6 Characters We Want To See In Star Wars Battlefront DLC

2) Poe Dameron

One of the most impressive elements demonstrated by the beta gameplay was the way in which Star Wars Battlefront is able to take its conflict to the skies while the fight continues to rage at ground level. In early experiences with the Hoth multiplayer, this transition was mostly seamless and gave the battlefield a bolstered sense of scale.

Since players can take on the role of heroes and of fighter pilots, why not add the sought-after incentive of an individual who could be adept at both? Poe Dameron – who actually makes his first appearance in Star Wars canon in a bridging novel – is both of those things. Having been born to parents who both fought for the Rebel Alliance, Dameron grew up to follow in their footsteps before rising to the rank of commander of Black Squadron’s X-Wing fighters.

His inclusion in the game could be difficult to get right, but offering him up as a rarer character who arrives in his X-Wing would make acquiring him a very rewarding experience. If EA are able to enhance the power and manoeuvrability of his fighter to reflect his skill as a pilot, then it would add an exciting dimension to the airborne battles in the same way that the likes of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader do at ground level.
