Like the previous Battlefront, there is some magic to the way DICE has recreated these locales. A few even creatively swap roles, such as the Endor map where Rebels steal an AT-AT at the beginning and itвЂ™s up to the Empire to take it down. Some maps have no AT-AT stand-ins at all, others (like Hoth) still use that for most of the match.

For example, thereвЂ™s a Galactic Assault map on Kashyyk where Battle Droids shuttle two troop transports forward, then (if they make it that far) capture two AA guns, and finally burst into a large hangar area to arm two more points. These are mixed and matched in various ways. 3) Arm (as in BattlefieldвЂ™s Rush mode) some number of terminals. 2) Capture (or defend) some number of regions.

Objectives usually come in three flavors: 1) Guard (or try to destroy) an AT-AT stand-in, by which I mean any large vehicle. Instead of every match being вЂњBlow up the AT-AT,вЂќ Galactic Assault broadens the possible objectives. Basically, DICE took the objective-based Walker Assault mode from the previous Battlefront and made it larger and more flexible. Galactic Assault has major issues though. 2005вЂ™s Battlefront II was still more innovative, allowing (even requiring) you to seamlessly land your X-Wing/TIE Fighter on enemy ships, get out, and fight on foot, but as an arcade-y space game Starfighter Assault will serve fine. DICEвЂ™s rendition of space battles isnвЂ™t very complex, consisting mostly of rock-paper-scissors dogfighting and a few вЂњShoot this weak spotвЂќ objectives, but it controls decently and is fairly satisfying to play. TheyвЂ™re not even threatening! Not force-wielding bugs or something! Just slightly overlarge space beetles. IвЂ™m serious: You, Luke Skywalker, the last Jedi in the known universe, swing your lightsaber for upwards of five minutes to kill off fist-sized bugs. The best one is yawn-inducing, the worst is Luke Skywalker fighting against hundreds of beetles. As a result, VersioвЂ™s story is interrupted every mission or two to awkwardly Forrest Gump-style shoehorn in some of the heroes you know and (presumably) love. For one, it seems like someone at either EA or Disney had no faith in VersioвЂ™s story, or in the idea of a Star Wars game sans-fan service. As Versio youвЂ™ll get to play out the battle of Endor from the EmpireвЂ™s side, witness the explosion of the second Death Star from her position on the ground, experience the chaos of PalpatineвЂ™s death. In theory, it sounds great: You play as Iden Versio, daughter of an Imperial Admiral during the waning days of the Empire. The campaign is probably the most disappointing aspect, if only because it had the most potential.
