Hopefully, Disney and EA don't squash this project.
They've shut down every other attempt at this do I imagine they will shut this one down also.
That's what I think too. No lawyer is going to look at the altruistic part of this, too much human decision making there. Easier to shut anything and everything down. However, I expect if this mod uses only original game content and music unaffected, and only the rendering is changed, I don't know that there's much to be shut down. I mean, they'll certainly try, because why not. But maybe there's not much they can do....

Awesome. I just bought X-Wing SE on GOG.com for $4 an anticipation of this.
I bought FreeSpace 2 a few months ago and downloaded the WIP Star Wars Trilogy mod. It's not playable as a full game with campaigns, but there are quick missions and my 5 year old son loves flying around shooting at stuff.
