Tie Fighter, X-Wing Returning?

The new Star Wars trilogy has put a shadow over a majority of LucasArts classics, not the least of which are games like X-Wing, Tie Fighter and X-Wing: Alliance. Of course, the company decided to revisit many of its old franchises by giving some of them a decent makeover and releasing them via Steam.
Keep your fingers crossed, 'cause we may just see some more titles from LucasArts (emphasizing the "may" though).
LucasArts president Darrel Rodriguez hinted on possible X-Wing and TIE Fighter releases. When asked whether the space sim series would return, Rodriguez's offered a vague reply: "We don't have any announcements now, but stay tuned," he said. That's according to G4TV. "We will soon....." he said.
Given LucasArts' recent revivals of their oldies, it's a strong possibility they are going to make the same move with their X-Wing and Tie Fighter releases. On the other hand, brand new editions or even revised editions of the games would be awesome news indeed.

right.....time to take out the heavy artillery.
"Overall PC sales figures for 2009 are bleak, consumers are fast losing interest in desktop models but are in rising demand among Asian -- particularly Chinese -- consumers" in replacement for old computers fried by intense usage of World of Warcraft and Sims games, statistics show that by 2010 black holes will form inside the brains of many a young men and women as a result of constant agitation of the dangerous volatile matter called 5tup1d.

I continue to stare at my old copy of the game, as I want to play it so badly but can not. I could emulate but takes a bit of time to search.
Oh, and @Nitex, Rogue Squadron games were good, but don't amount to the Tie Fighter/X-wing games. I still like RS too, all of them RS games were pretty good.
They DID produce a Special edition, where they took the original X-Wing + Tie Fighter games and retooled them with the XvT engine which was cutting edge back in... 98-99 I think. I think they were Glide only though, or maybe D3D just sucked bawls back then.
If they could just make the X-Wing Alliance engine compatible with modern hardware and resolutions, then plug the older games into that... I think that would be a nice X-Wing Super Dooper collector's edition on Steam for $20-30. You know they could split it up into X-Wing and seperate Tie fighter versions and I'd probably still buy them for $20 each.
XvT was THE lan party game circa 1996. It just lacked single player. They did release the Balance of Power expansion which I played (hell I played ALL X-wing stuff) but it was just ok.
But I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see modern releases with a modern engine. HELL YEAH. But something a little deeper than Rogue Squadron (while fun, but not the same).
