Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Things We Can't Wait To See
8. Starfighter Combat
Aerial dogfights have always been one of the biggest draws of Star Wars. X-Wing on Tie Fighter combat just couldnt get any cooler than in the first Battlefront, which gave players a bunch of maps to hop into their favourite Starfighters instantly. Bespin Platforms was known for providing an intense aerial and ground confrontation, but it was the team that ruled the skies that always ultimately came out on top. The original two Battlefronts flight controls were very easy for newcomers to get accustomed to, which contrasts greatly with Battlefields steep learning curve for Jet combat. With the addition of craft like the Millennium Falcon, the way in which Starfighters will now influence online skirmishes is an exciting prospect indeed. After all, there really isnt anything cooler than taking down an X-Wing with the shrieking sounds of a Tie Fighter.
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.
