Community Transmission - Appearances & Co-Op

INCOMING TRANSMISSION

There have been many battles throughout the Star Wars™ saga and the Battle of Yavin ranks up there as one of the most iconic.

It was a one in a million shot that ultimately led to the destruction of the Death Star. Those involved in this epic battle, and therefore a major blow to the Empire, were rewarded via a Celebration Ceremony within the Great Temple on Yavin 4.

This is the scene of the first two appearances we’ll be talking about today.

THE BATTLE OF YAVIN APPEARANCES

We’ve talked a bit recently about appearances for Luke Skywalker and we currently have a special Timed Quest underway where you could unlock his Farmboy appearance from Star Wars: A New Hope.

Coming this month is another Luke Skywalker appearance and as you’ve probably guessed by now, it will be based around his look from the Celebration Ceremony that took place after the Battle of Yavin, complete with the iconic yellow jacket.

Luke Skywalker, Yavin Ceremony Appearance

Not to be outdone, and as he once said “don’t get cocky kid,'' Han Solo will also be receiving his Star Wars: A New Hope appearance.

The new appearance for Luke will be connected to a special in-game event, while Han's will be classified as Epic and will be available for 40,000 in-game credits or 1,000 crystals. Once the special in-game event has ended, Yavin Luke will also be available for 40,000 in-game credits or 1,000 crystals.

You’ll be able to join the battlefront as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in their Yavin 4 appearances once the “Another Night on Endor” update launches on the 23rd of this month.

CO-OP DEFEND

We’ve received a lot of great feedback on Co-Op since it launched last month and we’re really happy with the response so far. We’re expanding Co-Op this month and with it will come the ability to defend on each of the planets.

Kamino: Republic Defend
Geonosis: Separatist Defend
Naboo: Republic Defend
Kashyyyk: Republic Defend
Felucia: Separatist Defend

The above appearances and Co-Op defend will be arriving in the Another Night on Endor update, which is due for release on October 23. We’ll be back shortly for some details surrounding our return to the forest moon of Endor, better bring a flashlight.

That will undoubtedly be most appreciated.

I just wonder if ANH Han will just be a shaved version of Smuggler... in that case Head and body replacement from existing pieces should cost less than a bandage Chewbacca.

FabiDepp · October 15, 2019 2:19PM

It looks great. Now what about Ben Kenobi and so we're closing ANH era?

Chrissycole64 · October 15, 2019 2:20PM

Love it!

mtcuppers · October 15, 2019 2:27PM

will you ever add OT and ST to co-op? It would make the gamemode way more future proof imo.

darkshadowspike · October 15, 2019 2:27PM

Helll yeeah!!!

GreenMarc · October 15, 2019 2:28PM

Nice to see they're listening to the community. Unfortunately for me, those are the appearances i wanted the least.

grimmace2 · October 15, 2019 2:30PM

Droid Legs Maul.

JadeRaptor64 · October 15, 2019 2:33PM

YES! Yellow jacket Luke!

Now we need Bespin and Endor Luke!

PlayersPurity · October 15, 2019 2:38PM

The Luke skin looks great, but will we ever get skins for villains from OT era?? Vader, Palpatine, Maul and Iden perhaps? Maul is not OT villain, but players would like one for him or two just like with Luke.

FlyHyland · October 15, 2019 2:47PM

Wait, I'm confused; are we getting the ANH Han AND the Yavin IV Han as well as the Yavin IV Luke?

The_Meme_Lord · October 15, 2019 3:04PM

About McShrekking time with those appearances. Good work!

DaiBenduMonk · October 15, 2019 3:09PM

Thank you DICE. Very cool. So nice to see how far we've come.

Spergicide · October 15, 2019 3:22PM

Sounds like it will be an awesome update. Glad to see OT heros getting some love.

gazzy_burns · October 15, 2019 3:25PM

Great work! OT skins yahhhhhh

Jimbeamjunior · October 15, 2019 3:26PM

Co-op defend, get in there, i wonder how they'll work it though, got to imagine the number and ferocity of the opposing AI will be stronger when your defending so that they actively group up anf target the control point

Imladithil2002 · October 15, 2019 3:27PM

I'm sooo happy, that Luke finally gets some love concerning skins. Am i reading that correctly, that more appearances are coming this month?
So, after "Survivors of Endor" you're porting "Forest Moon of Endor" from SWBF2015. Any chance to get these maps in other modes as well?
This patch today, this CT... you guys are amazing!

JackTHorn · October 15, 2019 3:33PM

Very cool! Those are probably the best skins we could hope for at the moment. I was afraid all we'd get would be Endor Luke and ANH Han. Great work, and great choices!

Yes. They REALLY need to add other eras besides Clone Wars. It is getting a bit ridiculous at this point. I am bored with CW.

NoseRelc · October 15, 2019 3:49PM

update is very good, but I have a little criticism

Anxiously waiting for appearences of darth maul, it seems to be something hard to have in the game, third year of the game and none of the appearences for maul, han solo already have so many appearences and you still add more. Really?

