Development for the video game adaptation of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, was a logistical nightmare for everyone involved. The game began under an entirely different team before being totally scrapped and restarted from the ground up with a new developer, The Collective, less than a year before its scheduled release. Jeremy Barlow, an Eisner Award-nominated comic book veteran who’s worked on Mass Effect, Alien Vs. Predator, and Star Wars comics, joined the team just six months before launch as one of the game’s lead writers.
“Back then, before a big movie came out, marketing had this big push where they would release a video game, the novelization, and the comic adaptation a week before the movie came out because that was the peak time for people to be interested in it,” Barlow told Inverse.
