The king is dead

I woke up this morning with an itchy nose, which can only mean one thing its time to change the SCUMM Bar poll. Read the new question on the left, and the answer better be yes or well skewer you like a swish kebab. Or whatever that insult was.

The last poll got a great turnout with 145 of you eager to show your opinion concerning how long LucasArts had left. The breakdown was as follows:

  • 36%, the majority, adamantly believed that LucasArts was in effect already a dead company;
  • 27%, lagging far behind, surprisingly said that LucasArts will go on existing forever;
  • 23% claimed that wed be seeing a for sale sign over LucasArts any day now, whilst
  • the last 14% predicted that LucasArts would wind down over the next few years.

    Well just have to wait and see who was right.

    The LucasArts we all knew and loved (Past tense) is dead. But they'll go on making Star Wars games until about the end of time

    I am thinking when GL dies or becomes immobile then Lucasfilm and arts will gain their prestige back. Or it may take a good slap in the face. I intend to after i am done with art school to get ahold of ron gilbert and GL and converse with them about doing an 2d animated film of monkey island. I am trying to get down the style of CMI to the "t", It has the possiblity to be a great success like Shrek was and bring lucasarts back to its grand state if not better.
