well, this topic is for the new ppl to EaW. First off, EaW takes place after Episode 3 BUT before Episode 4. The rest of the information i am about to give you are facts about EaW, not speculation. There is going to be your traditional ISD's vs the Calamari Cruisers. And there is right now 30 planets that we have counted off one of the videos. The game allows you to fight space battles, then once space superiority is possible, you may send land forces down to invade the planet. You may call in reinforcements if you need help with the land battle, such as some tie bombers come down from orbit to bomb the rebels and such. The rest of the information can be found at these sites. 47+ min long video: http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=93 some ppl have been getting corrupted file error reports when they isntall the large screen size version of the long movie, so it is strongly advised you d/l the medium screen one.
