## Gameplay

### Heroes/Villains

Similar to the older *Battlefront* games, heroes will be special characters in the game that'll allow players to play as their favourite *Star Wars* characters such as the once-farm boy Luke Skywalker or the evil menacing Darth Vader. Much like the original *Star Wars Battlefront* games, players will be able to play as Heroes/Villains by receiving a "Accept/Decline to play as X" option. A player's performance in the match will not factor in the chances of them being given the opportunity to play as a Hero/Villain, as this chance is given to a random player.

Similar to 2015's *Star Wars Battlefront*, Heroes/Villains will not be able to regain Health and their Health will not decay overtime like 2005's *Star Wars Battlefront II*. These characters also have much more Health than Infantry classes and have special abilities akin to those in EA's *Star Wars Battlefront* games. Furthermore, unlike 2017's *Star Wars Battlefront II*, Heroes/Villains will be Era-locked to their respective eras, however, up to 4 Heroes and Villains can be played on both teams at the same time. Force-sensitive Heroes and Villains have universal abilities that include Lightsaber throwing, higher jump heights, Force Push and Force Pull.
