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

8. Battlefront 2's Entire Roster, Plus More

Battlefront 2's original hero roster at launch was a little on the weak side. Sure, iconic figures like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Darth Vader were all present, but there were serious holes that needed to be filled, particularly in relation to the prequels. As DICE were hard at work revamping the progression system following the game's loot box controversy, it wasn't until 2018 that the imbalance was addressed, with General Grievous arriving in October, before being followed by Obi-Wan, Count Dooku and Anakin Skywalker a few months later.

The final roster of heroes and villains is pretty commendable, with January's Rise of Skywalker update adding droids BB-8 and BB-9E into the game, but the community will be the first to tell you that there were plenty of figures they feel were overlooked.

When it comes to Battlefront 3, the same mistake mustn't be made twice. Ahsoka Tano should be the first new addition, with her dual lightsabers providing different gameplay opportunities compared to the other lightsaber heroes. Joining her should be Asajj Ventress, while other figures like Captain Rex, Padme and Cad Bane were all frequent community requests.

Going into different eras, Battlefront 3 could also draw upon the recently released Mandalorian, and have Din Djarin as a fellow addition alongside Moff Gideon, or even IG-11. Either way, this isn't a case of less equalling more. Bring back Battlefront 2's entire cast, and be sure to include these fan-favourite additions.

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.
