LucasArts President to Depart

Kotaku is reporting that Jim Ward will be resigning from his position as LucasArts president for "personal reasons." Given his involvement with the Knights of the Old Republic games, it's tough to say if this will have any effect on the franchise.
Margaret Grohne, PR director for the game development arm of Lucas Films, said LucasArts found out about Ward's decision Monday evening.

"He told the company he was leaving for personal reasons and he didn't elaborate on that," she said. "He is leaving in a couple of weeks.

"We are starting a search for a new president and in the transition Howard Roffman, president of Lucas Licensing, will be stepping in. He has been with the company for over 25 years and very intimately connected with the games business."
