Our Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005) game hub has the key facts at a glance. This page goes into more detail, and we’ll keep it updated.
What is Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005)?
Star Wars Battlefront II is Pandemic Studios’ original Xbox sequel to Star Wars Battlefront, published by LucasArts. It is a different game from the 2017 Star Wars Battlefront II.
You fight on the front lines where every weapon and vehicle is yours, and you can also fight as a Jedi, earning the ability to wield a lightsaber and use Force powers as heroes and villains such as Yoda and Darth Vader.
Space battles let you dogfight in X-wings, TIE fighters, Jedi Starfighters and other classic starships, or land on a Star Destroyer and fight it out on foot. Its 16 new locations include Star Wars: Episode III environments such as Utapau, Mustafar and the space battle above Coruscant.
