Lucasfilm Games vice president Douglas Reilly says more Star Wars games could be made following the success of Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Star Wars: Zero Company.

One of the great things about Star Wars is it has all kinds of other opportunities to tell stories in different genres, Reilly said.
