Steve Blank, creative executive at Lucasfilm, said Iden “will go down as a heroic character,” despite her Imperial allegiance. They’re equally dangerous in ship-to-ship combat as they are lethal on the ground. Thompson described Iden and her Inferno Squad comrades as “elite TIE Fighter-commando hybrids” who are well-versed in the Empire’s tech. We present the other side of the conflict.” Star Wars Battlefront 2 Electronic Arts “We never describe the Empire as the bad guys ,” Thompson said. The Rebellion represents chaos, a terrorist organization that threatens the safety of the galaxy. To Iden and the citizens of Vardos, the Empire symbolizes structure, peace and order. Vardos, a sleek, sterile looking world, represents the utopian vision of Imperial rule. Iden - who is voiced by actress Janina Gavankar ( True Blood, Sleepy Hollow) - was born and bred on Vardos, an entirely new planet in the Star Wars universe. In Battlefront 2, players will primarily take on the role of Inferno Squad member Iden Versio, an elite TIE Fighter pilot and spec ops soldier who grew up believing in the Empire’s vision. “We present the other side of the conflict” “That’s how it’s framed: a celebration.” But Motive Studios wanted to “turn that victory into a loss” for its main characters, to strengthen and reinforce their imperialistic beliefs and make them think “I want to avenge my emperor.” “It was the idea of the explosion the Death Star II is seen as a victory,” Thompson said of the story’s genesis. They vow revenge on the Rebels, who are seen as terrorists who threaten peace and order in the galaxy.
The elite Imperial special forces group that Thompson’s referring to, known as Inferno Squad, witness the destruction of the Death Star II from the forest moon of Endor. The story of Battlefront 2 picks up right after the events of Return of the Jedi. The idea of special forces soldiers gave us this chance to become a new hero.” Star Wars Battlefront 2 Electronic Arts “We settled on this idea of telling a story from the Imperial perspective. “Who are the elite soldiers on the battlefield who strike fear into the rebels? Who are the elite pilots that kids growing up look up to and aspire to be? “We wanted to give the Empire heroes in that same way,” Thompson said during a preview event at Star Wars Celebration 2017. Mark Thompson, game director at EA’s Motive, said the Battlefront 2 team wanted to go beyond the heroic stories of the Rebellion to explore a new frontline of war. And their pitch for Star Wars Battlefront 2’s single-player campaign - which is canon, according to Lucasfilm - is intriguing. But developers DICE and Motive Studios apparently feel up to it. That might be a hard task, drumming up sympathy for the genocidal space Nazis of the Star Wars universe and establishing a new hero who wants nothing more than to crush the Rebellion and avenge the Emperor. While the vast majority of Star Wars video games are played from the viewpoint of the heroic Rebel Alliance or the Jedi, in this year’s sequel to Star Wars Battlefront, players will take on the role of an elite special forces soldier in the Imperial navy. Star Wars Battlefront 2 will give players a different perspective on the enduring conflict between the evil Empire and the scrappy Rebellion.
