Star Wars Battlefront II finally releases this November, so why not get ready for all the pew pew of blasters and the vwom vwom of whirring lightsabers by reading all about the units you’ll be taking into battle in our Battlefront II classes guide. After all, if it exists in the movieverse, there’s likely a version of it in the game, and you will have an advantage if you know how to efficiently deploy these soldiers and droids.
