Previews: Teaser
; Welcome to the Arena
Tropes in this video game include:
- Become a Real Boy: Subverted with J-3D1. He isn't just a droid who wants to be a Jedi. He has been programmed to believe that the Force is with him, despite there having been no instances of Force-sensitive droids in Canon.
- Bounty Hunter: Natch. Aran Tal and Imara Vex are bounty hunters out of the playable cast.
- Call-Forward: In preview footage, you can see the back of Rieve's head, which has the Sith Eternal symbol tattooed into it.
- Continuity Nod:
- On the official website, Rieve's character reveal image has her name written in the same font as The Acolyte.
- One of J-3DI1's customizable paint jobs is based on the Jedi Temple Guard look.
- Sentinel's stormtrooper armor is weathered and rundown, much like the Imperial Remnants in The Mandalorian
- Grievous Harm with a Body: The Wookiee warrior Grozz wields the disembodied arms of Imperial droids like clubs.
- Hero Shooter: Each character is going to have different abilities, weapons and playstyles, like the heroes of Star Wars Battlefront II (2017)
- Mini-Mecha: Slingshot, an adrenaline-junkie Ugnaught mechanic, has repurposed a Droideka to be a manually-piloted combat mech for his use.
- Totem Pole Trench: The Jawa characters Utooni are this, being two Jawas in a trench coat. Being one single playable character, this also makes them The Dividual.
- Mythology Gag: Aran Tal's color scheme is based on how Boba Fett looked in The Star Wars Holiday Special.
- The Remnant: Sentinel still wears the Imperial colors, even going so far as to brand the Empire's symbol on his helmet, even after the supposed death of the Emperor and the Empire's decline. In reality, he abandoned the Empire and grew to hate it, but kept the persona of an Imperial loyalist in the arena.
