Jim Ward, at LucasArts Singapore apparently got sacked for the game not shaping up on time.
Gamasutra has an article all about the "step-down".

Check out the post at the bottom, from anonymous.
It is pretty scathing to say the least.
Attended a lecture a while back where guys from LucasArts hailed the whole "convergence" success. Zeno, Zed and some other component (Zam maybe?) were all on display, and I have to say, it looked and sounded solid.
I’m a big fan of LucasArts (card-carrying member, you might say) but this kind of chatter is disconcerting. I hope it is all hot-air and exceptions rather than rules.
And then there is the Krome blogs where they complain about the Wiimote…
Even still. I can’t wait to see DMM in action.
