I just hate the aesthetic of the droids mainly beyond hating the films. I do like Obi-Wan and Maul.

I honestly don't think i'd mind if certain characters were mostly just reskinned to keep a good selection and variety without needing a huge amount of work.
Obi-Wan-> Mace, Qui Gon, other Jedi
Sabine + Boba-> Jango
Han(OT)->Han(TFA)
Han-> Lando, etc
Leia~> Padme

i understand, and i don't hate you or think you're a bad person, Toa TAK. you like what you like, that's fine. i was 15 when the phantom menace came out, and i thought the droid army sucked, the trade federation sucked, naboo sucked, the banana fighters, the shiny ship, jar jar binks, gungans, etc, etc. it just got worse as they piled on with count dooku and hayden christiansen love story, a god awful script, cartoony flipping ninja jedi, etc.
if i had been 7 when i first saw that movie instead of 15 i may have eaten all that shit up.
it's like losing your virginity. even if it's to a massively overweight girl with terrible acne, it's your first time, it's still pretty cool.
No hard feelings or anything, lawnchair. I just feel like sometimes the fanbase has a hard time taking into consideration everyone at times.
i certainly have a hard time with it. i haven't talked to one human in my entire life who will admit to liking the prequels.
yet here on gaf many, many people seem to love it. i feel like im in the twilight zone sometimes
Probably a month before release, since nowadays beta simply means demo to the industry.

All I need is Qui Gon in 2.
Ha, yeah. I wonder if they'll make a custom console bundle again.
You ever think people DS not admit to liking them because of the backlash they'll get.
The Star Wars brand was still very strong and prequel and climate toys sold well so there have to be people who like them.
I we as seven when Phantom.meance came out and I know suite a few people my age fans to varying levels who like those films.
For me the Prequels are more or less disappointing films, but I really enjoy the media surrounding them. I loved both Clone Wars cartoons, one of my favourite Star Wars novels is the now non-canon Darth Plagueis, and I've had a lot of fun fighting droids and clone troopers in games like Battlefront II. I'm not going to defend the films, but I think it's unfair that some legitimately great pieces of Star Wars media get dismissed because they take place during that era.
Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Darth Maul, and Pod Racing were the only good things about the prequels, but none of them were worth the proliferation of spin-off travesties the prequel caused.
Jar Jar was a crime, and so was giving Yoda a lightsaber. The completely clashing aesthetics serve no place in the SW galaxy, and the rapid-speed evolution from chrome and amorphic curves aesthetic to the classic kit-bashed look of the original trilogy is off putting.
The less man hours put into that aspect of the game, the better.
I do hope the card system is completely abandoned. I'd rather have a class-based system than everything tied to cooldowns.

Half of them want DICE to just reskin Battlefield 1 and can't accept that Battlefront is allowed to have it's own gameplay.

I hope we'll get Jar Jar as a hero and that they'll make him the strongest one in the game, like they did with Greedo and Nien Nunb.

How active is the game on PS4?

I wouldn't mind if they removed Nien Nunb and Greedo.
Shit, there doesn't even need to be an equal number of heroes and villains. If you limit the amount of heroes/villains to 2 per game (or 2 at a time), then you can easily work around it.

No one is saying that. Battlefront already had it's own gameplay with heroes and space battles; but making a reskinned Battlefield would actually be closer to the original Battlefront gameplay than the game DICE made.

No it wouldn't. At all. The original games were based on Battlefield 1942. Battlefield 1 plays nothing like 1942. Battlefront 2015 shares the same core gunplay as the original Battkefronts.
It's the weakest of the bunch, sadly. Exclusing the main mode.
lol wut
Is the "full length" trailer the one that was already leaked? What "big news"?
No i dont think so. I consider all eras the big news.
The panel is 1 hour long and starts 21:00 GMT+1 I think.

I was looking at the heroes and villain list for the OG Battlefront II and there are more heroes than villains in that game. I thought that was odd then remembered that there was a limit to how many heroes could be active in the current match (1) so it didn't really matter.
Just thought they could do that again so they wouldn't have to dig up some really obscure character to even things out.

Here. I don't think the panel is for another 4.5 hours, though.

Thanks. Just wanted to have it handy.
I was more confused as to why you said to remove Greedo & Nien.
George Oscar Bluth II

Well, they're rather boring to play. Nien Nunb has a bunch of abilities that are available to regular infantry but more powerful. Greedo is kinda the same but also has that one unique shooting ability.
I don't mind them being in the game but I wouldn't miss them either.

But some of us like obscure characters...
And if they're really going the no holds barred toy box route, why remove awesome characters as Nien Nunb and Greedo? The more the merrier right?

Really don't like the idea of weapon modifications. But I'm happy we've got classes back.
Seems like you will be able to customize every thing, troopers, ships, vehicles etc
