About this listen
Today, we’re heading to a galaxy far, far away to explore the origins of Star Wars and its earliest ventures into video games, starting with the iconic Star Wars Arcade game from 1983. We begin by tracing George Lucas’s long road to bringing his space opera to life, from rejected drafts and studio rejections to the scrappy production that nearly didn’t make it to theaters. Then, we dive into the history of the first Star Wars games, including Parker Brothers’ early Atari 2600 titles and the legendary arcade cabinet that let fans relive the Death Star trench run. Finally, we reflect on how these games captured imaginations and laid the foundation for four decades of Star Wars gaming. So, buckle in and fire up your X-Wing as we blast off on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane!
