It's already been revealed that Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ren are both appearing and are playable in the game's campaign, so it stands to reason that other heroes will be making an appearance at some point during the story too.

While these sections could simply provide a nice break from the regular gameplay however, with how story-heavy the previews for the single-player have been so far there's a good chance that these sections could act as pivotal moments in the narrative.

Rather than just being throwaway bits of fan service, these hero sections could be a way for the developers to bring iconic Star Wars battles to life. Controlling characters from both sides of the Force, hero sections would allow the game to enjoy a wider perspective without losing the focus on Iden Versio.

Plus, at the core of it, just playing as these characters outside of multiplayer would be amazing. Rampaging as Darth Vader while playing out the end scene of Rogue One would be incredible, while piloting Poe Dameron during key events of The Force Awakens would be even better.
