-based book is now available.

Discarding the image-rich and archival based esoteria of the first book, LucasArts is a text-heavy expose featuring essays on a variety of topics:
  • Graphic Adventure Game
  • Star Wars
  • LucasArts Adventure Games
  • List of LucasArts Games
  • List of Star Wars Video Games
  • iMUSE
And if you're worried it won't be well-researched, then here's the best part: this is High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!™

Buy it here. Or read it here.

    Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (J/k)

    Why release such piece of rubbish?

    When I was editing the Grim Fandango entry a year ago, even the character backstories were messed up.

    Well, I say it's time for The Big Book of Mojo, featuring our star researcher, ATMachine.

    I second that emotion.

    Thirded.

    Egad! I edited some of those pages! I demand compensation! Where's my trailer? Personal assistant?!?

    I'm going to say this as a Wikipedia editor: most (less two or three, such as Grim Fandango's article) of all the articles on LucasArts adventure games on Wikipedia are a load of rubbish, barely holding out on the site as it is, let alone qualifying as high quality by anyone's standards!

    I may not be too knowledgable on legal matters, but I'm pretty sure you can't publish and sell GDFL-licensed material just like that anyway.

    Yes, you can as long as the license is included. And at least 5 of the main editors are listed. That last one can be waived though.

    What a spectacular ripoff!

    I don't think so.
