GameTrailers has teased that LucasArts will be using their
GTTV platform to unveil the next brand-new Star Wars IP, which will be the first since The Force Unleashed (The Old Republic and Star Wars Kinect aside), and will mark an active return to the spotlight for LucasArts who appeared to drop off the radar after lacklustre reviews and sales of The Force Unleashed II.
GTTV's Geoff Keighley claims to have been "blown away" by what Lucas showed him, citing the "calibre of the team" and their "bold vision" as reasons he was so amped.
"I can't wait to introduce our viewers to this game and show off the footage that left my jaw on the floor when I first saw it," he teased.
This information is in line with our very own E3 bookings schedule, where AusGamers will be sitting in on a presentation for an "unannounced new Star Wars title" at the show.
Could it be the secret project ex-Ubisoft Far Cry 2 lead, Clint Hocking, has been working on since his departure from Ubisoft Montreal? Apparently we'll find out this Friday (Thursday in the US), so stay tuned.
As a talking point, and with a rich universe to pull from, what would you like to see, Star Wars-wise, come from this unveiling?

But yeah, another X-Wing type game with today's tech would be f*****g awesome.

TFU2 had its moments, and I'm a huge fan of Starkiller, but that final boss battle was an absolute joke

I really hope it's something hugely awesome, but it could be some. I'd be very happy with Battlefield 3, but I certainly wouldn't be blown away.
Won't be a KOTOR. Very unlikely it'll be an X-Wing/TIE Fighter/XWvTF game, but if it is - woah! Even Rogue Squadron would be freakin' awesome, but I don't think this is a HD rehash.
Nerfy... you and I are hoping for the exact same thing.

What I think we will get? - Something crappy and a waste of development time & resources that would be better spent making the above.
Other possibilities - Bounty Hunter game would be cool if done right. HD collection of some classic games.

We'll probably end up getting a new generic FPS of some description set in the Star Wars universe or maybe GTA: Coruscant (actually, that'd be kind of cool).

Couldn't agree more Therm. I still fire this up from time to time for some force power fun.
