[Info] - Heroes and Villains of Star Wars Battlefront II
by EA_JokerOriginal Post
Hey guys,
we're all excited for Star Wars Battlefront II. Early Access aside, the game launches today in 5 months. In anticipation, we'll take a look at the heroes and villains in the game.
So let's come together and discuss known abilities, speculate about features, weapons and what heroes and villains might or might not be in the game.
While you can make guesses, I'll stick to the facts. Tonight, we'll kick this off with Rey. Feel free to discuss.
Some facts about Rey:
- Homeworld: Jakku
- Species: Human
- Born: 15 ABY*
- Height: 1.70m
- Mass: 54 kg
- Profession: Scavenger
- Fights for: Resistance
- Weapon: Lightsaber (blue)
- Random quote:
Rey: “Where do you come from?“
[BB-8 beeps]
Rey: “Classified, really? Me too. Big secret.“
*ABY = After the Battle of Yavin
If you pre-order or purchase the Deluxe Edition, you'll get an exclusive The Last Jedi Theme Look for Rey as well as the "Far Sight" and "Deep Mind" Star Cards.
We kicked it off with a heroine last week, so we follow up with a villain today.
Kylo Ren. His characteristic mask and lightsaber are well known and feared.
Here's some hard facts:
- Homeworld: Chandrila
- Born as: Ben Solo, son of Han Solo and Leia Organa
- Species: Human
- Born: 5 ABY
- Height: 1.89m
- Mass: 89 kg
- Nickname: "Jedi Killer"
- Fights for: First Order / Knights of Ren
- Weapon: Lightsaber (red, custom-built)
- Random quote:
Rey: "You still want to kill me."
Kylo: "That happens when you're being hunted by a creature in a mask."
If you pre-order or purchase the Deluxe Edition, you'll get an exclusive The Last Jedi Outfit for Kylo plus the Star Cards "Power Reach" and "Solid Freeze".
Week 3 - we need another Hero!
So here goes... Han Solo. The infamous iconic smuggler - he always has the right answer and his iconic blaster at hand.
Here's some quick facts. But the question remains - who shot first?
- Homeworld: Corellia
- Species: Human
- Born: After 30 BBY
- Died: 34 ABY
- Height: 1.80m
- Mass: 80 kg
- Profession: Smuggler
- Fights for: Himself, Rebellion
- Weapon: DL-44 Blaster
- Famous quote: "Never tell me the odds!"
His skills in the pre-Alpha build included:
- Detonite Charge (Han sthrows a sticky charge which can be detonated at will)
- Sharpshooter (Rapid fire with the DL-44 blaster)
- Shoulder Charge (Charging forwards, knocking over and damaging his target)
and the passive trait: Corellian Scoundrel, which increases firing range and damage as the meter is filled.
That sound like a pretty good adaptation of his skills - what do you guys think?
The Iconic infamous Darth Maul is next on the list. You could see him as playable character at EA Play and in some gameplay videos already.
Let's check his facts:
- Homeworld: Dathomir
- Species: Zabrak
- Born: n/a
- Died: 2 BBY
- Height: 1.75-1.94m
- Profession: Sith Lord
- Fights for: Shadow Collective
- Famous quote: “You worms are no match for the dark side. “
Darth Maul's flashing blades are a threat to enemies matched only by his deadly mastery of the Force. His three unique character abilities are:
- Spin Attack: Maul goes into a high velocity lightsaber spin attack, cutting down enemies in his path as he leaps forward.
- Choke Hold: Maul chokes a few enemies at close range. The choke ends with enemies being thrown to the ground.
- Furious Throw: Maul hurls his lightsaber straight ahead of him, damaging all enemies it touches.
We skipped last week, and we do have something slightly out of the order this week - one of the story's protagonists.
One of the members of Inferno Squad, the technically skilled Del Meeko. Played by witty actor TJ Ramini (I do recommend following his twitter account, it is very entertaining), this character worked his way up through the ranks from stormtrooper, shoretrooper and TIE pilot. He has mechanical skills and is gifted when it comes to repairing things, from droids to engines.
- Homeworld: Coruscant
- Species: Human
- Age: 36
- Height: 1.88m
- Profession: Agent
- Fights for: Inferno Squad
- Famous quote: None yet
The book "Inferno Squad" is due to release next week, so I'm excited to find out more about Del and Inferno Squad - and about his relation to Iden Versio, the main character of the storymode of SWBFII.
One of our favorites of all time - the quiet and deadly Bounty Hunter: Boba Fett!
He was mighty in previous Battlefront titles and I can't wait to select him as hero in the upcoming title.
- Homeworld: Kamino
- Species: Human
- Born: After 32 BBY
- Height: 1.83m
- Mass: 78 kg
- Profession: Bounty Hunter
- Fights for: Boba Fett’s Syndicate
- Random quote:
Dengar: "You know what I like best about you, Fett? You're such a sparklin' conversationalist."
Boba Fett: "Sometimes it's better to think rather than speak."
