While all of the characters are pulled from distinctive corners of the Star Wars universe – highlights include a Wookiee named Grozz a seemingly former Stormtrooper with a cracked helmet and far too much weaponry going by the name Sentinel and a pair of Jawas in a trenchcoat battling under the moniker Utooni – potentially the most interesting is J-3DI, a droid who seems to think he’s an actual Jedi. The footage in the trailer is based on the mobile version of the game and shows some satisfyingly fast-paced gameplay as players battle for control of the game’s arenas. Originally announced in February 2021, the free-to-play game is set after the fall of the Galactic Empire – that’s after Return of the Jedi to anyone who hasn’t memorised a fictional chronology – and sees players controlling bounty hunters in arena battles.
