Someone just found the only early copy of Star Wars: Battlefront 3

The series of images, which includes a loading screen, main menu, as well as a single-player game mode selection screen, all suggest that Battlefront 3 was much more further along than expected. However, as is always the case with these "leaks", some users can't help but spoil the fun for everyone else.

As pointed out by multiple Redditors, the photos are more likely an early build of Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, a PSP spin-off that came out in 2009.

Regardless of what the early build is actually for, the most interesting part here is what the Redditor can do about the disc. As others suggested, they could copy its content to export it to a ROM file to help preserve the build. However, this could have legal implications. Also, if the owner does end up selling it, there's also the question if it's legally their right to sell the disc as they don't own the contents. Technically, they don't even own the playtest disc since they were supposed to give it back to LucasArts.

All legal problems aside, we're just happy knowing that the days of LucasArts canceling Star Wars games are over. If anything, there are too many Star Wars projects in development.

The floodgates opened as soon as EA lost exclusive rights to Star Wars video games. These days, we've got everyone from Respawn Entertainment to Quantic Dream and Ubisoft as well as Amy Hennig all working on a Star Wars project.
