There were no Clone Wars battles to jump into (Disney and Lucasfilm were all about bringing the 'old Star Wars magic back' in the early days of their reign) but the rebooted Battlefront presented a level of audio-visual fidelity we hadn't experienced before, and with the return of Star Wars to the big screen looming near and DICE's extensive Battlefield expertise being used, the hype was through the roof. The result was a fantastic recreation of planets like Tatooine, Hoth, and Sullust, or the Forest Moon of Endor, and all the weapons, outfits, droids, and vehicles we knew received the same treatment. Star Wars: Battlefront (2015) might not be among the best Star Wars games of all time — there wasn't a lot of depth behind the stunning visuals — but it still has a special place in the hearts of 'Star Wars' fans thanks to a level of immersion that hadn't been displayed before, and arguably hasn't been beaten since.
