The ever-scooping giant we call Gamespot has dug up a late night story. They have a preview of Star Wars Battlefront 2 on the homepage. The piece includes some really sweet pics and a video interview with Shara Miller, the game's producer. She seems genuinely excited about the game, and we can see why. The title will be just like the first in the series…only bigger. Among the additions that stand out in the preview:

1) Seamless space to battleship action - you can hop in a small fighter and fly out of massive battleships into the stars. The space combat is impressive in the clip. You can also land your ship in the enemy's hangar and man their own turrets to weaken the ship's shields.
2) Storyline for single player - you'll be able to play as a character in a story mode that lets you experience a little bit of everything that the main game offers.
3) Episode 3 content - of course…
4) 64 simultaneous players on the PC version (there will also be PS2 and Xbox versions)
5) Release date is in the Fall of this year.
