Line #3 Trivia/StarWarsBattlefront2015


1	* ChristmasRushed: The game's release was rushed due to EA wanting it to tie-in with the release of ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', which is evident from its barebones amount of content.
2	* CreatorBacklash: John Boyega (Finn in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'') [[http://www.businessinsider.com/john-boyega-doesnt-like-star-wars-battlefront-2016-3 wasn't impressed]] by the game's lack of content, especially the lack of an offline story mode.
3	* TheOtherDarrin:
4	** Luke, Han, and Leia are all voiced by different actors than their film actors (Anthony Hansen, John Armstrong, and Misty Lee, respectively).
5	** Felicity Jones and Ben Mendelsohn were not brought in to reprise their roles as Jyn Erso and Orson Krennic from ''Film/RogueOne''.
6	** Creator/LaurenceBreheret replaced Evelyne Séléna (Original Trilogy) as Leia in the European French dub.
7	* PreOrderBonus: Pre-orders came with the Battle of [[Film/TheForceAwakens Jakku]] a week before the Jakku maps went public.
8	* RoleReprise: Many of the voice actors for the movie characters reprise their roles from the films, video games, or cartoons.
9	** Matt Sloan is usually the go-to voice for Vader outside of the films (wheres he's voiced by Creator/JamesEarlJones).
10	** Creator/SamWitwer is becoming the go-to voice for Emperor Palpatine after first taking the role in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheForceUnleashed'' and recently playing the character in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''.
11	** Temuera Morrison plays Boba Fett, a role he had taken over from Jason Wingreen (who passed away in early 2016) for a special edition of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
12	** Admiral Ackbar is voiced by Creator/TomKane, who has voiced the character in several spin-offs.
13	** Jabba the Hutt is voiced by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson, who among other places voiced the big guy in ''The Clone Wars''.
14	** Lando is voiced by Creator/BillyDeeWilliams again.
15	** Dengar and Bossk are voiced by Creator/SimonPegg and Creator/DeeBradleyBaker, respectively, who voiced them in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''.
16	* ScrewedByTheLawyers: According to [[http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/nextgen_battlefront/news/eas_future_star_wars_games_could_make_use_of_the_force_awakens_characters.html this article]], Disney/Lucasfilm gave EA the explicit rule to not screw with ''Star Wars'' canon, hence why multiplayer is simply a sandbox of characters that should be dead (like Vader and Palpatine in the Jakku maps or Greedo in ''any'' maps considering Han is with the rebellion) or reenactments of events already passed like the Battles of Yavin and Scarif. After heavy criticism, the [[VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontII2017 sequel]] is being made with a canon storyline about Inferno Squadron and content from all three film eras.
17	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A long-anticipated game mode called "Hero Blast" was discovered in the code for the game, in which players could participate in a match of "Blast" using solely the Heroes and Villains. Though an [[https://i2.wp.com/www.swgameoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/CzKx_LSWQAAkRUe.jpg?fit=807%2C413 uncovered still]] for the game mode suggests it was planned to be released with the "Rogue One: Scarif" DLC, it ultimately never saw the light of day during the game's DLC season.
