Obi-Wan Rumours 17 Oct, 2000 / Comments: 3


I was given a url to a site called FatRumours upon which the follwing was to be said:
"There was a recent announcement from Lucas Arts Entertainment that their Obi Wan project has fallen out of the year's release schedule. Rumor has it the project leader on the thing for the last 3 years was one Stephen Shaw, who previously headed up the Mysteries of the Sith project. At Lucas Arts, project leaders are the producer & lead designer and overall dictators over their projects.
What the announcement failed to mention was management is pulling Shaw off the project and behind the decision was a classic "palace coup" with the entire team, sparked by the current lead programmer (the 4th or 5th on the project thus far). Shaw was on vacation when the decision was made, and he was even asked to delay his return for another week while management sorted things out with the team. Eventually the decision was to remove him from the project and admit to the inevitable delay.

Apparently Shaw is now working on some sort of "special projects team," which everybody knows is essentially one foot out the door. "
Hmm interesting, I have no idea how they know this.. or whether its true or not but hey! it's news!
