E3 2016: EA's Upcoming Star Wars Video Games - 7 Biggest Speculations
6. It Takes Place During The Height Of The Empire
Though those red drapes could easily be mistaken with the Nazified First Order imagery of Episode VII, make no mistake, Visceral's Star Wars is well and truly rooted in the Original Trilogy.
For starters, you can clearly see that it's the Empire's insignia, not the First Order's, on those flags. Afterwards too you can see the unmistakable shape of an Imperial Star Destroyer grace the horizon, and the instantly recognisable screech of TIE-Fighters soaring up above. It could only be the Galactic Civil War.
If we were to narrow down the period even further, the increased imperial presence on the planet could imply that this takes place right at the start of the Empire's rise, or it could even suggest an increased presence as a result of the events following Episode IV. Either way we're definitely not getting a title set in the new trilogy, or even the prequels for that matter. at least not from Visceral.
