While I loved the pure space battles, I can understand DICE's POV on why they removed them. At least they are still having aerial vehicles during the planetary battles; probably will be much similar to Battlefield's jet mechanics which isn't a bad thing. I'm perfectly fine without the prequel battles as well, only one I really enjoyed was Geonosis.

And yet it is still 60$ (Sigh)

It's all about the experience mate, not the details. If the experience is great enough, I'd pay $120. I've been waiting for this game for 10 years and I'm just happy they are bringing it back and are putting a huge focus on the Rebellion period and looking forward. They are going to be releasing a ton of DLC with other Rebellion battles AND The Force Awakens stuff. So although we may not get the prequels, we're getting the sequel stuff (plus supposedly the first DLC is free) so that evens it out.

There may always be a slight possibility that they'll come out with some DLC with 1-3 BIG prequel battles; but honestly from what I remember, prequel battles were not as large scale except for Naboo or Geonosis. The Rebellion period definitely had much more exciting fights, and NOTHING beats Hoth.

I can get on board with no space battles or prequel era stuff. Space battles were a big deal during the prequel era, but don't really fit with the Rebellion Era. There were only like 2 or 3 really important space battles in the originals. And I only ever played prequels in BF2 so I could play as certain Heroes. I'm not sure about the single player campaign. If they brought back Conquest mode, I could live without campaign. We could make up our own campaigns. That would be cool.

If they brought back Conquest mode

Never really played the space battles as much. If we could do battles with bots without having to go online to play some matches would be fun as well if we weren't really up for going online.

Space battles have always been a major part of any galactic war in Star Wars. The 2 major space battles seen in the originals (The Battle of Yavin 4 and Endor) where not the only major battles during the Galactic Civil War. While it is not shown during Empire Strikes Back, there was a space battle during the Battle of Hoth. Reasons for not showing it include money, run time, production time, and the fact that the battle was short due to the massive amount of Imperial ships vs a smaller Rebel fleet. Other space battles include battles such as the Battle of Kothlis and the Battle of Gall.

While I am disappointed on the lack of space battles, I do trust DICE to deliver an amazing ground game. I hope the in atmosphere flight will be a combo of Battlefront 1's version and the jet system in Battlefield. This fusion would be amazing. As for load outs I would be very ok with a battlefield inspired load out system but taken a step further in that it will allow us to customize armor. For example being able to change out standard Stormtrooper armor for Dark Nova trooper armor.

I love you too, Silko!
