Star Wars Math: Jabba's Game Galaxy Download PC

Star Wars Math: Jabba's Game Galaxy is an educational Star Wars game released by Lucas Learning in 2000 for Windows and Macintosh. The game used characters from The Phantom Menace to teach kids basic maths skills.

Development

Our main goal with Star Wars Math was to create an engaging game for kids, that still has all the components parents are looking for: recognizable math content, high replayability, and an overarching goal with lots of rewards and encouragement. We wanted to go beyond the standard math drill and practice software game and excite kids about math in a new and fun way that was well integrated with the Star Wars universe.

— Collette Michaud, project leader for Lucas Learning., The Force

After working on various games as LucasArts - the last of which was Mortimer and the Riddles of the Medallion, Collette Michaud helped to found the children's edutainment-themed sister company Lucas Learning and served as project leader and designer of “Droidworks” and “Star Wars Math Jabba’s Game Galaxy." Early on, a few Lucas Learning employees met with George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch to discuss his goals or creating learning software for children, which led to Lucas offering some early noted for DroidWorks; however he soon became preoccupied with the Star Wars prequel trilogy so didn't offer much interaction after that, including for Star Wars Math.

At the 2001 National Educational Computing Conference, Lucas Learning announced the direct-to-school distribution of 6 of their titles, including Star Wars Math.

Buying via the LucasArts Company Store, customers would get a limited-edition magnetic jigsaw puzzle.
