Today, I looked upon the SU job listings again...
See what I've found.
Write well architected, robust, and maintainable code with good coding standards for all platforms with an eye towards usability for multiple games.
What may this mean? Will they possibly develop another title of that franchise (hopefully SWBF3)? Or will they give their finished work to the publisher (hopefully Lucasarts) so he can continue the franchise...
Or do they want to use it for a completely different game?
Develop and maintain network ready code to ensure that it meets multiplayer/coop functionality and requirements: client/server state replications, latency, synchronization, cheating, etc. etc.
Coop?! YES PLEASE.
This artist will oversee their level production and work on key hero meshes
Dunno what that means, i'm german.^^
Explanation, please?

English is my first language, and I don't know what they mean by that.

I think it's to do with the skeleton (more wirey, less boney) a 3D artist works with. This would be referring to an artist working on a 3D structure for apparently iconic characters.

If this all leads to BFIII it could be a reboot which as I believe was discussed somewhere else entirely, seems ideal.

I'm still not seeing Battlefront. The Action/Adventure label still makes me think it's along the lines of a Dark Forces/Jedi Knight title if it's a Star Wars game.
