I have no idea if this is brand new stuff or previously unseen old concept art, but I suspect it's something new. The only partial image shown outside HS, depicts stormtroopers (post-ROTS?) either flying or floating in water. No context given.

Secrets of Star Wars 07
Ok, those of you with Hyperspace accounts can now enjoy a new series of tantalizing concept art and other stuff meant to hype whatever is in store for the 30th anniversary of Star Wars.

Probably...
More about the game nyah and nyaah.
Looks to be intersting. Hopefully it comes out on PC, and has cheats. I ain't much of a gamer, but I like cheating through them for continuity info.
It seems like an awful prosaic project for the Hyperspace folks to be hyping up, though, unless it's part of a greater multimedia event a la Shadows of the Empire or Clone Wars.

Sounds to me this is something a Sith would do. I personally found it to be a little distasteful and borderline Force Wanking.As the Stormtrooper screams, the Jedi repeats his actions and then by the third lift crashes the armored clone horizontally into the bulkhead of a wrecked ship. In pain, the trooper tries his hardest to make the Jedi stop by grabbing onto a piece of metal protruding from the spacecraft... only to be pulled off of it (ship metal still in hand) for one final death blow. As this is happening, an Imperial TIE Fighter soars out of the sky firing at the Jedi -- and it's then that the stormtrooper is used as a human projectile and is thrown at the fighter causing a huge explosion. It was a great way to end the movie.
Otherwise, it does sound pretty neat. I don't care so much for graphics, just so long as it's fun to play, has a good story, and is true to GL's vision of Star Wars.

Is it just me, or does one of the pictures show a Jedi single handedly taking down a Star Destroyer? Please, say it ain't so...

As an aside, is that an Acclamator?
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

I'd say it's more of an "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. I had to go for a walk now." moment than a "Woohoo, I blew up a Star Destroyer" one.
And it does seem to combine Imperator and Venator elements. It could possibly be a prototype version or one designed to take advantage of the strengths of both designs.

Oh god. What if this is their "solution" to Imperator ---> Imperial? Judging from the OS Databank it sounded like Imperator was just a prelimenary design. (is that Pablo's doing?) >___<
Then again, my theory is that "final design" only means those refitted ISD-I's seen in ESB and ROTJ, while the ANH ISD-I's were the original Imperators.

Actually, the Databank only says that testbed models of the Imperator existed shortly after the Clone Wars, not that the Imperator is the testbed model. ROTS ICS also says that the Imperator wasn't renamed into Imperial until after the Jedi Purge, which went on for quite some time. Therefore, the Imperator is still safe.
However, even though the wording of the Databank doesn't refute Saxton's work, I do suspect that it was an attempt by Pablo (or whoever wrote it) to play down the Imperator name.
