It seems to show the game spanning all three Star Wars trilogies, from the prequels to The Force Awakens.

And it features a new, as-yet-unnamed protagonist, who says: "I still remember my last orders - the day the real war began."

It suggests the game will allow for multiplayer modes, and shows several battle scenes, including one between Yoda and Darth Maul.

Gaming companies have been struggling recently to stop trailers going out online before they're meant to.

In the last few weeks, Overwatch: Uprising, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker and Agents of Mayhem have all been illegally published online.

Newsbeat has contacted EA Games for comment but hasn't anything back yet.
