Star Wars Battlefront DLC: 10 Specific Things Fans Demand
4. The Force Awakens Expanded
This is perhaps the biggest demand for Battlefront to emerge from JJ Abrams' record-breaking blockbuster - unsurprising considering its markedly appreciative critical and commercial reception from both fans and critics alike.
The Force Awakens oozes with potential set-pieces for Battlefront to look to, with the first free DLC of course illustrating the Battle of Jakku that would lead to the littering of Rebel and Imperial craft over the desert planet seen during TFA's opening scenes. Indeed, content from Disney's first Star Wars film seems like the most logical step for Battlefront to take next, with only a new lick of paint needed to update the Rebels and the Imperials into The Resistance and the First Order respectively.
DLC for the film would fall in line with Disney's renewed focus on the Original and New trilogies, and considering the fact that the aesthetics of both sets of films have largely remained the same, I'd expect to see the Starkiller base among other locations feature in the Season Pass when it's eventually revealed.
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.
