Rumours abound this weekend that could be behind a top-secret new browser-based title, set to be based on the Clone Wars IP.

Idle chit-chat (thanks Ten Ton Hammer) has it that an insider source has confirmed that the online-only offering will created as part of a deal between Sony and LucasArts.

This isn't the first time Entertainment and have leapt into bed together, but has it that the new game could use the browser-based engine behind hit Free Realms to deliver this new Star Wars offering.

The Clone Wars is of course already being exploited in a new title being crafted by LucasArts, with set to publish.

We'll have more on this as and when we get it.
