His initial game wasn't Star Wars though. It was something else. Respawn pitched Star Wars but ea was hesitant at first. By late 2015 ea came around and they started on Star Wars scrapping whatever they where working on first. The Star Wars team is supposedly completely separate from the titanfall one.

Go to the last 3 or 4 minutes. That ign vid was October 2016 and he says approx. 1 year before that.

 

Well, late 2015 to late 2018 is still 3 years, so there is hope, Titanfall 2 was made in 2 and half years afterall. 

Titanfall 2 was. But the team had just put out the first and I'm sure they where very focused on what they wanted to do. Sequels can always be made quicker. They went into a different genre and essentially a new ip for Star Wars and a newly formed team. Late 2019 is a reasonable expectation. Maybe earliest for all 3: 

early 2019 respawn 

late 2019 battlefront 3

late 2020 viserals(well whoever took over).
