Since we're in the midst of Star Wars fever...

Figured I'd draw your attention to an upcoming strategy game set in the Star Wars universe. This game is supposedly going to deal with the time between Episodes 3 and 4 (the new movie and the first one) and have both ground and space battles...think I remember reading somewhere that there might be some scenarios with both simultaneously (a la Hoth in the movies with the ground attack + Imperial bombardment). Slated for release in Fall 2005.

Looks super-schweet atm...and I'm a big Star Wars dork because I can identify most of the ships. IGN seems to have the most screenshots, so I'm linking to them for now...my favorite pictures are the ones with the TIE Crawler (the tank with a TIE fighter chassis) and the shot with the Imperial Star Destroyer flanked by a Victory Star Destroyer and an Interdictor. The only thing that's missing out of these screenshots that NEEDS to be in there is mah baby, Executor. Something about giant Star Destroyers justs makes me happy. I mean, Stang & Gryph are up there...but Executor....mmmmmmmmm...

Yeah...Star Wars nerd.
