It isn't often that galactic combat is truly displayed on an actually galactic level. Generally, a player involved in said galactic combat only participates in single battles, leaving the overall planning and strategy for the war effort as a detail taken care of behind the scenes. LucasArts plans on changing that with their upcoming title, the ambitious Star Wars: Empire at War. This isn't the first time that LucasArts has gotten their feet wet with an RTS (or with a galactic combat game either) – many of you may remember,

From the Valley of the Sith on Korriban to a dogfight in space through the remains of Alderaan, Solo directs the team on missions of sabotage, rescue and retrieval.
In Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron, robust customization options replace the class system seen in previous Star Wars Battlefront titles,

Release Date: Q4 2005
One of the things that surprised me was Star Wars: Battlefront was the best-selling Star Wars game of all time. Given that it's almost a mod of Battlefield 1942, I guess that's not too surprising.

The big addition is space combat. Perhaps now, finally, we can relive what I feel is one of the high-water marks of
