DevTracker Highlights For The Week of May 3, 2010

Who doesn't love yellow text from Star Wars: The Old Republic developers throughout the week? First up is a lovely insight into the Sith Empire potentially looking down their noses at rare species from BioWare's Daniel Erickson:

Glad you're enjoying the comic! (And yes, Ulicus, we do occasionally read the theforce.net forums...)

In other news, Kotaku and Gamasutra are reporting LucasArts (publisher of Star Wars: The Old Republic) President Darrell Rodriguez resigned from his position. Jerry Bowerman will serve as interim president while conducting a search for Rodriguez's replacement.
