Disney Closes LucasArts

This is such a bummer. The vfx and game industry is just getting hammered. Best of luck to all the LucasArts artists and staff. I know how it feels to be shutdown by the Mouse.





















Disney Shuts Down LucasArts, Cancels Star Wars 1313 And Star Wars: First Assault
'Staff were informed of the shutdown this morning, according to a reliable Kotaku source. Some 150 people were laid off, and both of the studio's current projects—Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 1313—were cancelled. Disney will still use the LucasArts name to license games, but the studio is no more.' via Kataku


Disney Kills Star Wars 1313, Lays Off LucasArts Staff

That noise you just heard was the other shoe dropping: Lucasfilm said today that it will cease internal game development at LucasArts, following the company’s acquisition by Disney in November.
“After evaluating our position in the games market, we’ve decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company’s risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games,” read a statement issued by Lucasfilm. “As a result of this change, we’ve had layoffs across the organization.” via Wired
