* {{Vibroweapon}}: The Droid Commando has a vibrosword as a secondary weapon for use in close quarters.

* HighlyVisibleNinja: The Sith Trooper is classed as an Infiltrator, despite his bright red armor.

* ArtificialStupidity: On the other hand, enemy ground troopers, at least the ones fought in Story mode and Arcade, suffer from inconsistent and downright suicidal behaviors, often popping out of cover for no other reason than to get shot. And let's not get started with Stormtroopers that whip out Riot Batons; these guys are way too slow to get a sneak attack on you, on top of loudly yelling their intent to charge you. Also, while some enemies do run into cover and shoot at you from there, the vast majority of enemies simply run at you in a straight line while firing their blasters, almost as if their A.I. was copy-pasted from the game's co-op [=PvE=] Survival Mode where ZergRush tactics are the norm. Hell, the A.I. in the old ''VideoGame/DarkForcesSaga'' games from over 2 decades ago is smarter in that regard.

** One of the available weapons is the Imperial Heavy Repeater from the ''VideoGame/DarkForcesSaga'' [=FPS=] games, specifically based off the version seen in ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediOutcast'' and ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediAcademy''. It even has the energy grenade secondary fire in place of an aim-down-sights scope.

''Star Wars Battlefront II'' is an action first- and third-person shooter video game based on the ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise as an entry in the [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe]] and sequel to [[VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront2015 the 2015 Battlefront reboot]]. The game was primarily developed by [[Creator/{{DICE}} EA DICE]] and Motive Studios (with additional work done by Creator/CriterionGames), and published by Creator/ElectronicArts. It was released for Microsoft Windows, UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, and UsefulNotes/XboxOne on November 17th, 2017.

** Aeriel reinforcements also count, while they may have multiple abilities that can get them around the map rather quickly, they have no defensive options and less health than both the Infiltrator and Enforcer, and their weaponry tends to not be very hard hitting.

** The Officer class in muliplayer can equip the S-5 pistol, a massive Prequel-era handgun that boasts high damage, but suffers from a low firing rate and high recoil.

* AnachronismStew: The hero selection in Galactic Assault and Heroes vs. Villains throws canon out the window in favor of letting players pick their favorite characters regardless of era. This allows for chronologically impossible battles, like Rey and General Grievous clashing in the bowels of the Death Star or Obi Wan fighting a grown Boba Fett in the wrecked Star Destroyer wreckage on Jakku. Supremacy, however, only allows you to play as heroes from a specific era, though some, such as Darth Maul being playable in the OT era maps, is pushing it (Maul canonically died a couple of years before ''A New Hope'').

* AnachronismStew: As of the Beta, it's possible to fight an adult Boba Fett in the hypothetical Second Battle of Naboo, which would take place when he's a kid/teenager, while using blasters from [[Film/TheForceAwakens thirty years after Boba's death]].

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Sullust. The Empire has a [[NoOSHACompliance NonOSHACompliant]] smelting plant built inside a volcano, with catwalks only a few feet above the smelting pools.

* InkSuitActor:
** Iden Versio is mo-caped by her VA, Janina Gavankar. Same goes for Anthony Skordi as the Admiral, TJ Ramini as Del Meeko, and Creator/PaulBlackthorne as Hask.
** As in previous ''Battlefront'' games, the Hero characters in multiplayer are spitting images of how they appear in the films, including characters like [[Creator/DaisyRidley Rey]], [[Creator/MarkHamill Luke Skywalker]], and [[Creator/AdamDriver Kylo Ren.]]

** Boba Fett has the lowest health count at 500 (later upped to 600, tying him with Bossk, but
Bossk makes up for his low health with his ability to regenerate all of his health), but his rechargeable jetpack means he can hover around the battlefield and pelt enemies with his impressive arsenal, with only the most accurate players being able to shoot him down.

** One of General Grievous' taunts is saying that [[Memes/RevengeOfTheSith "you are a bold one"]].

* AscendedMeme: In the tutorial mission for single-player, as you exit your cell, one of the first rebel officers you have to defeat in order to get past undetected is a man telling off a jailed prisoner. That prisoner is [[spoiler:Matt the Radar Technician]] from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''.

** Darth Vader cannot run as fast as other characters, meaning he has trouble closing the gap against nimbler enemies or escaping from hordes of enemy fire. His lightsaber swings are slower than most other saber users as well, making it a bit easier for them to be dodged or countered. On the plus side, he has the highest health count at 800 (though General Grievous and Anakin Skywalker would later make it a three way tie, though Vader's Bonus Health star card places him higher than both), can block blaster shots efficiently, gains a temporary 200 health buff with his Focused Rage ability, deals heavy damage with his lightsaber strikes ([[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks even thrown ones]]), and has multiple Star Cards that increase his bulk [[labelnote:*]]One card decreases the stamina drain while deflecting shots, another increases his base health by 150 HP, and a third reduces the damage he takes while Focused Rage is active.[[/labelnote]].
