Star Wars Battlefront 2: 10 Things Fans Need To See

7. The New Trilogy Fairly Represented

Again, I properly love the Original Trilogy, but Star Wars is so much more than just those three films. The franchise's transcendental qualities have allowed it to spin-off into about a dozen cross-medium interpretations, but if any releases outside the Original Trilogy have resonated the most, it would have to be The Force Awakens.

This film was just so good. So much so that I was stunned to find out that it wouldn't be in the first Battlefront. It seems as though that'll be changing for the sequel however, as EA head honcho Blake Jorgensen said that "the new movies" will undoubtedly be featuring.

So, great news for those worried that we wouldn't be getting content from the new films in Battlefront II. Given we're getting the Scarif DLC for Rogue One in but a month's time, it made sense that content from the latest trilogy would be coming sooner rather than later.

It's just nice to have confirmation, I guess.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
