He replaced Jim Ward who abruptly left in early ‘08. Right now Lucasfilm’s Jerry Bowerman will hold the fort until a replacement is found.
”We can now confirm that Rodriguez resigned from his position, and that Lucasfilm’s Jerry Bowerman will be holding the reigns while the company searches for a full-time replacement,” reports Kotaku. There’s worry among the LucasArts game fans now.
Rodriguez was the one who pushed for revival, in the form of special editions, of old classic LucasArts IP like Monkey Island. Could this be an end to HD remakes? It’s not been all good though as internally developed Fracture tanked for the studio.
Still there’s LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Indiana Jones and Star Wars The Force Unleashed that have done the studio proud. Where will former EA Los Angeles COO and now former LucasArts president Darrell Rodriguez go now?
