Gamesradar.com har været på besøg hos LucasArts for at foretage et hands-on preview af Star Wars: Battlefront, og det er resulteret i et tre-siders tætskrevent kig på spillet. Blandt andet kan man læse hvordan de forskellige faktioner har mulighed for at tilkalde AI-styrede figurer fra filmene. Hos Imperiet kan selveste Darth Vader tage del i kampen:
No matter how many stormtroopers you throw at the Rebel defences, you just can’t gain a foothold. Then, the Imperial shuttle lands, and a solitary, caped figure steps from the ramp. Jim can’t help but get animated at this point. “When Darth Vader enters the map, you can hear him before you see him. You totally get into it: ‘Oh my god, it’s Darth Vader!’ because he can just deflect laser bolts away. When the guys tested the game, they ran into this one incident where Vader was hunting down a scout, and the scout was backing up against a tree. At this moment, the scout played his ‘idle’ animation, looking left or right, like he’s trapped, before Vader sliced him in two with the lightsaber.
