Star Wars Squadrons will be the first game to bear the sobriquet since Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike in 2003, and although EA Motive aren’t calling it an official revival, it was clear from my four-hour hands-on play session that they aren’t shying away from embracing Rogue Squadron’s core…well, motive: to capture the sheer, unbridled joy of fantasy space combat.
