New and previously unpublished interviews reveal LucasArts' key milestones, while more than 300 pieces of concept art -- many of it never before published -- showcases the inspirational artistic talent behind the classics.

Revisit legendary titles like Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango. Star Wars and Indiana Jones fans will find all their LucasArts favorites in here too, as well as previews of the newest games, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance and Indy's next-generation adventure.
