Re: May the 4 and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 - Han solo season.

Yea Clone Wars stuff is without a doubt the most requested @felker_s , but I find it logical that they want a Han Solo season right now (with the upcoming movie).

However, there might be more than only content from SOLO, since it is called 'Han Solo Season' for a reason. It may be that they will add some other maps from the outher rim as well, in the trend of Han Solo. My guess is that we will get some new maps together with a version of Jabbas palace. (maybe extraction? who knows...)

Logical ≠ good. People are already sceptical about the movie itself (I think it is totally unnecessary, and based on what we've seen does not even feel like SW), this will not generate hype for it, just even more salt towards both the movie and the game.

Problem is that they always just go for the marketing aspect. The game does not lack Han Solo related content, it already has Han Solo and Lando, and plenty Empire-era maps... And we already have two different Falcons, for God's sake. Also, Solo does not even correspond with anything regarding the timeline, and even if we get new heroes, they will probably be weightless characters (compared to the ones we have), long dead in any other timeline - and I guess even in their own, at the end of the movie.

Not considering what the game actually lacks, and just blindly pushing corresponding content to a movie is counterproductive, even if it's free content, after all. But as it has been said many times, it was ridiculous even at launch that we didn't have Obi-Wan and Anakin for example, and this is beyond reason now. I simply do not care about the Solo movie, and it's obvious that I am not alone.

The missing of Obi-wan and Anakin in the game is definitely sad for a SW game. They are the main characters of the films and should have been there at launch.

Regarding the SOLO movie, I don't know yet. I did like the style of the trailer, but it may not add anything to the current Skywalker story-line. However, I was sceptical about Rogue-One at first, but I really like it. That move should really the struggle of the normal people in the SW Universe and showed a good portion of war.

I don't hope they add another Falcon to the game, that would be completely unnecessary. I've no idea which characters from SOLO could be added to the game, but they are surely less important than Obi and Anakin. Probably getting some skins for Lando, Han and Chewie (all three with a new arm patch). 

Somehow I see them porting over Greedo this month, together with some other bounty hunters that most people never heard of.
