George Lucas, creator of Star Wars, was not happy with the game, because the game was demonstrated to him as being able to shoot at Imperial Officers. The reason was because, as Lucas said, "You shouldn't have those guys in there because they're too human looking. There's a reason I made Stormtroopers, because I didn't want to feel like you're shooting other humans."

When Lucas was then shown how to play, he got more into playing it.
