9 Disastrous Mistakes That Killed Star Wars Battlefront 2

4. Saying Cosmetic Options Would "Violate Star Wars Canon"

One HELL of a back-pedal if ever there was one (especially seeing as leaks have shown cosmetic DLC is now coming), DICE's brilliant reason Battlefront 2 had to have performance upgrades in its crates instead of cosmetics?

Why, because EA didn't want to "violate the canon" of Star Wars with aesthetics, of course.

I mean, of course. It's not like having Rey fighting alongside Darth Maul does that, and it's certainly not like every single Star Wars character has had a different costume in every single movie, either.

Even Vader has a variety of slightly different robes and chest computer combos over the saga, so even though EA say that "no one wants a pink Darth Vader", they're certainly right, but there are a myriad of other ways to spice things up.
