TheForce.Net (thanks Ant and VE3D) has details on plans for Star Wars: An Empire at War, a new real-time strategy game set in the Star Wars universe in the works at Petroglyph. The info, from the latest print issue of PC Zone UK, describes a HomeWorld style of play with space combat in addition to ground battles.

This is just on the PC as that's all that's worth playing... Good Star Wars games: X-wing and all direct successors (Tie fighter, alliance, etc) Dark Forces and all it's progeny. Bad Star Wars games: Anything that is even remotely inferred to be a "strategy" title. Mediocre Star Wars games: Anything that is even remotely inferred to be "adventure" Now, if they just took the Generals engine from EA, made it a star wars game and added some cool game modes involving jedi, made the maps 10x larger and had space tile sets. I think it'd be a good game.
