A LucasArts spokeswoman has confirmed the reports of layoffs, noting that the workforce reduction is not indicative of troubled times at the company.

"I can confirm we had layoffs yesterday they were in the studio," LucasArts public relations director Margaret Grohne told Kotaku. "They had to do with where we are in our product life cycles."

"We are healthy," she added. "We have a good slate of games and we have some good stuff going on in production. We are definitely committed to the internal studio."

Original Story: While LucasArts has yet to officially comment on the matter, rumors are circulating that the developer has laid off a significant number of its employees.

According to Kotaku, up to 100 staffers are rumored to have been laid off, including LEGO Star Wars and Indiana Jones producer Shawn Storc, product development VP Peter Hirschmann and many from the quality assurance, art, programming, and development departments.
