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.
Predator, and Star Wars comics, joined the team just six months before launch as one of the game’s lead writers.
The ending has stuck with players because of its many implications for Star Wars lore, and it’s stuck with Barlow for the same reasons.
“What has been so rewarding about it is that 20 years later, it’s still in people’s minds and hearts,” Barlow said.
And it’s not a reflection on me, but a reflection on just how powerful that idea was and what Star Wars means to people.”In 2004, Barlow was an editor at Dark Horse Comics, which published Star Wars comics before Disney acquired the franchise in 2012.
