THE ULTIMATE CELEBRATION OF STAR WARS VIDEO GAMES!

There has never been a bigger celebration of the history of Star Wars games than X-WINGS, LIGHTSABERS, AND SCORPION VADER. Written by videogame industry veteran Chris Baker—who spent three years at LucasArts himself—the audiobook collects several long pieces he has written on the subject in recent years: some for Rolling Stone's Glixel.com in 2017, one for YouTube channel Superhero.VG, and another reflecting upon his time at LucasArts. More than 15 developers contributed exclusive quotes for this audiobook—even the composer for Namco's Japan-exclusive Star Wars for Famicom (where Darth Vader turns into a scorpion!). When appropriate, new content has been added from the original pieces.
