LucasArts held Community Summit 2006

LucasArts are making sure that they stay on the light side of the force. Come this Spring, the company that brought us the Star Wars Trilogy, and eventual MMORPG installments of the movie such as Knights of the Republic 1 and 2, and Star Wars Galaxies, will be visiting cities all over America – too bad I’m from Asia, but then again that might be a good thing considering how LucasArts can go all “Artsy”.

The developers behind the games produced by the company far, far away (I’m getting carried away here) are making a tour beginning April 7, 2006. Members of the LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment development teams will be traveling around the US in a series of Community Summits.

Among the game developer “jedis” that will take part on the summit are Grant “Rogue5” McDaniel, Julio “juliot” Torres, Jesse “Loche” Benjamin, Eli “SpaceRancor” Holding, Thomas “Blixdev” Blair, and Mike “fiasco” Farone. Key development team members will be featured at each event to speak with their “Padawans”

The summit was made to give fans the chance to talk with the developers face-to-face, find out about upcoming plans and future developments for the game, ask them questions in a live Q&A format, and connect with fellow players. Each event is free of charge and dinner will be served.
