It's true, it's got to be. All signs are pointing to it being Battlefront 3.
Why?
Well this caught my eye. “AAA third person shooter using Unreal Engine and Kynapse AI middleware.” Seems innocent enough, and could be anything... Except... http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/26/lucasarts-licenses-unreal-engine-3-for-long-term-multi-project/
Connected with this: "Spark is currently looking for a 'senior combat designer for a 3rd Person Action/Adventure sequel in a high-profile science fiction franchise currently greenlit for full production development for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC markets.'"
What other franchise could it be? The only two high-profile sci-fi franchises I can think of are Star Wars and Star Trek. Star Trek doesn't seem likely, so it means it's more than likely Star Wars related. It can't be a sequel to Republic Commando, since it's a 3rd person action/adventure game.
Two options other than Battlefront would be a sequel to the Jedi Knight series, or a sequel to The Force Unleashed. The most likely choices would be either Battlefront 3, or The Force Unleashed 3.
So there you have it. This news has officially made my day.
