Finally. I can't imagine why he wasn't fired after all the disasters he caused, but I guess leaving is the next best thing. |

I can understand him wanting to move on to other things, but why quit right before TFU2 is released? I would have at least waited until after that came out. |

Well, I don't know about Galaxies or Force Commander's sales but TFU sold really well. I'd imagine Galaxies did it too before something made people to leave. Maybe now it's possible that they begin to produce good books and comics

Galaxies was a failure. Force Commander was a failure. TFU was a failure; the game might have sold well, but it wasn't well liked, and the rest of the project was a failure - in contrast to, say, Shadows of the Empire, which The Force Unleashed project thoroughly ripped off. All those delays because of the whole COLLECT THEM ALL! mentality of the console releases didn't help either. Considering he's quitting before the release of TFU2, I think it's safe to say that's not going too well either. The comics he was involved with were also failures and are currently being written out of canon by Clone Wars. All in all, he's been in charge of one disaster project after another. |

I have to agree with JC on this part; When I read the things he had been working on I felt like it was more of a good thing than a bad thing that he left. However, I do think he should have waited for the release of TFU II, because he was involved with it's production. The company saying this will not affect development is bullpoop, of course this will affect development. |

I'm completely indifferent towards Blackman's departure. I'm not a fan of any of the games he produced (however I did play TFU and I thought it wasn't terrible...). Hopefully this will lead to new projects instead of sequels (or sequels of games that we actually want!). |

Amen to that! I enjoyed the Force Unleashed, but I don't think it needed a sequel. I'll probably play the second game anyway, but unless it manages to totally blow me away, I'll be sitting there going "this is alright, but you could have spent your time and effort making Battlefront III." |

Here's to a new, better age of Lucasarts! May Haden Blackman never touch anything Star WARS again. |
