Thimbleweed Park was Ron Gilbert explicitly making a retro LucasArts style adventure game. In the kickstarter pitch they mentioned it was supposed to be like someone finding an old forgotten game from '87 on a floppy disc. With certain design improvements that come with a long history of game making, of course.
With Monkey Island 3, I believe the game will have many hallmarks of Gilbert & Grossman's design, but they're not trying to make a retro game anymore. That's something I think Ron got off his chest with TP. A while back he was posting about a new adventure game engine he was making & testing out with the Delores mini adventure. That game featured updates to the controls and interface of TP and it wouldn't surprise me if we got something similar in Return to Monkey Island.
