One of the more bizarre, schlocky features of Star Wars: Battlefront is letting people take control of formidable villains like Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, who run around the battlefield zapping other players and shouting catch-phrases from the movies. Perhaps EA could've been a bit more subtle with their treatment of such iconic characters? But say what you will, it's pretty damn fun playing as one of these villains, and when you step into their shoes, you can be sure you're going to rack up a solid killing spree... unless some renegade X-Wing pilot uses your head to trampoline their aircraft back into the sky, as illustrated above.
