Shrouded in mystery, this secret Star Wars game is a next-gen entry around George Lucas' classic saga.
This title was shown at E3 2006 as a "Force Power Pre-Vis" demo for a breakthrough next-gen Star Wars title, but exact details about the story and game design are still being held back. (Reported rumors to the contrary, particularly one about a rumored Darth Vader storyline, have been disputed by the developer.)
NOTE: This platform is an expected target, but LucasArts has not given formal indication as exact platform plans. Please check back for official word.

April 19, 2006 - LucasArts is well underway with its next-generation development, and Indiana Jones is just the first title in its extensive corral. According to a New York Times article, George Lucas' game studio may be producing a new game that explores the history of Star Wars' lead villain, Darth Vader.
"Their excitement was palpable on a recent afternoon, when Mr. (Jim) Ward, Mr. (Peter) Hirschmann and Haden Blackman, the project leader of a forthcoming 'Star Wars' game, reviewed all of the company's recent projects," reads the NY Times article. "Mr. Blackman outlined a new storyline that delved deeper into Darth Vader's history.
"Mr. Hirschmann later demonstrated a test game, shouting and jumping each time a stormtrooper tumbled onscreen, the character barely catching his fingers on the pixel ledge. And he gleefully explained how researchers had tracked down images of San Francisco buildings from 1915 for the future Indiana Jones game."
To date, LucasArts hasn't announced any future titles other than the next Indiana Jones. When contacted by phone today, a LucasArts representative said they would not comment on rumors or speculation, though clearly the New York Times wasn't speculating.
