rone | lucasarts vp of marketing jar-jar binks had "no-sa comment"

syringavulgaris and solipsistnation wanted more details regarding the LucasArts upfucking of KOTOR2.

From RPG Vault, an interview with Lead Designer Chris Avellone and Producer Chris Parker where they talk about the game and the pressure to get it out and what needed to be cut. They talk it up and try to spin it as a good thing, but c'mon, you and i can read between the lines.
There's an online petition where fans are asking LucasArts and Obsidian Entertainment to restore the scripted ending that is actually in the game files that are installed (and there are accompanying sound files as well), which was extracted and reconstructed (BIGTIME SPOILER OF GAME ENDING) by two enterprising souls.
A good summary of the above, and more, can be found at TheForce.Net editorial.

Maybe i should consider the lack of a Grim Fandango sequel a blessing in disguise.
