Probably time for a thread on this, since we're getting the first real trailer on Friday.
Due out sometime this Fall on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Please be good, new Battlefront! I'll be buying a new console for you (and Rock Band 4).

Probably PS4. But if my best friend isn't interest in playing this, I might go the XO route instead so I could eventually sell it for something when it goes into The Vault.

The original Battlefront was one of the first video games I played with my sons when my oldest was in fourth grade. This newest installment I'll be playing with him while he's away at college. Time does fly.

Wonder if killstreaks will result in you being able to be a Rebel or Empire hero / villain? I recall that was a feature in BFII?

An Impressive First Look At Star Wars: Battlefront
Before our solider turns his head, we heard a familiar breath drawn. A slow turn to the right reveals Darth Vader. His saber is glowing dangerously red, and he's just 10 feet away, looking menacing and ready to win this war by himself.
Our soldier fires off a few laser shots, but Vader blocks them with ease. Vader draws near and the demo ends.
Nicklaus Fegraeus, DICE's designer director for Star Wars Battlefront, says players get the chance to suit up as villains like Lord Vader by obtaining power-ups scattered on the maps. He went on to say that these encounters play out like boss battles. The power-ups range from shields, the ability to pilot a walker, or other things.

I'm 99% sure I know the answer to this, but it's MP only, correct? I can't recall the other versions having and SP modes... and I wonder if that will be chastised like Titanfall was?

I don't know if that's been confirmed or denied yet. However, Dice's Battlefield series usually have had some sort of SP campaign; the Bad Company series having the best SP experience in my opinion.
Edit: I take it all back. Looks like there is no SP campaign but there are story driven missions with coop.

Missions will put you in “highly replayable” scenarios inspired by events from the movies.

Re: Star Wars: Battlefront (2015)
I had my expectations kind of low, but I was still disappointed that we didn't see more game play. The opening trailer for the panel was a nice graphical showcase, but I wanted to see the game.
I am still skeptical, especially with how much I loved Battlefront 2. I played the shit out of Galactic Conquest, and instant action. It's too bad Pandemic is gone!

I've never been a big Star Wars fan so other then playing a bit of the space sim a long time ago and the Pod Racer game, I haven't played much else Star Wars related. This looks interesting to me though, will see how reviews are.
Star Wars Battlefront will be a first- and third-person shooter; players can choose which perspective suits them best. The focus, DICE said, is on online multiplayer with up to 40-player battles, but the developer is creating offline challenges inspired by moments from the films that can be played solo, or cooperatively either online or split-screen. Fegraeus said those offline challenges will be highly replayable, with a variety of difficulty levels.
The game won't have a traditional campaign, DICE says, of the kind we've seen in the studio's recent Battlefield games.
