Star Wars Battlefront 3: 10 Ways To Make The Perfect Sequel

2. More Eras And More Factions

By the time Battlefront 2 came to a close, it had addressed the three main pillars of the Skywalker Saga: the Age of Republic, the Age of Rebellion, and the Age of Resistance. All nine movies were accounted for and, while there are still gaps, Battlefront 2 provides a fairly comprehensive Star Wars experience.

That isn't to say that the threequel shouldn't strive for bigger and better things though. Top of the list for many fans are more eras and more factions, and with the Siege of Mandalore leaving everyone breathless in The Clone Wars' final season, it makes sense for Battlefront 3 to include Death Watch and the Shadow Collective as factions.

Going even further, Battlefront 3 could also plug in the gaps between Episodes VI and VII. If the Mandalorian would be present, why not the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic? Granted the distinction between those two factions and the Age of Rebellion isn't great, but it's still another era at the end of the day.

One other thing to bear in mind is the new High Republic initiative too. I genuinely think Fallen Order's ties to the Zeffo could open up the door for a non-linear narrative, following Cal Kestis (another potential hero for the next game) as he relives the steps of an old Jedi, almost like Assassin's Creed. Could the High Republic feature in the third game, complete with the old Republic military and the new villainous faction, the Nihil? It'd be great to see.

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.
