Day One of Celebration III was a big one for gaming fans, with hands on time with Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and the official announcement of Battlefront II. Here's the full details courtesy of LucasArts' press release:

Star Wars Battlefront II improves upon the original game?s single-player experience with open-ended, mission-based objectives inspired from all six Star Wars films. The compelling storyline spans more than 12 new locations, many from Episode III, including volcanic Mustafar and the space battle above Coruscant. All-new classic movie moments complete the Star Wars Battlefront II experience, as players battle within the interior of the Death Star and visit Princess Leia?s blockade runner, the Tantive IV, as seen at the beginning of Episode IV A New Hope. In addition, at certain key moments within the battles, players can feel the Force as a Jedi.

For the first time ever, Star Wars Battlefront II players can engage in space combat and, during the same battle, board enemy ships to attack from within. Starting on foot inside a capital ship, players can enter the spacecraft of their choice and travel into space to dogfight with the rival faction. From there, they can dock within the enemy?s capital ship, overtake the ship?s command posts, man its turrets to disable its shields and destroy it from within! Or, they can simply stay inside their own capital ship and defend it from attacks and enemy fire. The choice is theirs.

Battlefront II is set for a Fall 2005 release in the US for Xbox, Ps2 and PC. Be sure to visit the official website for brand new screenshots.
