Are they ever going to make another tactical Star Wars flight sim?

Gone are the days of Xwing, Tie Fighter, XvT, and Xwing Alliance. But I read somewhere a while back that it's possible that they could make another "realistic" I use that term loosely, Star Wars flight sim? I mean I guess in theory they could take the complexities of the old Star Wars flight sim games, and put into TOR.

 I found the quote:

 "In August of 2009, G4 had a follow-up interview with LucasArts president Darrell Rodriguez after The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and Tales of Monkey Island were released.  When asked about a possible return of the X-Wing and TIE Fighter series, Rodriguez answered, “We don’t have any announcements now, but stay tuned.  We will soon…..”

but that was a year ago D:

    It would have to be a SPG co-op like an FPS game. I don't think you will ever see a real sim in a MMO SW combo. TOR is a story driven themepark game. It will never be a sandbox on the ground or in space. I would play the SPG co-op sim though.

    Now while I do agree that LucasArts and the developers they entrust the intellectual property to can and may create a fantastic Star Wars space sim, creating one for a MMO gamespace is entirely another thing. I suppose with a good amount of thinking they could pull something resembling a space combat feature off, but possibly nothing close to those you'd have experienced with TIE Fighter or X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter.

    Worser yet, it could turn into the rail-shooting type of the first Star Wars games.

    But as always, it never hurts to hope for the best.

    On another note (and possibly off-topic), I do wish I never lost my TIE Fighter CE CD.

    I doubt that they are making a new Star Wars flight sim game since they are busy with Star Wars: The Old Republic. If ever they are planning to make one, it's not gonna be released anytime soon.
