Summary
Following a resurgence in popularity forStar Wars Battlefront 2, fans and even developers of past gameshave spoken up about their desire forStar Wars Battlefront 3. While the game does not exist and is not currently confirmed to be in development, it has fans wondering what could be added in a sequel, such as new weapons, locations, and famous characters that could be included asheroes.
Star Wars Battlefront 2features many heroes spanning the three major eras ofStar Wars,but the universe has expanded significantly since then. Characters like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are going to be obvious additions, but fans would likely appreciate it ifBattlefront 3included heroes that were missing from the previous two games, as well as newer heroes introduced in recent years. These arethe heroes who absolutely must be included inStar Wars Battlefront 3.
10Fennec Shand
Deadly With A Blaster And Martial Arts
Ming-Na Wen’s bounty hunter character,Fennec Shand, has become a staple of the currentStar Warsera after appearing inThe Mandalorian,The Book Of Boba Fett, andThe Bad Batch. She can be a cold and ruthless killer, but she proves to be more honorable than most mercenaries in theStar Warsunderworld, which, combined with her dry humor, makes her a favorite among fans.
Star Wars Battlefront 2already featuredbounty hunters like Bossk and Boba Fett, so Fennec Shand could fit right in and have distinct gameplay using her sniper blaster and throwing knives. Additionally, Ming-Na Wen has previously provided her voice for the character in animation, so there is a chance that she could do the same for a potentialBattlefront 3.
9Asajj Ventress
Potentially A Hero Or Villain Depending On The Era
Asajj Ventresshas evolved over the years from a cunning assassin to an endearing anti-hero wielding a yellow lightsaber, demonstrating how much characters can change in theStar Warsuniverse. Fans loved the character so much in bothStar Wars: The Clone WarsandThe Bad Batchthat she became the main character inTales of the Underworld, with Nika Futterman giving her many layers through a well-rounded performance.
InStar Wars Battlefront 3, Ventress’ shifting morality woul allow her to be a hero for the Age of the Empire and a villain for the Age of the Republic,similar to Iden Versio inBattlefront 2. As a bonus, there has never been a dual-wielding lightsaber character in the rebootBattlefrontgames, so Ventress would allow for even more unique gameplay for a hero character.
8Cal Kestis
Star Wars Games Should Take Advantage Of Crossovers
Star Warsgames have a chance to crossover, especially since theStar Wars Jedigames and theBattlefrontseries are both produced by Electronic Arts. This would allowCal Kestisto joinStar Wars Battlefront 3, serving as a fun promotional character for his respective franchise for those who have never played it.
The devs can even borrow signature aspects of Cal Kestis from theStar Wars Jedigames,such as swapping lightsaber stances, using BD-1’s stims for quick healing, and wall-running. Cameron Monaghan, who is the face and voice of Cal, has openly expressed his desire to play the character in other projects, andStar Wars Battlefront 3would be the ideal first step in that direction.
7K-2SO
Stormtroopers Should Fear A Reprogrammed Droid
Of all the droids seen inStar Wars, the most combat-oriented would beK-2SO, as shown byRogue One: A Star Wars Storyand its prequel series,Andor, where he punches humans through the air with ease. He can also take several blaster bolts before sustaining any significant damage, which could easily be one of his best perks in terms of gameplay.
K-2SO is also proficient with a blaster, so he has the potential to utilize swapping between a melee and long-range modes depending on who or what he is facing. Droids are as much of a staple ofStar Warsas the Jedi and starships are, making it a tradition that even the games have maintained, so a deadlier character like K-2SO would be ideal for aBattlefrontgame.
6The Stranger
Cortosis Would Change The Battle Completely
WhileThe Acolytewas not the success that Lucasfilm had hoped for, even its biggest critics showedrespect for its lightsaber combatand the mysterious masked villain known asThe Stranger. He was almost like a horror movie villain, wearing a monstrous helmet and gauntlets made from cortosis alloy that short out the Kyber crystals in lightsabers.
