of course it's not at pandemic. There is a reason that they gave it to free radical instead of pandemic again. Pandemic was bought by EA and that means they are under the arms of another publisher.
Then Free radical had to go and self implode and now it's probably in limbo.

The fact that Pandemic wasn't going to make it was known like 2 years ago when they were bought by EA. So, this is actually REALLY OLD news...

 

 

well lucasarts is letting bioware make the kotor mmo. why wouldn't they let pandemic make sw; battlefront?

because Lucas arts had a pre-existing deal with bioware on that.  Also, bioware had been working on it for like 3 years already when they were bought out, so it would have been too much wasted effort to cancel the project. 

As it is, I'm sure that Lucas Arts had a contract with Bioware that couldn't be broken.  Most publishers don't like lining the pockets of their rival publisher's.
