Presented in a third-person perspective, the game allows players to engage in space, land, and air battles or build troops and upgrade armies in a strategy-based mode. Players can use laser guns (i.e., blasters), explosives, and lightsabers to destroy enemy robots (i.e., droids) and humans who often cry out in pain when attacked.

Rating summary: ” Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron is an action adventure game in which players experience different battles from the Star Wars universe. From a third-person perspective, players engage in space battles, ’speeder bike’ chases, and top-down battling.

ESRB Reveals Details On New Star Wars Battlefront Games [Kotaku]

LucasArts had them taken down, but not before swbf3.de could get them up on their site. Discuss this on our forums!

Already fan submitted gameplay videos have begun to surface on sites like youtube. Please join our forums to discuss the game!

“Star Wars Battlefront®: Renegade Squadron™ is the previously untold story of a ragtag ensemble of battle-hardened rogues and scoundrels assembled by Han Solo. Gathered to execute some of the most secretive operations in the Rebel Alliance’s war against the Galactic Empire, the Renegade Squadron participates in battles spanning the galaxy. From the Valley of the Sith on Korriban to a dogfight in space through the remains of Alderaan, Solo directs the team on missions of sabotage, rescue and retrieval.”

The title is a PSP exclusive and is slated for Fall 2007.

A big thanks to the LFNetwork representatives that went this year to bring us this information!

If you’re playing Battlefront or Battlefront II I recommend choosing a character with green in their outfit (or a green lightsaber). Those who don’t adhere to the “green only” rule may be begging to get pinched (use your imagination for how that would be done in the games)!

And if you see any Leprachauns, be sure to follow them to their pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow… have a safe holiday.

Discovery!

ok ok check this out, i dont know if anyone has figured this out yet, but its possible to play CAMPAIN maps ONLINE, without downloading ANY mods. the way u do this is run a Non-dedicated server and use the usual code for adding maps (/admin /addmap), but instead of putting the ending, _con, _1ctf, or _ass, put _c and you will get the campain mode of the map, ex: in cor1c_c you will be able to play the jedi vs clones on Coruscant as u did campaign but u play it ONLINE and you can play on BOTH sides. You can do this for everymap as long as it existed in campaign mode. Credit for this discovery currently goes to my freind ~GCU~GENRUDEDOG.
….
the evil side normally will win as they have the advantage, cuz they only have to take out reenforcements while the good side has objectives, but it is still fun, esp. hoth and kashyyyk

Thanks for pointing this out guys! I have yet to test this myself, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about this in the future…

Discuss the discovery in this forum thread!
