Star Wars: Battlefront 2015 - 9 Most Believable Rumours You Need To Know

3. Someone Called 'Tarkin' Will Appear

A memorable face of Star Wars' 1977 début, Peter Cushing's 'Grand Moff Tarkin' (or a relative of his) looks to have some role in the next Battlefront's narrative. Whether this means that the infamous Admiral will be making an appearance in the game or not is uncertain, but it would make sense for him to feature during the battles that revolve around Episode IV. Quite surprisingly however, rumours seem to be saying that the 'Tarkin' in question actually exists during the campaign's tenure between Episodes VI and VII - could this mean that there'll be another Grand Moff in The Force Awakens? Either way, a charismatic villain would be well received regardless of his title. If it turns out that Dice are in fact looking to make their tale as character driven as possible, an antagonist with as much gravitas as Tarkin may be called for.
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.
