Star Wars Battlefront 2 Trailer: 12 Details, Secrets & Speculations You Need To Know
2. The Last Jedi Content Is In
Whilst the trailer was obviously assembled knowing the world at large are yet to see any meaningful glimpses of Episode VIII, it does end by saying that "The Last Jedi heroes" are going to be included.
It's the use of the word "heroes" that's confusing though, because in Battlefront, a 'Hero' is a light-side character we play as - meaning there are enough new good guy characters in The Last Jedi to warrant inclusion on the battlefield, not just a selection of skins. Riffing on Rian Johnson's description of Episode VIII being unlike any other Star Wars movie, it's possible we're going to see flashbacks of how Luke's training of a new school of Jedi went awry, and how the Knights of Ren were formed.
Let's face it, Rey and Luke need something else to talk about other than just training regimens, and assumedly, many of these students would then become our new memorable heroes.
