EUCantina (EUC): Mr. David Collins (DC): Thanks for the invite! EUC: Now, you are the audio lead for LucasArts and have worked on many of my favorite games, including Kotor II and Republic Commando.

DC: Basically, My job as an audio lead means that I’m “responsible for everything that comes out of the speakers.” The Star Wars projects that I’ve lead in this capacity are Republic Commando, Battlefront II, and The Force Unleashed. But being a lead means that you are married to the project from its concept phase all the way up to its ship date. Wait, David voiced him?

EUC: You are currently working on Lucasarts’ upcoming The Force Unleashed game. DC: Sure! David also voiced him.
