IIRC, Lucasarts had a massive legacy reputation as a publisher, but toward the end of its life, the public perception of Lucasarts had soured after the cancellation of Star Wars Battlefront 3. According to the developer Free Radical, Lucasarts cancelled the game, didn’t pay the developer for creating a “99% finished” game, the developer went bankrupt, and then all the assets fell into Lucasarts’s hands since it was their IP. These assets were then repurposed to create Renegade Squadron for the PSP.
