They're using the voices from the Clone Wars TV show. Same goes for the clones.

figures, it sounds like absolute stuff and is completely at odds with the attempt at a dramatic atmosphere in the trailer

Inner fan girl is intensifying.
So far, it looks really good.
I played the beta of the "first" Battlefront but i ended up not buying since i felt underwhelmed by how limited it felt.
So far seeing a lot more what i expect from a modern battlefront game.
I am actually considering pre-ordering. I won't, because reason, but i actually feel more inclined to give it a chance.

[Nicepoint]

[SlayerZ99]

someone correct me if im wrong, but i believe they said they would be releasing them in waves of free dlc (like other games do nowadays). dlc includes like a map and new heroes idk. they said that the black dude from the new one would be in the game at some point

[Mr. Bones]

Damn... not coming till the end of the year, I figured it was coming in like August. Damn, I'm happy that the seasons will be free, EA probably wisened up after the Battlefield 1 bullstuff (new updates that nobody but season pass holders can use)

I just wonder, will we be able to customize our clones/droids? Like, will we be able to maybe make them different colors or something of the such? It'd be cool

[RedGajin]

idk they said in the stream there would be class customization, but they might just have been talking about weapon/ability choices. each class has its own set of weapons and abilities you can choose from, but not sure about aesthetic stuff. would be really dope if you could modify the heroes look too
