I saw this ;) And I'm buying the Season Pass. It has Bespin which means I have to buy it

Sounds good. I look forward to the Death Star map especially. DEA1 was arguably the best map for SWBF1. Lets hope they can match the awesome play of that map, but with these much-improved graphics.

I knew they'd be doing Bespin and Death Star, though I do wonder how they will fit Walker Assault in there.

Cloud City is a pretty big place, although there's no guarantee they won't just limit CC the Death Star to being indoor maps for Blast, Cargo etc.

They need Cloud Cars in Cloud City. Looking forward to exploring the Carbon Freeze Chamber and an accurate shaft.

Bah. I'll be off at college when the death star comes out, and probably won't be taking an Xbox with me.

Good to see an expansion to single player, though I was hoping for a few more planets.

I was thinking of Death Star particularly when it came to limitations on Walker Assault.

Yeah, I get that. I really think the Death Star will be limited to interior close quarters games and maybe Fighter Squadron if they're feeling generous.

Unless they really go for it and set a Walker Assault map on the surface of the Death Star... or perhaps in one of it's Star Destroyer dry docks. But that won't happen.

Well, if we could mod it, we would do it!

They could switch roles and have the rebels attack and empire defend against some sort of craft.

I actually remember a whole bunch of SWBF1 maps that had the same concept, I know Eddie did a few versions, but I can't recall if he was first to do so.

Looking forward to to new maps.  I am extremely upset they nerfed the Homing shot. It takes like 5 seconds to lock on so now it is useless in this game. I hate EA. I really don't want to play it anymore b/c of this.
