Star Wars Battlefront 2: Official Starfighter Assault Gameplay Trailer

Listened for them and yeah, it certainly sounds like them. Not sure who's saying "Pretty sure I got 'em" though.
Where are you guys hearing Eckstein and Lanter?
Well in Star Wars flying spaceships is like driving a car in our world.
When the Republic fleet jumps out of hyperspace above Ryloth. Might be difficult to tell at first because of the radio comm filter.

People are saying the section at :35,
I would not put money on it but I do think it sounds a bit like Eckstein.

Lanter/Anakin
At 0:39: "For the Republic! Droid fleet, dead ahead"
Eckstein/Ahsoka
At 0:45: "Bank hard, incoming!"
It's definitely them imo, the only real question is if that means it's their characters from the show or just VA cameos.

Hmm, that does sound like Lanter. I didn't notice it on my first watch. Hope it is them!

The more I listen to it the more I can definitely hear Ahsoka's current voice in it.

Yoda's was.
Pretty sure it's 3 days before launch.Does anyone know if this 3 days early access is anytime? I mean, there is no starting date for early access so I would assume that it is anytime you want (even today). But before I will preorder deluxe edition I want to be sure I can play it now. Otherwise I will wait.

What's bizarre about a Star Wars spacebattle video game not playing like a Star Wars spacebattle?
The whole trailer felt like it was stuck on fast forward, way too fast paced and blink and you'll miss it. Nothing like Star Wars battles.

Good trailer but Yoda takes me right out. So jarring to see.
of course he did.

Another point in the Ashoka/Anakin column: ALL chatter should be clones during that period and on that side. It makes more sense that it's the two of them than there suddenly non-clone pilots.

Non-clone officers.
People, remember how much crow was eaten when SWBF2015 was revealed.
It's DICE lmao. Even if it doesn't look that good, it'll still look fucking incredible.

Other than the insane power levels displayed in that show, nothing in the CG TCW really contradicts that series though. The ending where Grievous kidnaps Palpatine leads directly into Revenge of the Sith. So it's like...kind of canon.
There are a few contradictions actually like Anakin killing Ventress, Ahsoka not existing, the Banking clan wanting to leave the Republic, Anakin's vision of Vader, etc.

These aren't contradictions.
On Ventress
In Genndy's show Ventress falls down a canyon at the end of a duel with Anakin, we don't actually see her for sure die. This is basically the same thing that happened to Maul in TPM... except he got cut in half and she didn't, yet he came back in TCW. So it's just as possible (even more possible) that she didn't die there and could also come back.
In her first appearance in TCW it is depicted as if Anakin and Ventress already know eachother.
On Ahsoka
Season 1 of Genndy's show slots in directly after AOTC, in the early stages of the Clone Wars. This is when Anakin is still a padawan and has his dumb rat tail. Then in the first episode of Season 2, he gets it cut off. After that, there is a time skip and the rest of the season takes place in the days leading up to ROTS.
TCW takes place when Anakin is already a Knight, -after- that first episode of the second season of Genndy's show. Then Ahsoka leaves the order towards the end of TCW -- long before ROTS and thus the end of Genndy's show. So basically, the entirety of TCW slots in during that time skip in Genndy's show.
Anakin's Vision of Vader
He gets a vision of Vader in TCW also. I dunno what the contradiction is.
Dunno what you mean with The Banking Clan either. They could have wanted to leave and then...have actually left.

They had me at Star Wars
In the old CW show, Anakin and Obi-wan are depicted as having been on Nelvaan before being called back to Coruscant. In canon (and what would have been pretty much the end of TCW), Anakin and Obi-wan are on Mandalore with Ahsoka before being called back. I think there may be some other inconsistencies too.

Best part of Battlefront (2015) just keeps getting better. I spent over 40 hours across the four fighter assault maps. Pretty much the only reason I still own it at this point.
DICE, just drop this shooter shit and just give us the Rogue Squadron remake you know you've always wanted to make.

Fighter Assault was in Battlefront (2015) (with split-screen MP too). Dunno if they'll do the same here...

Hypothetically, sure. But that part of TCW (season 7 and 8) were never actually produced so it's not an actual inconsistency in the show as presented. I know the story group considers what they planned canon anyways, but we don't know all the details of exactly what those episodes were going to be. The most Filoni has revealed about the ROTS time period for the show is that we would have seen Ahsoka and Rex dealing with the "Siege of Mandalore".
TCW repeatedly did not contradict things Genndy's show did. I feel like that was intentional at some point (TCW wasn't even considered the only non-film canon until the Disney buyout).
Obviously Genndy's show is -not- official canon now. I'm just saying it's pretty close to it since the large portion of its events are -not- contradicted and the series does in fact flow straight into ROTS. To my knowledge there is no other material out there depicting Palpatine being kidnapped and the lead up to the Battle over Coruscant. But I might be mistaken.

Every time I watch gameplay videos, trailers for this game... All I can think about is how badly I want another Jedi Knight type game. Can you Imagine having a game like Jedi Knight Jedi Academy nowadays? whooooboooy.
I mourn for Lucas Arts.

The chatter between Anakin and Ahsoka in the middle got me straight rock hard. Please let them be in the game as Republic heroes! Especially Ahsoka! I would love to see a realistic rendition of her character!
Ahsoka says in Rebels that the last time she saw Anakin "he was rushing off to save the Chancellor". And I believe from the art Filoni has shown that Anakin was on Mandalore and was going to participate in the siege until he was called back.

It was a trailer. Not unedited gameplay.
still no sign of my favorite starfighter bae-wing ;_;
They already added it in as a non-playable power-up in updates to the first game.
That's probably what it's going to be again here.
This is like the third consecutive big SW thing that's got a woman as the main protag.
Of course it's gonna drive their lot mad lol
