Elite Squadron was originally the PSP port of Battlefront III done by a different studio. By that token, they were able to repackage their game as its own title when the flagship was canceled.

The game, from what I've heard... was a lot more completed than we'll ever see. From what I understand at least, some of the game (the most completed version) was lost and even the devs don't know where those files are. If that's the case, they're gone forever... and this that you're playing is the "most playable version ever (available to the public).

[@tobyflagg8058]

Then mods can complete it for us if there's no legal challenge?

[@VGLounge]

The reasons for cancellation were never confirmed, with LucasArts and Free Radical giving conflicting reasons. This build was found on a dev Xbox being sold online, and we have *0* way to confirm what the final state of the game was when it was cancelled.

[@ninjacats200]

My friend's dad worked with a guy that worked on the game. The dude told us it was 100% done when they canceled it. He said he and everyone else working on it have no idea why it was canceled. I cannot 100% confirm this though as I didn't talk to the guy. My friend did. But knowing him he would have no reason to lie about it. So idk.

[@VGLounge]

@@ninjacats200 Free Radical claims the game was mostly done but Lucasarts ran out of budget for marketing or something. Lucasarts claims Free Radical used Lucasarts funds for a different project. That's the last I heard

[@diegojose4173]

Apparently, it was cancelled because Free Radical had a lot issues optimizing the engine with people saying that the game could barely handle half the player-count on a map without suffering from unplayable framerate drops plus the fact that the Bot AI was never fully implemented to most game modes. Another reason was that LucasArts was livid with Free Radical for moving people working on the game to the development of Haze, which led to LucasArts believing that Free Radical was stealing funds to finish Haze which led to them cracking harder on the team to finish Battlefront 3 before the end of 2008, which they were unable to do.

[@usm4378]

The whole "this game got cancelled because it was broken and tried to do too many things" line pisses me off because for one, to this day we don't actually know what the official reason was for BF3's cancellation and the devs are not at liberty to tell us because they're under NDA. I've heard from some sources that Free Radical's funding was cut because they underreported their difficulties and consistently failed to meet deadlines, so the "too ambitious" allegation MIGHT be true, but that doesn't mean the game was impossible to make happen if they'd been given the proper amount of time to complete it. The idea that it was cancelled because it was broken, which Bombastic literally says in no uncertain terms at the start, is highly misleading. What he's playing is NOT a finished build, not even close. Despite what some on the internet might tell you, this game was not "99%" complete, it was basically feature complete, but they hadn't even begun to polish it when it was cancelled, so to say that it was cancelled BECAUSE it was broken is just straight up not true. Lastly, that bothers me because it's exactly what EA would like you to believe, I like the new Battlefront games but the cancelled BF3 had tons of features that would've blown those games out of the water, and whenever you bring that up, their defenders will simply say "oh well those things aren't possible" and this narrative that the game was cancelled because these features were/are unreasonable absolutely strengthens that argument. Let me be clear, they could ABSOLUTELY do ground-to-space in a modern Battlefront game, the PSP exclusive Elite Squadron game did it lmao, sure it wasn't seamless there, but it gave you a lot more freedom than the way they do it in EA BF2 where you can only enter the enemy capital ship via a cutscene. Games have been made with space to ground combat by studios that don't even have a quarter of the resources that Disney or EA have available, they could absolutely do it, and to tell Star Wars fans that they can't is practically lying to them.

[@StarWarsElites]

Amen brotha

[@CloneCommOmar]

It was cancelled because the game would not have been finished on time and Lucasarts management wanted to save costs. Delaying it was out of the question as the then recently released Haze had received many delays and ended up very bad.

I actually made a halo map in forge that was like battlefront 3 in that you had stuff on the ground and a capital ship battle in "space". It was a Stargate themed map, with functional "stargates", the gate room in stargate command, a Daedalus class battle cruiser, and a goa'uld mothership. It also had ring transports. Both the battle cruiser and mothership had hangars with aircraft (hornets and banshees in place of f-302s and death gliders).

12:33 The ion cannon from Hoth. In Battlefront elite Squadron PSP game there 3 ion cannons on maps. One on the planet and one on a capital ship which there are two of. You will have to fire the planet one at the capital ship a couple of times to take that ship to zero in order to land you Starfighter in side or you would spend ages trying to get the shield down to zero but a hero Starfighter could take it down quicker but still takes time. The ships ion cannon could target planet command posts and the other ion Canon I think. But capital ships don't have any of the other weapons like you showed in this video.
