Earlier this year when LucasArts announced their plans for a special edition version of their classic adventure game Monkey Island 2 they mentioned that there would also be in-game commentary from the game's original creators. Today LucasArts revealed more info about the feature and the people who will be involved when the Special Edition is released later this summer.

The game's original creators Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman will offer up their views on how they made the original version of Monkey Island 2 while player check out the new Special Edition with its revamped graphics, audio and more. Gilbert recently ended a stint working at Hothead Games creating the upcoming game Deathspank while Schafer went on to form Double Fine Studios. Grossman is currently working at Telltale Games where he helped to make last year's new episodic game Tales from Monkey Island.

While LucasArts is trying to work on more original games like the just revealed downloadable title Lucidity, that doesn't mean the company isn't abandoning their still popular Star Wars franchise. For the PC fans can expect Star Wars The Clone Wars Republic Heroes game to be released in a few weeks and of course BioWare is working on the long awaited MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic.

But in a chat with GameTrailersTV, LucasArts president Darrell Rodriguez he said that's not all they are working on. He admitted that they have a number of internal but currently unannounced Star Wars games in development. In addition he said he has met with a number of former LucasArts game developers like Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Ron Gilbert and Larry Holland. He stated, "Wouldn't it be great to work with them on some new things?" Hmmmmm . . . sounds very promising.
