Lucas Learning was a subsidiary of LucasArts in order to provide challenging, engaging and fun educational software for classrooms. They have created many award-winning educational games for the PC such as The Gungan Frontier and DroidWorks were based on the national curriculum.

The company was located in San Rafael, California, and was headed by former MECC senior vice president of development and creative director Susan Schilling. Shilling asserted that Lucas was personally involved with the products and that a company mantra was to stay away from violence. They released games from 1998 until announcing their cancellation of a Mac version of Star Wars Super Bombad Racing in mid 2001, the year Lucas Learning was eventually reorganized into Edutopia, or the George Lucas Educational Foundation, independent from Lucasfilm and left the market.
