10 Reasons You're Wrong About Star Wars: Battlefront 2

7. Fans Asked For The Clone Wars, And They Got It

Although the prequels tend to get a bit of a bad rap among Star Wars fans, there's actually quite a lot of love out there for the era as a whole - even the films!

Fans can debate the quality of George Lucas' prelude to the Original Trilogy all day long, but there has been an effort since the beginning of the decade to flesh out the era. Dave Filoni's Clone Wars TV show is a particularly brilliant example, and with a new season on the horizon, it's fair to say that fans haven't forgotten about the prequels, even as a new trilogy nears its own conclusion.

True to form, DICE were aware of the resurgent interest in the Clone Wars and duly responded, beginning with the introduction of unique Clone Trooper armour in August, the addition of General Grievous in October, Obi-Wan Kenobi in November, and a brand-new Geonosis map that same month too.

Just this January DICE also added Count Dooku to the game's roster, while Anakin Skywalker is set to follow in February. All are voiced by the actors who portrayed the characters in the Clone Wars TV show as well, so that's a neat little bonus in itself.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
