2015's Battlefront left a lot to be desired, especially in the story department. Thanks to plentiful player backlash and tough critical reviews, EA has implemented a highly cinematic story mode for the sequel. The story will take place between the events of Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, focusing on the Imperial's transition to the New Order after losing both Darth Vader and Palpatine. There will be multiple playable characters, which include Luke Skywalker and Han Solo's baby boy, Kylo Ren.

Considering the time period and the option to play as Ren, it seems like fans will be able to fully experience his move to the Dark side. Although you may not get to fully see his development into the leader of the New Order, being able to see who Kylo Ren was prior to the FA will be an interesting sight. He may begin innocent, but will grow to embrace his power and then turn on Luke as he hones in on his true power.

The primary concern with BF2's campaign is its length. Are fans going to get a meaty experience that lives up to such weighty potential, or will it be limited by brevity?

That said, a story involving the formation of the New Order, Luke's fall into isolation and Kylo Ren's transition to the Dark Side has too much potential to not take advantage of.
