Uh lets just go with you plan A
Trevor Noah gets 1 million views in a day. That doesn't mean eveybody wants to see him with a lightsaber, and it definitely doesn't mean he's more popular than the OT. People like to click on stuff.

I can hate the prequels all I want and still say Rogue One was a fantastic film.

Porting in maps from the 2015 game would be a huge mistake imo. The only reason Scarif makes any sense is how late that DLC dropped, and it could fit the large scale modes. A ported map or two here and there along side new content is all they should do.
There are no "instant classic" maps from the 2015 game that would instantly stir up the fan base. Not like Echo Base from the original Pandemic game anyway. With Conquest coming, maybe DICE could look at recreating versions of those old maps like Echo Base in this game.
The emphasis needs to be new content. Mustafar with Vader's castle...Jedha from Rogue One with Saw's base or part of the city...locations from the single player like Vardos or that planet where they find Palpatine's stash.
If we are going back to the og, I want the Bespin maps back. The gas platform map was my favorite of all 4, followed by Rhen Var.

Oh yes bespin platforms was glorious. Loved strafing runs in the x wing

actually i do represent the majority. wasnt there a poll here that said 85 percent of peeps here want clone wars over other eras?
all the OT maps are choke point fests or a boring forest level. yavin and endor shouldnt even exist at the same time since theyre basically the same thing.
when i think of the OT all i think of is a giant forest with some bunkers spread throughout and choke point central deathstar.
maybe if they made better maps for that era this would change.
In your original comment you said the OT was boring.
How does the OT map designs correlate to it being boring?
And if you wanna talk about choke points, have you played Kamino and Naboo?
A Star Wars HQ poll that only polled their viewers who predominantly are CW fans. Therefore this was a poll that was skewed in one direction and not representative of the entire player base. Plus, it only polled about 8000 people and the Battlefront Stats website has logged almost 170,000 players on PC alone, so that poll is a very small sample size.

It is literally the complete opposite.
Naboo, Kashyyyk, and Kamino are the most chokepoint maps in the game. Phase 1 of Geonosis is also chokepoints.
Where on Yavin am I escorting a walker? At what point on Endor do I have to push a button down or place charges? The forest environment is where the similarities of the maps end. On the other hand, Theed and Kashyyyk have the same layout, escort a transport down a narrow path that has 2 areas on the side. Phase 2 on both maps will also never be passed if the defending team is at the very least competent. When I'm defending the droids cannot breach the turbo tank nor can they even get up the stairs at the Theed Palace.
Theed had to be changed because phase 2 was too hard, it hasn't fixed it.
(My favorite. I understand it's not your favorite. But it's mine. It's also my opinion that it's the best.)
That poll is skewed with noob fans
I like it all. Maybe not some of the novels.

If that's the best counter you've got, then get ready for a long run of prequel content. lol!!
Popularity isn't even the issue. Geonosis is getting all kinds of attention because it's NEW CONTENT. It's finally something that shows maybe there's life in this game. They need to keep the momentum rolling which means MORE NEW CONTENT!!
And which era has the most new content to offer? Prequel era by a long shot. They've already done all the popular heroes and locations from the OT era in two games now.
I can't think of a faster way to kill any momentum this game has than to load 2019 down with ports from the 2015 game.
While I agree with you... Phase 1 of Endor is literally pushing 3 different buttons and one of them is one of the worst chokepoint areas of the game (the middle one with the 3 entrances from rebels spawn points). It even has a walker phase. With an incompetent team that keeps trying to enter from the middle (with nobody pushing for the other two ones) it's easy to lose on phase 1.
Not really. He had the same look in every film he was in so what we have is fine. There are other hero's needing different skins from different parts of the story way before Vader
Eh, I don't find it too difficult. Assaulting the other 2 objectives first is more effective and dropping in from behind is also a very good way to capture this area while the opposition is busy guarding the front doors.
That's true, but you need a semidecent team. If they are brainless and decide to keep dying trying to claim the middle objective you will probably lose because they will waste most of the tickets, while you are actually doing the work on the other two objectives. I hate it when that happens.
I understand that Endor is not a map I consider to be an A-tier map mostly because of how a good team is needed more than on other maps along with WW thermal spam being unbalanced on the final phase. Still a good map but those 2 things hold it back a bit, again not A-tier but B-tier I say.
I am sorry you don't understand it...
Agree. That would be skins for the sake of skins. Not every hero needs a new skin. Vader, Boba and Phasma are 3 heroes that I don't think need any skins past their default. I would rather see them work on Luke skins and other characters that actually have alternate looks. Or maybe some infantry skins?
And Bossk. He doesn't have any other appearances.

This is so ridiculous
This game was meant to balance out the eras. Not to still suck-up to the Original Trilogy, like they did with the first game. "EA front II" is what "EA front (2015)" should've been, but wasn't. And people who say the Original Trilogy is superior to the Prequels "in every way" are nothing but biased bigots who need to remove the nostalgia goggles and take their heads out of their a**.
The Prequel Trilogy/Clone Wars deserves far more content, in this game (Other than those that're already confirmed.. Ahsoka, Rex, Jango Fett, Mace Windu.. Mustafar, Utapau, Coruscant. etc.)
STOP WITH THE ORIGINAL CONTENT PLEAS, ALREADY!!
Trevor Noah is trash.
Lol overrated....really?! I can't state this enough it seems. The OT started it all!!! You wouldnt have the PT or your cartoons if it wasnt for the OT!
All trilogies deserve attention. Once this batch of CW content ends its another trilogies turn, and they can come back to PT later
More Clone Wars please. Thanks!
With that said, I would love some OT skins for the OT characters.
Yeah what content? That old geezer tarkin, the Blue kid? What more can they do that we haven't already seen.
No more Clone Wars content please.
Technically, anything they already did for BF2015.
In terms of heroes, there are 2 more heroes and 2 more villains that could be "ported" from that game. They could even think about some Solo ones.
In terms of maps, well, there are still quite a few maps that could be ported. Again, they could even create new ones from Solo (at least one for SA, Kessel space, and one for GA, Mimban).
Anyways, I don't care either way if the content is good and extends this game's life.
See that therein lies the problem. It's not "new" content if it's just from the recycling bin of the last game. Total and utter Joke here to say that it is. You got 80% of all your OT content at launch, congratulations. Clone Wars it is, and when thats finished we can go back to using recycled content from the last game that everyone is apparently desperate for.
The OT, PT, ST, CW, Rebels, Resistance, novels, comic books, BFII campaign, and Fallen Jedi are ALL SW. All their stories, events, and characters are SW.

Nobody used the word "new" in that chain of comments except you. But even if we had said "new" OT content, they can still adapt maps to GA, which is a mode that didn't exist in BF2015. Heroes can still be different from last game (they already are in most cases). And it still doesn't take into account new Solo content or any other location they decide to use as OT (Vardos and Pilio could be candidates for it if they wanted).
Again, I don't care either way. I was just trying to say that there is OT content that can still be used if they feel like it. You can keep asking for PT content if you want, but don't mock other eras.
