The Shadows of the Empire Team in Rogue Squadron

LucasArts signed a huge deal with Nintendo, which was basically a three-game deal around Episode 1. The shadows of the Empire team who had just finished that moved onto racer and they said, well damn, how do we do this? Because nobody, you have to realize inside the Lucas organization, nobody wanted to work on anything, old trilogy at the time, old trilogy related. And so, yeah, that's how Rokes-Gorten came about. It was basically our old idea of doing a landscape flight action game and definitely free roaming. That was always in the cards and slapping Star Wars onto it.
