Disgruntled LucasArts employees spill the beans...
According to reports, LucasArts has gotten shot of around 100 staff. As a result, some particularly annoyed employees leaked information that there is a KOTOR 3 project with BioWare and it is within the MMO genre. Some other unnanounced titles were revealed as Battlefront 3, another LEGO Indiana Jones game, and a Star Wars lightsaber game for the Nintendo Wii.

As well as the Knights of the Old Republic MMO, these former employees have also been revealing other as yet unannounced titles in the LucasArts schedule. These include the much expected Battlefront 3 (probably in development at Free Radical Design), another LEGO Indiana Jones game, the Euphoria-driven Indiana Jones games unveiled at E3 2006, and a Star Wars lightsaber game for Nintendo's Wii. The final game is likely to be the Clone Wars game first hinted at last week.
Although games such as Fracture and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed are too far along the development cycle to be affected by the sackings, other projects may well be. These sackings will leave LucasArts short staffed and reports suggest that the publisher will likely be outsourcing their projects more frequently in future.
