In order to design the maps for the game, Dice travelled to the locations of the three original films, such as Star Wars' planets of Hoth and Endor.
The game is going to be on 1st and 3rd person view,just like Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars: Battlefront II,counter to what Dice had intended;the change occurred mainly due to a massive fan request to the developers.
Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams and Temuera Morrison are the only actors from the movies to appear in this game.
This game is to be made by Dice, unlike the previous games' company, Pandemic
This game was rumoured to contain several DLC's including new maps, weaponry, vehicles and, given the "hero/villain" characters are playable as in Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005), more hero/villain characters were thought to be including characters from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (2008). It has been confirmed that there will be a free DLC that adds more maps from a new planet called Jakku from Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens (2015)
