Don't forget Lucasfilm Games, nee LucasArts. They published a lot of games, both star wars properties and otherwise. They're now owned by Disney as well.

- Sakos 3y agoEh, Lucasflim Games was pretty much shutdown in 2013 and only stuck around as a shell just to license out to, uh, checks notes EA. They're nothing like what they used to be when they enabled games like Rogue Squadron, KotOR or Jedi Academy.
- sailfast 3y agoJedi Academy / KOTOR? Talk to me when you understand the wonder of Dark Forces and Outlaws. :)
- Apfel 3y agoInteresting to bring this up - always wondered which way the creative influence went between Monkey Island and Pirates of the Caribbean (if i recall correctly, the game is based off the ride, but the film was allegedly inspired by the game)
- eep_social 3y agoI recall the first film opening with bars of a song which also features prominently in the ride. Apparently the song itself was written for the rides in 1967 [1] and I assume is based off even older pirate shanties. Certainly reminds me of songs from the book Treasure Island (1883).

- mauvia 3y agoI thought there was a book somewhere in the mix as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Stranger_Tides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Stranger_Tides Wikipedia tells me the book inspired monkey island, the ride inspired both the book and monkey island, and the book inspired the fourth movie.
