Today’s announcement adds Leia Organa, Han Solo, and Emperor Palpantine to the short list of iconic playable characters in this highly anticipated SW game. Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader were playable for the beta, and there have been hints that Boba Fett will also be playable. It will be interesting to see how many more characters are added to the roster of playable characters before the games’ release.
“Star Wars Battlefront on PS4 lets you step into the shoes of many iconic figures from the vast Star Wars universe. Playing as a Hero or Villain character in Star Wars Battlefront (including Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader) isn’t only about charging fearlessly into battle and laying waste to enemy troopers; it’s also about defensive tactics and supporting your team.”
