Fact is though if Rebellion hadn't been in "secret" talks with Lucas over Star Wars Battlefront 3 for the PS3 and X-Box 360 (Rebellion had the PsP and the PS2) then Lucas wouldn't have pulled the plug on their Star Wars game. This MUST have had an effect.
Using Free Radicals assets and the Rebellion SW team being "sworn to secrecy" - it was only a matter of time before the "UK's biggest independent developer" (sic) managed to wangle themselves the licence for the Ps3 and X-Box 360 versions.
Problem was - time and the insane deal they did to "get" the game away from FR.
All the time FR thought things were fine Rebellion were there in the background...waiting and promising a better deal.
Eventually Lucas struck the deal (December 08) to work the game.
The SW team being given the wonderful news of creating a PS 3 version of the game to add to their PsP and PS2....which sucked big time for the dev team.
Ahhh Rebellion...don't you just love 'em?
Lets NOT mention what happened on The Simpson's' Game.........
Just yet...
