Answer:
The older Monkey Island games were based on a scripting language called SCUMM, hence a bar in the game was named after this language.
From Escape from Monkey Island onwards, the GrimE engine was used, which used the Lua scripting language. To “notify” this change, the game devs renamed the Scumm bar to the Lua bar.

No clue.
wiki lift.
“SCUMM bar” in The Secret of Monkey Island are both named after the scripting language.
In Escape from Monkey Island, victim of a hostile takeover, the “SCUMM bar” becomes the “Lua bar”, a nod to the programming language which replaced the engine used for the previous games.

Okay, no patience to type the long-ass answer I typed earlier, but – in the game storyline the name change is because of ownership change. In the real world it’s a shout-out to the change in game engine.
