A New Star Wars RTS Game?

Star Wars: Empire at War RTS GAme
Yes, it does seem to be true... there is a new Star Wars RTS in
the works. Well, while I shouldn't be too surprised on this news, considering
the popularity of real-time-strategy games and the success of Lord of
the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth. So, what does this new game entail?
Well, the only spot I could find some report at was the very reliable theforce.net,
which points at that British PC Zone will have a small segment on the game
in its February issue. This is what the game is about [according to British
PC Zone]:
This new PC game is set two years before ANH with a certain amount of cross over from Episode 3. Screen shots look superb. It appears to include ground battles set in dessert and greenland areas with attacking AT-AT's and a new Imperial ground based vehicle called "TIE Crawlers" which I've not seen before (cross between a tank and a TIE Fighter). The action also takes place in space with rebel fleets taking on Star Destroyers (think of the game Homeworld). Unsure when the game will be released as it is in the early phases of development.
Sounds pretty interesting, now lets just hope it doesn't flop like Battlegrounds.
However, I doubt this will occur considering that Petroglyph is handling
the project [same company that helped create the Command & Conquer series.
