Haden Blackman, the executive producer and writer on The Force Unleashed, has resigned from LucasArts to "explore new creative challenges."

"I've had a fantastic time working with the team at Lucasfilm and am really grateful for their ongoing support," he said. "While the decision to leave LucasArts did not happen overnight or come easily, I really feel that now is the best time for me to move on and explore new creative challenges and I look forward to the next phase of my career."

Interesting.

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Interesting so Force unleashed was supposed to be a trilogy like Kotor was supposed to, and like with Kotor the third game gets cancelled.

Should we blame the current head of LucasArts or does this happen to be another George Lucas move.  Who knows.

The cancellation of the HD game for Indiana Jones was a major failure in my opinion as well.  That game bit it and they put all their energies into the first force unleashed.

 

I hope this shakeup leads to better games but sadly the games will probably be farmed out Force Unleashed and Force Unleashed II are some of the last games developed internally at Lucasarts.  Most of the recent games being from outside developers.  Hopefully the Old Republic game is uneffected since that is Bioware.
