There is an interview with LucasArts' Peter Hirschmann at Gamespot detailing the new project;
...Indeed, Day 1 president Denny Thorley told GameSpot that the deal with LucasArts was partially inspired by Mercenaries, LucasArts' non-Star Wars-related collaboration with Pandemic Studios. That game won widespread critical acclaim for its innovative gameplay...Apparently this is not a Star Wars game, so don't expect some AT-AT / AT-ST simulator just yet.
