Update: Lucasfilm Games Continues Commitment to Oversee Lucasfilm Properties
Update: Since publishing, IGN has spoken to a representative from Lucasfilm, who clarified that Lucasfilm Games has existed and helped to ensure games meet Lucasfilm’s standards ever since the closure of LucasArts.
Any job postings for Lucasfilm Games are due to Disney wanting to make sure their game scene is staffed appropriately for any Lucasfilm properties.
Disney as a whole is still focused on third-party licensed development and are still very committed in working with EA.
IGN apologizes for any confusion our initial report caused readers.
Original story follows:
Disney seems to possibly be ramping back up its game division of Lucasfilm Games, with multiple job postings listed on Disney’s career site that detail working specifically for Lucasfilm Games, as reported by PCGamesN.
The roles include producers, art directors, and marketing coordinators to work out of San Francisco, including a branch for territories in Asia.
The job summaries include descriptions such as roles that support, “the visual development and production of multiple licensed titles.” As well as job responsibilities that say, “Meet with game developers both in person and remotely to ensure product vision and quality benchmarks are met.”
Qualifications include that applicants must have five years of, “gaming experience on a ‘AAA’ mobile, console, or pc product,” with AR and VR experience a plus.
Canceled: EA Vancouver\u0027s \u0027Orca\u0027
\r\n
\r\nAccording to a report published yesterday by Kotaku, EA has canceled the open-world Star Wars game in development at its Vancouver-based studio. The now-canceled project, reportedly code-named Orca, would have put players in the role of a \u0022scoundrel or bounty hunter who could explore various open-world planets and work with different factions across the Star Wars universe,\u0022 according to the report.
\r\n
\r\nKotaku says EA ultimately pulled the plug due to the game\u0027s projected length of development. A \u0022smaller-scale Star Wars project,\u0022 with a projected 2020 release date, is said to have replaced Orca at EA Vancouver, though \u0022some\u0022 workers at the studio are hopeful Orca will be revived following the completion of this new project.”,”height”:720,”width”:1280,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2019\/01\/16\/orca-1547655716106.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2019\/01\/16\/orca-1547655716106_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:”Star Wars — EA Vancouver Project”,”objectRelationUrl”:”\/games\/star-wars-ea-vancouver-project”,”albumName”:”Every EA Star Wars Project”,”relativePosition”:”01″,”albumTotalCount”:10},{“caption”:”Canceled: Visceral Games and Amy Hennig\u0027s \u0027Ragtag\u0027

\r\nAn earlier incarnation of Orca was previously in development at Dead Space studio Visceral Games, with former Uncharted creative director Amy Hennig at the helm. That project, however, met a similar fate in 2017 when EA shut down Visceral and canceled the game.

Lucasfilm Games was founded in 1982 by George Lucas and ran until 1990 when the Lucas companies were reorganized and the games division changed its name to LucasArts.
After Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, they closed the game development division of LucasArts in 2013 and only kept the title to remain a licensor.
EA has since held an exclusive Star Wars license, releasing two major Star Wars titles in the past six years – Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront 2.
The upcoming game from Respawn Entertainment, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is reported to be revealed at 2019’s Star Wars Celebration Chicago.
For more on Star Wars and what Lucasfilm is up to, check out details for Star Wars Celebration Chicago happening in April and stay tuned to IGN.
