LUCASARTS' STAR WARS ROGUE SQUADRON II: ROGUE LEADER BLASTS AWAY

COMPETITION IN FIRST WEEK OF SALES

Star Wars Flight Action Game Debuts as Top Third-Party Title,

Second Overall for Nintendo GameCube

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- December 5, 2001 -- Star Wars Rogue Squadron

II: Rogue Leader, from LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC, blasted apart

the Nintendo GameCube sales charts in its first week of availability,

debuting as the top third-party title and second overall for Nintendo's new

game console system, according to NPD/TRST.

"We're very happy with the strong initial sales performance of Star

Wars Rogue Leader in North America," says Mary Bihr, vice president,

worldwide sales and marketing for LucasArts. "In fact, LucasArts has never

sold as many units of a title in so short a period of time. Early

indications point to demand for Star Wars Rogue Leader remaining high

throughout the holidays and well into the new year."

"Star Wars Rogue Leader flew off shelves immediately and has been

Electronics Boutique's best selling title for Nintendo GameCube," says Pete

Roithmayr, vice president of merchandising/video games at Electronics

Boutique. "The game is so popular it even showed significant sell-through

one week before the system was available."

Star Wars Rogue Leader, developed in conjunction with Factor 5, features

stunning, movie-like visuals, and immerses players in an intense

action-arcade experience. The game's aerial conflict takes place in a

variety of craft such as the legendary X-wing, A-wing, and B-wing, amidst

extraordinary 3D settings including the perilous Death Star trench run, a

daring space attack on a Star Destroyer, and the legendary ice planet of

Hoth. Star Wars Rogue Leader is the sequel to the hit Nintendo 64 game from

LucasArts, Star Wars Rogue Squadron.
