A History of Star Wars Video Games

This season of Drink the Video Games I'll be taking a look at the galaxy far, far away and checking out Star Wars Video Games! In this first episode I'll go into the past to learn about the first Atari Star Wars games, look at how the storytelling evolved with Lucasarts, mix up a Sasori Vader cocktail with Michaela from Drink the Movies, and see how the Star Wars video game world continues today. There's a lot of games to check out, and this season I'll be deep diving on four game series that showcase how Star Wars went from the movie we all loved, to the video games we all love.For more information on the formation of Lucasarts, check out my episode from season one here!https://youtu.be/jMa3SXu2hOchttps://www.instagram.com/drinkthevideogames/https://bsky.app/profile/drinkthevideogames.bsky.socialhttps://www.youtube.com/@DrinktheVideoGameshttps://drinkthemovies.com/https://www.patreon.com/drinkthemovies*Please Drink Responsibly*
