In Star Wars Battlefront, EA has now introduced the iconic starships of the Star Wars universe: the Millennium Falcon and Slave 1.
Something went wrong: EA published a post introducing “Hero Vehicle,” which they then deleted. But… it’s the internet, someone cached the post, so we can report on it.
Millennium Falcon and Slave 1 are the heroes among the starships
The Hero Vehicles operate similarly to the “Heroes” Leia, Han, Darth Vader and the others. So, you can’t just say: “Guys, make way, it’s me. I’ll take the Millennium Falcon!”, but you have to earn it by picking up a specific boost in the mode “Fighter Squadron.” Only there, in the dogfighting mode of Battlefront, are these hero ships active.
Boba Fett’s ship “Slave 1” is heavily armed with proton torpedoes and ion cannons. With a jammer, you can also remain undetected, thus preventing those pesky missiles from locking on.
The ships were designed to be really fun and cool, as can be read in the now-deleted EA post. Players are supposed to feel powerful. When you get into one of the ships, there should also be a short intro sequence where Han Solo or Boba Fett do something that makes Star Wars fans say: Yeah! That’s how I know them!
Star Wars Battlefront will be released on November 17 for Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC.
