We haven't heard anything on the subject of Star Wars: Battlefront 3 in quite some time -- so long, in fact, that we had nearly forgotten all about it. But when a forumgoer pointed out to Battlefront3.net that a casting director named Chris Marazzo noted on his personal website that, "After casting over 200 commercials and various projects in NY and LA, including most recently Star Wars: Battlefront 3 with Lucas Arts," the rumor popped right back up onto our radar. The folks at BF3.net asked Marazzo about his involvement with the title and got a somewhat straightforward, if not partially confusing, response. "The original title was Battlefront 3, but it evolved into Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption ... however, Battlefront 3 is also in development. "
There's a possibility we'll find out more about a new entry in the Battlefront series this evening when the Spike VGAs premiere information on what's next for the Star Wars gaming franchise. In the meantime, we've contacted LucasArts for comment and will update this post if we hear more.

If you can watch it on tv that would be great, otherwise good luck with the epic lag on the website stream

You can't say MMORPG without saying RPG, true story. Neglecting to say the RPG part doesn't mean it's not still one.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
I've been waiting for this game, that's great that it's still in development.
Battlefront 2 was one of my favorite games last gen.
Now all we need is KotOR 3.

As completely overwhelmed with euphoria as I want to be, the fact that the guy said it evolved into Forces of Corruption throws some serious doubt. Forces of Corruption could in no way at all have started as battlefront 3. That was an expansion pack to empire at war FFS, how could that happen? Either there's something im neglecting to think of or this guy is seriously confused. The only thing i can think of is maybe the idea of Tyber Zann and the Zann Consortium; the enemies from forces of Corruption were originally meant to be a BF3 army, but that seems incredibly unlikely. I still have hope though! God do I have hope!

I'll bet my horse that this is going to be the big Star Wars reveal on the VGAs.

Words cannot express how excited I am to hear this, so instead I will convey my feelings to you in the form of an image.
