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
