Apparently the president of Lucasarts, Darrel Rodriguez is not the president of Lucasarts anymore.  No word on why, but this is potentially very sad.

Why?

because Darrel Rodriguez is the man responsible for making possible all of the recent, (and awesome) Monkey Island games.  The special edition of the Secret of Monkey Island, Tales of Monkey Island, and soon the special edition of Monkey Island 2: Lechuck’s Revenge.  none of these would have happened, and that’s a very sad thought. 

The previous president, Jim Ward, was the dunderhead responsible for axing Sam and Max: Freelance Police, among other things. Now, obviously, Rodriguez’s departure is no guarantee that Lucasarts will cease to do the things that in the past year or so have gained their respect in my eyes, but  I can’t help but be super nervous that the focus is going to return to Star Wars, and nothing but Star Wars.
