OG Star Wars Battlefront devs were asked to make Battlefront 3 in just one year, but Pandemic couldn’t hit LucasArts’ timeline - VideoGamer
Star Wars Battlefront 3 was in development at Pandemic Studios, but LucasArts wanted the team to make the game in just one year.

Pandemic Studios actually kicked off its own Star Wars Battlefront 3 right after Battlefront II, dreaming up seamless space-to-ground battles and next-gen tweaks for PS3/Xbox 360 – but LucasArts only gave them the same one-year window as the previous games. Between new hardware headaches and Lucasfilm’s marketing deadlines (Revenge of the Sith tie-ins, anyone?), the studio couldn’t nail a realistic timeline, and talks fell apart before they’d even built much more than a prototype.
Eventually LucasArts handed the series to Free Radical Design, whose version famously made it to about 95% before being canned too, and Pandemic shuttered in 2009. Decades later, EA’s 2017 Battlefront II still thrives, but a true Battlefront 3 remains as elusive as the Death Star plans.
