It's not so much the absence of those people in particular as it is the 
absence of anyone with more than the slight scrap of talent it takes to 
pump out the odd Star Wars shooter and the ability to outsource like crazy.

I guess I wouldn't mind if they had someone else make it and just 
published it, but anything from lucasarts' inhouse team had better have 
a solid ground concept (that they'd have to stumble on by sheer chance) 
or it will be a steaming pile of pudu.
