Naah, he wouldn't take the job. You why? Because then he'd say: " I' don't know how to run your video game company, and quite frankly I don't want to".

Ward also apologized to the press before submitting his official resignation, saying "We never meant to ruin the once respectable game company, but I really needed a Porsche."

I am the only one capable of making a game worthy of Star Wars.Well, me and maybe Bioware. Everyone else SUCKS ASS or is deceased.Listen to me, Lucas, I am your only hope.

No quite a straight Star Wars reference but one of the Monkey Island started with a parody of the "THX Sound" intro thing but with monkeys instead. If my memory doesn't fails me, it was "TMI" (The Monkey Island).

Dear Lucasarts, Please hire someone who will bring back Monkey Island and Grim Fandango. I'd even be happy with a lego Grim Fandango. You've made enough money on star wars this and that to take a hit and just write off a game for your old fans.
