Remember that amazing footage of Star Wars Battlefront III we caught a glimpse of yesterday in the [[link]] leaked footage? It looks like we’re never going to be able to play that game.

SPOnG reports that a [[link]] former Free Radical employee has verified that the footage is genuine, but that the game has already been passed to a new developer. Worse still, the tech that allowed you to fly from the ground to air and then into orbit stayed with Free Radical. The new developer, [[link]] the source says, will now be using cutscenes.
The source did confirm that my careful listening did pick up the correct phrase in the cutscene, with a Sith saying “stick to the plan Kenobi” and that the Free Radical game was to feature another attempt to turn a Jedi to the Dark Side.

No word if that made the hand-off.
And now a moment of silence for what would have been a great game.
