Definitely excited about this one as well.   That is great news!

I'm excited as well.  I'm tired of the "modern warfare" theme, so this will be a welcomed change of scenery.

Confession. I played SWBF2 for many years and still do. I have over 10,000 medals in the game. To my knowledge there was a SWBF3 but it was scrapped at 99% due to bleaping Disney buying the franchise. This current title was supposed to be called "Star wars Battlefront" I could be wrong but it was last time I checked, if they did indeed put a 3 in the name at least they have got enough respect to acknowledge another companies works.

Oh I think there was almost a Battlefront 3 before that too, but Lucas Arts stopped that one. An even worse decision than rushing KotorII.

This reboot though will definitely be the test of how well EA handles its Star Wars monopoly...

Oh yeah! I've been excited for this game since they showed the teaser trailer last year at E3! I played SWBF2  with my friends all the time!

They better have Bespin Platforms, Kashyyyk Docks and Rhen Var Harbor, or I will unleash havoc on my undergarments.

I should've been a beta tester for it. I found EVERY glitch in that game. Every AI exploit. Everything. I even started ignoring the battles for a cool little speeder bike glitch I found in Kashyyyk were you go off the map or in the trees. Fun.

thanks ID!

Latest update:

"I grew up with Star Wars, watching the classic movies over and over and collecting all the toys I could afford. Since then, like most of our team here at DICE Stockholm, I’ve never really left this fantastic universe.

A little over a year ago, we learned that we had the amazing opportunity to work on aStar Wars game. I’ll never forget the moment when this was officially unveiled at our company meeting with the entire studio present – you could literally touch and feel the excitement in the room. This is the spirit I feel from the team every day, whether we’re trying out the AT-AT on Hoth or racing speeder bikes through the forests of Endor."

Wonderful... I guess :/ hope it works and is fun AND not SWBF2 2.0. Please let it be just a little different!

It looks awesome. I can't wait to blast some rebel scum. For me Star Wars Battlefront, Fallout 4, and Halo 5's war zone mode were by far the best part of E3.

You can pre-load the PC beta for Battlefront now.

Looks like the beta is open and free, as well.

I've been playing it on my xbox one and it's the best looking game I've seen on the console. I can just imagine what it looks like on a top of the line rig on a 4k monitor/tv on the pc. The music is really great too. It's not the greatest game, and I'm not sure how much longevity it'll have, but for it's great if you're looking for some mindless fun.
