It already sounds like it will eclipse Rogue Leader in graphics and gameplay options.
Although details are scant, Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike is under development, and already it sounds like it will eclipse Rogue Leader in both graphics and new gameplay options. LucasArts has confirmed that a couple of the new scenarios will include speeder bike chases and AT-ST battles set in the forests of Endor, while one of these screen shots implies that you will actually play inside the Death Star as well.As in The Clone Wars, you?ll be able to jettison your ship and play as various characters on foot in a third-person mode in addition to switching ships midlevel. Playing as Luke Skywalker, after crashing your snowspeeder during the Battle of Hoth, you can get out of the speeder, run under an AT-AT, and use your grappling hook to hoist yourself up and destroy it before hopping on a Tauntaun and fighting your way to a transport. Once you get to the transport, you strap yourself into an X-Wing and go up against waves of TIE Fighters. Best of all is that Rogue Squadron will have various multiplayer modes in addition to what should be a wicked single-player experience.
