someone pointed out that the snippet of Fett has a Star Destroyer crashing, which implies it's from Battle of Jakku which would make his surviving the Sarlacc canon again

What do we know now?
- There are no Space battles. All aerial combat is within the atmosphere.
- There is no Single Player campaign. Instead missions can be carried out with other players and/or bots (See Titanfall).
- The AT-AT on Endor is on "rails." Thus it's not controllable by the player and if you don't destroy it, it will just walk in the set path it was programed for (it is a mission objective to be destroyed).
- There is no split-screen co-op on PC. Reason: No other AAA PC titles do this (this is the serious answer).
- Consoles do get spilt-screen for local play.
- Gameplay is similar to the first Battlefront.
- The game runs at 60 FPS.
- There will be 4 planets at launch (see previous details post) and at least 3 maps per planet.
- Players are customizable.
- Iconic Heroes & Villains are not customizable past what they are known for in the current canon.
- There are Killstreaks & Nemesis bonuses that are staples in Battlefield.

So, it's basically a battlefield game.
Still buying
DICE is usually pretty good about running betas, so hopefully this will have one.
Cash on delivery with EA shit. Don't fall for the trap!
in theory yes, but as the other desert planet is tatooine that seems unlikely
Pretty sure it's Jakku and either Boba survived or we have a new one. Disney knows Boba is money in the bank. I'm sure they're going to bring him back.
So they announced everything NOT in the game?
I'm out for this one. EA is just awful.
This week in Battlefront news:
- 12 Multiplayer maps at Launch, Mission maps not included in that number
- First Sullust caps
Spoiler: show- Iceland was used to inspire Sullust's landscape, EU (Expanded Universe) also had a role to play
- Environmental Destruction will be less than what is the current norm in Battlefield, Destruction will be used “where it make sense”
- No Ironsights, some Rifles will have Scopes, though
- AT-ST confirmed playable
Spoiler: show
