Feeling blue because a fresh Star Wars game hasn’t hit the market within the last 12 or so hours? Feel free to cheer up with the above, but restrain the excitement: that image is from Free Radical’s canned Star Wars: Battlefront III project -- a thing that has managed to stay lifeless despite the attention.
As usual, several more images of the cancelled game have surfaced on the Internet, courtesy of artist portfolios. Web site X Cast Online has a full gallery of fresh images discovered within, created from the work of Samir Battistotti and Allistair Burn.
The images are a bit on the skeletal side -- in general, there’s no next-gen sheen or even hardcore textures. There’s a reason for that: in the game, Darth Vader decides to strip the galaxy of all its beauty with a large cannon that uses concentrated Force-power-stuff. He hoped to bring all to his side through visual misery.*
*Just kidding. Game was cancelled -- that’s why the images look like Darth Vader's face.

Interesting to look at for me at least.
OH GOD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Though Lucasarts fail more every year, a failtastic game being announced would come as no surprise.
Most of the screenshots appear to be from just one level. Add in the fact that only two assets are being pimped and I don't think they got that much development done before it was canned.

When it is eventually announced I'd like to see improve flight mechanics and a little more depth to the space portion.
Also, we need a new Battlefront :-(