That cortosis, combined with his powerful use of the Dark Side, could make The Stranger into an effective mix of offense and defense, especially against other lightsaber-based characters. His red lightsaber could also split into two sabers, with one shorter blade, which could be an ability or an alternate attack.
5Captain Rex
Fighting Through Decades Of War Made Him A Legend
ARC Troopers were already a playable class of character inStar Wars Battlefront 2, but fans ofStar Wars: The Clone Wars,The Bad Batch, andStar Wars: Rebelsknow thatCaptain Rexis not an average ARC Trooper.Rex is a beloved characterwho served from the beginning of the Clone Wars to the end of the Galactic Civil War, and is confirmed to have fought in the Battle of Endor as well.
Captain Rex’s gameplay could use the ARC Trooper gameplay as its base template, but give him exclusive abilities that showcase him as a dedicated soldier. He also has multiple looks from different eras for developers to use as his different costumes, such as his unmasked look, his hooded look as a clone rebel, and his look as an older man during the Galactic Civil War.
4Hera Syndulla
The Captain Of The Ghost Is The Perfect Starfighter Hero
Hera Syndullais essentially the heart and soul of the Ghost crew inStar Wars: Rebels, and she remains a dedicated fighter in theAhsokaseries. Fans adore her for her kind nature, lovable personality, and altruism, which make her an exceptional leader for both the Rebellion and the New Republic.
It wouldn’t be Hera’s first time ina canonStar Warsvideo game,as she was a major part of the New Republic storyline inStar Wars: Squadrons. Also, while she would be a fine addition to ground battles, Hera’s greatest strength as a hero would be in the starfighter modes, as she rivals Anakin Skywalker and Poe Dameron in terms of her pilot skills in her ship, the Ghost.
3Mace Windu
Shatterpoint Will Turn The Jedi Master Into A Nightmare
Many famous Jedi were snubbed from being on theBattlefront 2roster, and one of the most requested wasMace Windu, as he is, in canon, a top-tier duelist who was able to beat Darth Sidious in lightsaber combat. He is also distinguished from most Jediby his signature purple blade, which signifies his middle ground between the Light and Dark sides of the Force.
One of Mace Windu’s lesser-known Force abilities is Shatterpoint, which allows him to detect the specific point on a foe or object that would destroy it when attacked. IfBattlefront 3includes Mace Windu, that ability alone would be enough to help him stand out from other Jedi on the roster, especially in the Heroes vs Villains mode.
2Din Djarin
The Character Who Changed Star Wars Forever
Not only wasDin Djarinthe star ofThe Mandalorianseries, whichmarked the beginning of a new era inStar Wars, but he is also getting his own movie, titledThe Mandalorian & Grogu. That kind of fame and popularity would be enough to earn him a spot inStar Wars Battlefront 3, but he is also a versatile character who wields many weapons during his galactic adventures.
Din Djarin has his trusty blaster, mini-missiles, jet pack, flamethrower, vibro-blades, Beskar-forged armor, and his ships, all of which would make him deadly to any infantry or hero character on the battlefield. However, since the two are inseparable, Din Djarin could have his adopted son, Din Grogu, by his side to add Force abilities to his combat.
1Ahsoka Tano
Years Of Stories Have Made Her A Favorite
For almost twenty years, fans have been witnessing Anakin Skywalker’s young apprentice evolve from a reckless child to a wise and noble Jedi who now has her own spin-off series.Ahsoka Tanois now an iconic characterfrom the TV side ofStar Warsand has appeared in animation and live-action, and made audiences smile, laugh, and cry over her personal journey.
Ahsoka had already earned a spot inStar Wars Battlefront 2, but nowBattlefront 3has a chance to bring all versions of her to the game, either as the Clone War commander or the nomadic Jedi wielding white blades. Her dual-wielding is a famous aspect of her combat style, but she has Anakin’s training, which makes her a deadly warrior. She is also an inspiring leader who can purify a corrupted Kyber crystal.
