We've all dreamed at one time or another of growing up to become a game designer. It used to sound so rad, up until we got a little older and discovered there's actual work involved, the kind of work that entails sitting in a dungeon hammering out code under the crack of the whip. Those fears were probably unfounded, and if you have the background for that sort of thing, LucasArts is looking to hire for three different unannounced gaming projects.
The first position is for Lead Designer of a first person shooter title. You'll be tasked to develop core concepts, game sysytems, and game content and to "contribute substantially and decisively to the evolution of the game design from intial documentation through testing." LucasArts is also looking for a Senior Gameplay Engineer for an aerial combat title, and a Games Producer for an action/adventure game.
Our minds run wild wondering what these games could be. As Gamespot points out, LucasArts has a history in all three genres, including the company's X-Wing series from back in the 1990s, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, Star Wars Dark Forces, Indiana Jones titles, and plenty more.

I personally enjoyed Republic Commando, but it was a game that didn't get the hype it deserved, in my opinion.

Star wars, Star wars and Star Wars. LucasArt went downhill since they devoted everything to that long-winded cash cow. When they flourished with innovative projects like their adventure games, they were brimming with talent. Now everyone worthwhile has left and all that remains is the same drivel.

maybe the flight one is about SW:TOR. The arcady shooter on rails they have has received a lot of flak, maybe they're thinking on adding something more like SWG's JTL or their old Xwing style space combat in the future

If Rogue Squadron got another sequel, or if Battlefield 3 incorprates better flying...I will cry in happiness
