Star Wars Battlefront 3: 10 Ways To Make The Perfect Sequel
4. Coruscant And Other Fan-Favourite Locations
Lucasfilm
While Star Wars Battlefront 2 came with a great selection of maps high on detail and verticality, overall, the selection still pales in comparison to the first two Battlefront games from Pandemic.
Changes to certain game modes meant that DICE couldn't successfully port maps over from the 2015 Battlefront, leaving out locales like Bespin and Sullust from the sequel. Both would've been great additions to the title, while older planets from the original Battlefront titles would've been great to see reimagined on current-gen systems.
Aside from including Battlefront 2's maps and altering older ones so they can fit in the potential third game, it's about time players saw Coruscant in a large multiplayer setting. Ever since the second season of the 2D Clone Wars series - which depicted the Separatist invasion of Coruscant and the kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine - fans have been begging developers to let them recreate Captain Fordo's last stand, taking on wave after wave of battle droids as General Grievous' forces lay waste to the Republic capital.
It would be an epic confrontation, and if DICE were to tie Battlefront 3's story into Revenge of the Sith, it'd be a must-have inclusion. (Bonus points if you restore Fordo to the current canon.)
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.
