Star Wars Battlefront 2: Ranking All 17 Leaked Characters

9. Yoda

Surprisingly, despite his over-the-top fighting style seen in the prequel trilogy, Yoda's playstyle in Battlefront 2 will be more focused on strategic, defensive play than all-out lightsaber flurries.

Being able to transform incoming blaster fire into a wave of force power that can damage and push back players, the Jedi's abilities are all focused on using an enemy's attacks to his own advantage.

Likewise, another power allows him to use the force to heal his wounds, which could potentially become over-powered if not balanced correctly.

But the hero isn't only about turning incoming attacks into his own devastating assaults, as an offensive ability allows him to dash up to three times, cutting through anyone who gets in his way.

It can be hard to not make Yoda look doofy, but with a focus on defensive play and toning down his frenetic movement, DICE might have pulled off the best video game representation of the character yet.
