How does the Party system work?
OK, so I've put about 300 hours into SWBF but never played in a Party before. Want to give that a try.
If you have, say, 8 players in your Party can they choose which side to play on? For example, if we wanted to play 4 vs 4 on a game mode.
Any help with this or other tips would be much appreciated.

Anyone know?
It's not overly useful really except for keeping a team together across several modes or for private matches.
Cheers. Do it automatically activate chat as I rarely play with a headset on?
eheh, no, unfortunately not. So, this is how it works on Xbox One, not sure how it works on PS4 or PC but it'll be a similar thing with less confusing terminology hopefully. There are two types of Parties. There's the in-game Star Wars Battlefront 'Party', and then Xbox itself has a party system which runs through the console which is their voice chat system. So, if you are invited to a 'Party' in a popup on Xbox, you are being invited to a voice chat with whomever sent it. If someone 'Invites you to play Star Wars Battlefront' you'll join their party and you get the things I mentioned in the other post (greenness and togetherness).
On PS4 and PC it'll be the same, voice chat will need to be handled outside of the game, although you can access people's profiles and invite them to it via the game I believe.
So yeah, there's no communication within the game itself, it's all facilitated via other means. Or emotes. If those count (spoiler: they don't)
Cheers TDP
You can either go to your friends list and just invite them to a private match, or you can go find a game already in progress with them.
If you want to create a party. Just go to the create party selection and select which people to invite. Then choose the mode and map (some arent available, like hero hunt). It puts you all in a lobby where you (as the creator of the party) choose who goes on what side. You can voice chat the whole time by simply plugging in a mic.
Then you go in and kick butt.
