Just crossed my mind: James Cameron’s movie **Terminator 2** was released in 1991. The same year Ron Gilbert’s game **LeChuck’s Revenge: Monkey Island 2** was released. Cameron hasn’t been part of the three subsequent Terminator movies. Gilbert hasn’t been part of the three subsequent Monkey Island games. Now, after 5 Terminator movie titles, Cameron is making a Terminator “3a” movie. There are 5 Monkey Island titles, so it would be fitting to get the Monkey Island 3a from Ron Gilbert. Let’s hope this similarity continues 🕶 ---

Wow! That’s a lot of similarities. @Dany82 Maybe your next crossover fan-game can be called “M2 – LeChuck’s Judgement Day”? 😃 ---

I was playing the uncharted 4 again and got nostalgic for a sec 🙂 Naughty Dog producer said, they needed to call Disney, before they could place Guybrush into the game…Disney didn’t hesitate a second and said yes right away… ![54194661_2401939490025392_8079785489046962176_n](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/6/642dc2f1f3a139035976cabbc4fe25dd37a71254.jpeg) ---

Well Disney World at least knows they have the property, as I just heard a song from Monkey Island in one of the buildings around Pirates of the Caribbean! ---

just in case you havent read this yet, and here is my thoughts: If you look at the career page, its mostly about Parks, that could includes gaming development in some cases, but VR / AR for Parks is almost the same as gaming or other interactive process, so gaming is pretty much the same. At least, we can hope, icebergs might moved. But I am still very afraid of Disney game development and leadership. Anyway, I talked to VP of Disney Interactive before he has been promoted VP. He was head of lucasfilm business development and he was looking for people to the team saying: who wants to be in Lucasfilm games again? and I was wondering, what he means Lucasfilm games? Is Disney Interactive dead (always been) and it was an year ago. Before that, I sent letter to EVP / GM of Lucasfilm about re-opening Lucasfilm games with possible solutions, offers and team suggestions. I got response she read it and It was about 18 months ago and now we have this article out 🙂 > **[Disney is reviving Lucasfilm Games (not LucasArts)](https://www.pcgamesn.com/lucasfilm-games-revival?tw=pcgn_ne&fbclid=IwAR36OASFrePEUhYVaMypazOjtr9m599-8lk62VlLznU3H0hQewBzV8ZaX-k)** > > Disney is bringing back Lucasfilm Games, the forerunner of LucasArts, to work on "interactive products" for PC and consoles They also updated Lucasfilm people!

> [@patrik3dspacek](#): > > Naughty Dog producer said, they needed to call Disney, before they could place Guybrush into the game…Disney didn’t hesitate a second and said yes right away… I miss playing this game and seeing Guybrush in real life. Also, i remember I watched an interview of the developers (I think). It’s just sad that Guybrush was made to this unnamed character and was shown as this pirate that will forever be a mystery (although I think acronyms of his name was shown but I would have expected more credit than what they’ve given him) ---
