Oh, and from the site:
| Quote: | LUCASARTS ANNOUNCES NEW PC TITLE STAR WARS EMPIRE AT WAR�
Marin County, Calif. � January 21, 2005 � LucasArts revealed today that it will give PC players the opportunity to control the fate of the galaxy in an all new real-time strategy (RTS) game titled Star Wars Empire at War� (tentative title). Set a few years before the events of Episode IV A New Hope, the game will let players rewrite history as well as experience the aftermath of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, the creation of the Rebel Alliance, and Darth Vader�s rise to power. Star Wars Empire at War is scheduled for a release in Fall 2005.
Using an entirely new game engine created by the Las Vegas-based developer Petroglyph, the game will feature beautifully rendered land and space battles set on memorable planets such as Hoth, Tatooine and Dagobah as well as never-before-seen environments taken directly from the Star Wars films and expanded universe novels. In the game, players can choose to join either the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire, building and setting up tactical forces that can be unleashed on the enemy in real-time 3D. All of the gameplay and action within Star Wars Empire at War is a persistent, meaning that strategic and tactical elements from previous events will have a permanent effect on the galaxy.
As players build, manage and progress their space and ground-based units, troops and vehicles, memorable Star Wars hero characters will begin playing a role in key situations. In addition to the single player campaign mode, the game will include a two-player Empire vs. Rebellion mode and up to eight player online skirmish modes. For more assets and information on Star Wars Empire at War, please visit www.lucasarts.com. |

It looks an impressive game. I remember when they tried this before with Force Commander and that was rather dire in my opinion. Let's hope they get it right this time!

If my computer were actually able to run this, I think I'd still choose Battlefront 2 over this. Bad memories of Force Commander lol...

I probably would as well, but I think that this game will be a lot better than Force Commander

Isn't Obi-Wan supposed to be on tattoine between 3 and 4? I wouldnt expect him to go on the odd battle or two inbetween because he is looking over luke

My guess is that it's just because.

I'm guessing that like before, different levels are set at different times in the series. Possibly Obi-Wan will appear on the Geonosis level or something? From the trailer it looks as though you'll be able to play as Mace Windu so that level must be pre-ROTS...of course it might not be Mace Windu, just a character that looks like him...
