Star Wars Battlefront: 8 Perfect Ways To Tie Into Episode VII

2. Depict The Birth Of The Imperial Remnant

Supported by old war lords and ex-imperial officers, the origins of the now very much alive the Imperial Remnant are is up in the air with the new expanded universe taking precedent. The Remnant was always a key opposing force in the old EU canon, and as its presence is confirmed in the new one it would be a shame to leave the force's roots unexplored. Like the 501st Campaign from the second Battlefront, taking on the role of a senior stormtrooper would give the next Battlefront's campaign a great deal of substance that the first entry lacked (though didn't always strive for), especially if a more sympathetic take was given on the men and women that stayed with the Empire even after its defeat. This request may not be achievable depending on just how long the Remnant has been active by the time of The Force Awakens, but if its been operating for a while in the thirty year period after ROTJ then it's definitely a storyline DICE can't afford to overlook.
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.
