  • In The Force Awakens, we had seen Kylo Ren use his Force mind trick on two characters, but we were only treated to the external effects. In this game, we have a perfect glimpse on what happens inside his victims' minds: if you have some resistance to mind tricks, you are relentlessly hunted through landscapes created by your memories, pursued by what can only be described as a dark entity with a red fiery blade.

  • Ewok Hunt is essentially Star Wars's take on an Infection game mode, and one of the few times where you're put into the Empire's shoes while facing a Mook Horror Show. Stormtroopers start out stranded in the middle of the forest of Endor's moon at night, with only a searchlight to reliably let them see through the dark. Soon, they find themselves having to survive against an onslaught of adorable, but savage little critters that lurk in the dark, with only the yellow glint of their eyes visible if you don't expose them to your flashlight. The Ewoks launch firefly-like Wisties (which retain their Legends counterpart's abilities of increasing their body heat to such a degree that they can burn anyone just by touching them) that constantly pester the Stormtroopers, and set up traps that go unnoticed in the pitch-black darkness of the forest. Should one Stormtrooper player fall, they will instead respawn as an Ewok, gradually dwindling the Empire's numbers until no one is left. And the message that confirms one of your fellow Stormtroopers died? Not some standard killfeed, but the simple "was lost to the forest". Yikes.
