EDIT: Now to save me from a shitstorm later in the week, at this moment the story is mere rumor and speculation. I'll report more as the story develops.
In addition, the fan who contacted the director said that Marazzo might be in the position to release some storyboards by the end of the week. This is very good news to all the Battlefront fans out there.Chris Marazzo said:Thanks for getting in touch. 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. It was by far the most fun and coolest casting I ever worked on.
