According to a listing on Lucasfilm Recruiting’s website, LucasArts is looking for a Senior Gameplay Engineer.
That in itself is fairly standard. However, job listings give us clues into what a company is doing, and LucasArts wants to hire someone to work on an Aerial Combat Title. Now, LucasArts has experience in this genre, namely the X Wing and Tie Fighter series.
The job listing asks for someone who has “experience with flight sims, aerial shooters, and especially space-based shooters.”
There have been some rumours flying about of an X Wing remake and this may be the first indication that LucasArts is working on it.

Would be good if it was a Star Wars space shooter type game. I remember playing a few older Star Wars mac games with pod racing and space battles with the fighter space ships (don’t know what it was called) played it with a joystick

Considering LucasFilm made “Red Tails”, surely this is just a game based on the upcoming movie?

Oh, right, “experience with space-based shooters.” Maybe not.

HD remakes of the Rogue Squadron series and I’ll do a Cartman and freeze myself til launch day.
That said, X-Wing Alliance is still up there with my all time favourite P.C. Games.
Super Jar-Jar Kart is not without it’s charm though…
