VIDEO GAMES: Behold The Battle Of Jakku In New STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT Screens
Jakku is the planet featured heavily in the trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront video game will take us to the planet nearly three decades before the events of that movie take place. Hit the jump for two incredible new images...
The Battle of Jakku took place place in the aftermath of the Rebel victory in the Battle of Endor, and will be available as free DLC for those who buy Star Wars Battlefront. In the artwork below, a Star Destroyer has crash landed, and from the belly of this battle-scarred metal giant, a myriad of Imperial ground troops have evacuated and engaged with Rebel troops, also strangers to this desert planet. "There’s a David and Goliath theme to this," says DICE Concept Artist Anton Grandert. "The epic, huge super structures of the Star Destroyers contrast against the tiny but brave Rebel soldiers fighting the Imperial forces. We wanted to portray a battle completely surrounding you, in every direction. Debris is falling from the sky, telling the story of battles above. On the surface of the planet you can see ground troops as well as X-wings, all taking part of the fight."
Star Wars Battlefront is the ultimate Star Wars battle experience, brought to life by DICE – creators of the award-winning Battlefield series. Fight in epic Star Wars battles on iconic planets and rise through the ranks playing as the heroic Rebellion or the evil galactic Empire. Whether fighting through blaster-wielding troops, or piloting your favorite Star Wars combat vehicles like snowspeeders, speeder bikes, and AT–ST’s – Star Wars Battlefront puts you at the center of the galactic conflict!
