I'm not sure if they include the Clone Wars era when they say "new movies" as they aren't too old, but if they don't include it, it would be a shame.

It'll probably be episode VII/VIII. I'm pretty sure EA/ Disney are just trying to pretend the prequels and everything associated with them never happened.

I just want my goddamn clone wars already.

Wooo I can't wait for them to fuck it up for the second time

Everyone was right to be worried about EA giving Battlefront the Battlefield treatment with DLC up the ass and milking it annually. Battlefield: Star Wars is only a symptom of a much larger cancer infecting video games right now.

A battlefield game with a star wars skin would have been amazing. BF1 pretty much ripped off Battlefield anyway.

What we got was neither.

Hopefully this time we will have space battles and the game will be the battlefield skin it originally was instead of the bastardized version we have now.

Battlefront is on a 3 year cycle faggot. EA has Battlefield, Titanfall, and Battlefront. We won't get a new Battlefront until 2018.

That being said, this is most likely for the unannounced 4th DLC pack. They'll launch Battlefront again with all the DLC, similar to how Battlefield has a "Premium" version of their titles 6-9 months after launch.

Nah, they've stopped that now. It was just like that for TFA. Now we're getting lots of prequel comics, clone wars references, and new Ahsoka book out in October.

Especially with the high likelihood of Hayden being in VIII as a spooky dooky ghost, they don't need to pretend anymore that they don't exist.

Hopefully this one won't be as disastrous as their first one. I really enjoyed playing Battlefront 2 and was disappointed with the newest one.

Are we? Awesome! I knew about the Ahsoka book but I didn't know the rest.
