Description

THE ULTIMATE CELEBRATION OF STAR WARS VIDEO GAMES! There has never been a bigger celebration of the history of Star Wars games than X-WINGS, LIGHTSABERS, AND SCORPION VADER. Written by videogame industry veteran Chris Baker -- who spent three years at LucasArts himself -- the book collects several long pieces he has written on the subject in recent years: some for Rolling Stone's Glixel.com in 2017, one for YouTube channel Superhero.VG, and another reflecting upon his time at LucasArts. More than 15 developers contributed exclusive quotes for this book -- even the composer for Namco's Japan-exclusive Star Wars for Famicom (where Darth Vader turns into a scorpion!). When appropriate, new content has been added from the original pieces.ANSWERING THE STAR WARS VIDEOGAME QUESTIONS YOU NEVER KNEW YOU HAD
