When reports came in that UK based studio Free Radical was shutting down, it was widely believed that the studio's current projects were going to be scrapped. This included both Time Splitters 4 and a collaboration with LucasArts, which was rumored to be Star Wars Battlefront III. Now that the studio is no longer working on the title, some early concept images of what the game could have looked like have been leaked.

Originally posted by former Free Radical 3D artist Richard Smith on his personal site (which has since been removed), the images show 3D models of familiar faces like Han Solo and Emperor Palpatine, as well as what appear to be new characters. The artwork also shows off a few different alien species, including the diminutive Jawas and the lanky cloners, the Kaminoans. However, the images are dated to back in 2007, so a lot of changes could have been made in that time.

While it looks like Free Radical will no longer be developing the game, it has been rumored that another UK studio, Rebellion Development, will take the reins. That studio has some previous experience with the Star Wars IP, having worked on the PSP title Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron in 2007.

However, like the actual existence of the game itself, none of these rumors have been confirmed by either LucasArts, Free Radical, or Rebellion.
