Summary
Fuse Games and Lucasfilm Games are developing Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the first Star Wars racing game in 20 years. Rather than relying on nostalgia for the Nintendo 64 classic Star Wars: Episode I Racer, the team is drawing inspiration from George Lucas' love of hot rod racing and the real history of post-World War II hot rod culture. The game is set in the New Republic era and aims to tell a grounded, post-war racing story that reflects the cultural roots of motorsports.

We wanted to tell a story that felt grounded in real racing history, not just in a galaxy far, far away.
This is the first Star Wars racing game in 20 years, and we wanted to honor that legacy by doing something new.
