George Lucas is a writer/director who has been involved in numerous projects, most notably the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films. His creations have had success in various media, including comic books and graphic novels, especially in the case of the Star Wars characters who have held numerous titles in Marvel and Dark Horse. Much of the current media of Star Wars, both in the video games, cartoons, and comics ultimately is still approved by George before it ever is seen by the public. Such is the case of The Force Unleashed, as well as Lucas specifically asking Dark Horse writers not to kill off certain characters in the comics, who George Lucas obviously has plans for in the future.
