Lucas arts showed behind closed doors during the last E3 a brief presentation of his next Starwars, now's the time to share it with you!
Sorry though about the poor quality of the video...
The physics engine is the center piece of this presentation, and it remembers us of the "CellFactor" demo (AGEIA PhysiX tech demo) where the player can throw the objects everywhere in the scene...
Update: First three artworks.

That looks fantastic!!!
I am certainly not impresed by the physics in this trailer. And more than turned off by the star wars license.
Game looks great, pity im not a star wars fan >_<
Indiana Jones is going to be the first game to really show of the tech. The vid the showed at E3 was extremely primitive and floaty due to the games early stage but it was still impressive. For instance lets say a character is thrown into the air by an explosion he will actively look for something to prevent his falling (in one case he actually caught a ledge). When push them, as they fall they will try to rebalance themselves by trying to latch on to something or buffer them selves as the fall. They try to preserve themselves in other words. This could be a big leap for AI.
DMM technology is basically the ultimate destructibility/physics engine that allows objects to be manipulated and destroyed based on their physical characteristics. I need to read more on this so I will get back to you later (I have been mostly focusing on Euphoria).
It's not a 100% trailer nor is it using any of the state-of-the-art tech thats been talked about already. It was created to give the prpogrammers working on the game a target to reach.

Some of us still love our SW franchise and are willing to pay for it if it's worth it. Battlefront I @ II, Republic Commando, Jedi Academy and both Kotor games were great games that I consider being worth it.
Jedi, bounty hunter or what ever... I look forward to future SW games and have hopes they turn out as fun as the previously mentioned games.
I suggest you all google them and read up.
