New York Times - At LucasArts, No Playing Around in Quest to Be No. 1:
"In September 2004, Jim Ward met with the director George Lucas at his office at Skywalker Ranch near here. At the time, LucasArts, the video game company created by Mr. Lucas in 1982 and run by Mr. Ward, was in disarray. The division was making too many mediocre 'Star Wars' games, it was rife with internal rivalries and it was in such lackluster financial shape that bonuses for employees were scrapped that year."
