8. The Campaign Spans The Star Wars Timeline
A mere afterthought in Pandemic's two entries, DICE are apparently putting in a lot of effort into making a competent story-mode. Like its predecessors, the next Battlefront looks set to include battles from both the Original and Prequel trilogies, with the added bonus of having Clone Wars segments as well as ones that prelude The Force Awakens too. The campaign itself will position players on both sides of the two conflicts, with The Republic & Separatists taking more of a back seat to the Rebels and Imperials during the Galactic Civil War. On top of this, iconic battles from the films are set to make an appearance as well, providing more opportunities for players to relive their favourite moments from the films. Fans of the Original Trilogy will be elated to hear that the predominant focus of the campaign mode will be on the Galactic Civil War itself, as the chance to partake in the most famous of Star Wars battles is an opportunity only the silliest would refuse.
Content Producer/Presenter
Ewan Paterson
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.
