That is the latest title by Rob Smith and George Lucas.
“Adorned with a 3-D faceplate that flashes Darth Vader, LEGO Indiana Jones, Guythrush Threepwood from Monkey Island and the Purple Tentacle from Maniac Mansion, the book is as elaborate as the coffee-table books that detail the making of each Star Wars film.
Rogue Leaders contains more than 300 sketches and images of concept art, and via remembrances from those who worked on the games, Smith illustrates how LucasArts helped pioneer major developments in gaming, including point-and-click game features, 3-D characters and online worlds.”
Chronicle Books is the publisher, and the product description states:
“In 1982 George Lucas saw potential in the fledgling videogame industry and created his own interactive-entertainment company. Twenty-five years and dozens of award-winning games later LucasArts has earned a prestigious place in the industry and in the hearts of gamers everywhere. Rogue Leaders is the first substantive survey of a videogame companyóa deluxe compilation that traces its history through never-before-published interviews. In addition more than 300 pieces of concept art character development sketches and storyboards have been lavishly reproduced to showcase the creative talent behind such videogame classics as The Secret of Monkey Island Grim Fandango and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic as well as games that were never publicly released. A thrill for millions of videogame and LucasArts fans around the world.”
