Sites pull Battlefront III footage after Lucas threat

IGN's yanked footage of Star Wars Battlefront III due to LucasArts pressure.

The publisher told the site the movie of Free Radical's project - confirmed as real by insiders - was "the intellectual property of Lucasfilm" and had "been posted without permission."

It looks as though the Kotaku footage we posted last week has also been pulled.

The off-screen video was taken from an alpha meeting at Free Radical last year.

Free Rad was apparently relieved of the project in 2008, months before entering administration. Pandemic is thought to be working on the game at the moment.
