You must not have been following the development of BF3.
To this day there isn't a single star was game (or any game really) that lets you fight at street level, enter a fighter and have dogfights in the sky, and then fly up into space/low orbit to take over a capital ship by disabling core components bf2 style, amd then crashing said capital ship into the street, all in the same game session.
Based on the footage that's still floating around, they were pretty damn close to finishing.
And the newer Battlefronts are no replacement for the older games. They got the visuals and sounds of star wars perfectly but everything else (number of maps, game modes, map player count, progression system, custom servers, number of playable vehicles, bots, hero character count, modding, etc) was a step down (well, I'm sure they've added way more heroes now compared to launch)
