Prior to 1990 and following 2021 it was and is known as Lucasfilm Games. Following the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm, Disney shut down LucasArts with all video game related licensing handled by Disney Interactive Studios and Lucasfilm itself, and an exclusivity deal with EA on Star Wars games made in the following 10 years.

| In 2021, LucasArts was partially revived as "Lucasfilm Games" with the intention of bringing back the LucasArts style of licensing with outside third party studios, and thus ending the EA exclusivity deal after 2023. The first game to be released outside of the EA deal and non-existing deals prior to the EA one barred (like Lego Star Wars) is Star Wars: Outlaws in 2024.
