Well, this isn’t Battlefront news, but it is something that is quite unexpected and interesting. Today, according to IGN.com, the President of LucasArts, Darrell Rodriguez has officially resigned. Reasons for his resignation are still unknown, but maybe he realized that not releasing Battlefront 3 was the biggest mistake ever 
LucasArts has confirmed reports that president Darrell Rodriguez has resigned from the company today. A reason for his departure was not provided, however.
“Darrell Rodriguez has resigned and we have initiated a search for a new leader,” the company said in a statement given to IGN. “Jerry Bowerman – a member of the Lucasfilm Board of Directors and a games industry veteran – will be stepping in to lead the LucasArts executive team during this transition. Lucasfilm remains fully committed to making great games and we continue to invest in our business.”
An unconfirmed report from Kotaku notes that several members of Rodriguez’s executive team have also left LucasArts. It’s believed these moves will have no effect on the titles currently in development. Rodriguez was named president of LucasArts in April 2008. Prior to joining the company, Rodriguez served as the COO of EA Los Angeles.
LucasArts recently announced the release date for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, the company’s most anticipated title of the year. The game will ship on October 26.
Let me know your thoughts!
this may sound mean but thank god… LucasArts have just gone downhill since he became the prez. Hopefully they can get a new one to get them back on their feet..
Well, here is the problem with Star Wars: Battlefront III: Its the system of gameplay, class based wars, is being used over and over. It just used to be Battlefield, Battlefront added some flare with third-person perspectives and then with the more iconic feel of space battles.
But now, time is running out: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/transformerswarforcybertron/news.html?sid=6261295&mode=previews
Accually it looks kinda good. That’s cause Bay isn’t involved.
well now this puts an strin on things right guys????
Mabye we’ll have a president who isn’t making crappy clone wars games and acctually give us what we want
Definately
we had 3 lego games… enough is enough!
BRING ON BATTLEFRONT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goodbye dude. Start your own company. Gamer politics
Well… I know this game is coming out but now the question is: “when?”
Well, I’m mixed about this. On one hand, it could be very good, maybe the days of lego SW games and crap games will stop and we’ll go back to Jedi kNight, KOTOR, Battlefront days again. On the other, maybe we won’t, and instead it’ll FURTHER push the stupid lego games on us. I don’t know man.
Hopefully TFU2 is good, I liked the first one, but after a while, it got boring.
Please please please make BF3 already. We’ve been waiting so long and every time new news comes out, it’s always bad. We need some good news already.
Ummmm interesting, maybe the knew director guy will say “WHY ARE YOU IDIOTS TORTURING YOUR FANS!!!! “GET THAT GAME FINISHED AND RELESE A TRAILER!!!” Thats what i hope happens.
Sry i spelt new wrong.
LucasArts is a publisher, not a developer. So they won’t have anything to do with the making of another BF in the beginning. Some other company has to pick the project up first. So I hear Jerry Bowerman will be taking over temporarily, I wonder what he’s like.
Well that is a damn shame, I really liked that guy for linking LucasArts and Bioware in to a good partnership. It would be nice if his replacement does something BF3 related, but that is unlikely. Cheerio D-Rod!
that sucks battle front 2 and 1 were both top sellers they are really stupid if they dont make a knew one
haha, “Lucasfilm remains fully committed to making great games “, that’s hilarious. but sad at the same time ’cause i wish they’d make good games again like kotor 3, battlefront 3, republic commando 2, and a new jedi knight, just something good and not corny and not a cheap thrill like the lego and clone wars and force unleashed games.
thanks for the info.
