Badass in every sense of the word - this shiny stormtrooper doesn't just look dazzling, but also very threatening too. Battlefront has always had a big focus on the troops that made up the spectacular battles that took place across both the prequel and original trilogies, and even gave fans their first look at new troops like the Imperial dark trooper for instance. Whether or not the chrome-clad antagonist is a sole agent or part of a wider batch of troops is unknown, but if said trooper is merely a new weapon in the Imperial arsenal then it would make perfect sense to introduce it as a class type - much like the leader-classes from the previous two entries themselves. Shining a light on the Chrome-Trooper would be a good move to make, irrespective of whether the armour only belongs to one or to many. Are you excited about EA's new Battlefront tying into The Force Awakens? Or would you rather it remain a nostalgia-fest focussed on the original trilogy? Post a comment below!
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.