IXPrometheusXI · October 15, 2019 3:55PM

Boring Luke skin tbh. Much better skins to add into this game. Pilot Luke would have been cooler since it was in BF2005. Battle Damage Vader would have been awesome. Han really didn't need another appearance he has like 6. Mauls Rebel skin would have been better. Sorry to criticize but just poor choices.

spectrum_veteran · October 15, 2019 3:55PM

Bespin and Endor, where his saber is used in anger, over the 'going on a date' Ceremony look and Farmboy. Ceremony is about as battle cool as Dooku's jim-jams.

No effort going into altering the face and hair across his appearances then?

FixMyConnection · October 15, 2019 3:58PM

Great news about the co-op!!!! I enjoy it more than Galactic assault or capital supremacy since co-op is a more relaxed way to play. Just hope you guys will introduce the ot era in co-op. Also please keep co-op in future games since I think that a lot of the older audience enjoys the more sit back relaxed gameplay as well.

Skarfly · October 15, 2019 4:27PM

I'm interested in seeing what challenge we'll be put through to get the Yavin Luke skin, though I'm sure being able to snag it with Credits is also welcome news.

Xena · October 15, 2019 5:18PM

Flashlight? Is this something about Ewok Hunt? That mode is SOOOO fun once in a while, but there's not enough people playing it

TheStickman · October 15, 2019 5:51PM

Thanks so much for making the Luke skin available through credits! Very appreciated!

clubprivat · October 15, 2019 6:00PM

What about instant action? When are the AI vehicles coming for the game mode?

Raices · October 15, 2019 6:12PM

Bespin Luke is the most iconic/best imo, the only skin Luke has fought with a blue lightsaber in the movies and we don't have it smh.

Alabestarbrown · October 15, 2019 6:54PM

Nice EA I really appreciate it, new Skins for my Mine. I love all the job you are doing, keep it in that way

Besides that I would like to ask for the Skins of The Empire Strikes Back (EP 5), I hope ti doesnt bother to much
-Bespin Luke
-Pilot Luke

Thanks for everything EA

K4152 · October 15, 2019 6:59PM

Great update hopefully we get villain skins next. Also can you add OT era to Co-Op

BTL-A4_Ace · October 15, 2019 7:12PM

WOOHOO! Time to cross two highly desired Appearances off my list.

Really looking forward to the Co-Op defend missions, too!

ChrisXQ · October 15, 2019 7:24PM

I made an account just to leave a comment! I like all of these updates. But I gotta say I love Co-op mode a ton! Please add more generations of Star wars for this mode! Don't get me wrong I like playing GA, but coop mode is pretty relaxing and it is just an amazing experience. I like that there listening to the community. But I don't care much for these appearances other than farmboy Luke, but they look great! Everything y'all are doing is heading in the right direction. Thank you 👍

Kenco · October 15, 2019 7:27PM

This is awesome! So glad we're getting new skins.

I'd REALLLLLY Love Luke's Bespin skin, where he fought Vader. Then I would be 100% content with life.

Commander_CT_135 · October 15, 2019 7:47PM

Finally they added Yavin Luke, it’s my favorite look for him. I kinda wish Luke could get his Endor appearance as since Leia and Han have one, so why not luke, plus the main attraction of the update is Endor so it would make sense

CorpseMaker77 · October 15, 2019 7:56PM

Sorry Luke, no Bespin skin. Maybe in Battlefront 3, maybe.

MajorChief_IX · October 15, 2019 8:26PM

Ceremony Luke looks really awesome! I can't wait to defend the temple on Yavin using that very skin!!

K1LLERV1PER · October 15, 2019 8:28PM

Love the update and I hope we get new skins for the villains especially for Vader

graveyard3377 · October 15, 2019 9:05PM

Are we getting more appearances with this update @F8RGE besides for Luke and Han?

Honestly did not need this one, @F8RGE, we just need you guys to add the OT and ST maps to Co-op.

DarthJ · October 15, 2019 11:15PM

Happy with both of those appearances. Give me Bespin Luke after that and I will be happy!

anidriX · October 16, 2019 12:47AM

Oh boy, I’m so happy about this Luke appearance, it was my most desired one.

Laser921 · October 16, 2019 1:12AM

Heck yeah give me the gold jacket and bring out Dagobah, Black Robes crait, and jedi Master flashback and we will be good.

Jedi_Apprentice · October 16, 2019 2:19AM

"First two appearances"
There are more!
Come on 3P0 Chewie!

holstar1993 · October 16, 2019 2:53AM

Cool on the skins. Epic fail on ewok hunt. More extraction maps please. And back to it's own separate tile.

Wolfman91 · October 16, 2019 6:34AM

Great news! Han's ANH appearance and Luke's yellow jacket are both iconic. Hope we will receive more Luke skins, cause there are so many options.

Ofc I hope other heroes will get some new skins too.

Hopefully there is no BF3 and they actually complete and make this one as good as it can be.

They seem to be done with the CW for this year.

High_Grounder · October 16, 2019 8:26AM

Appearances are always appreciated.

Yes, a lot of people want OT and ST. But a lot of people, including myself, also want Co-Op Defence, so who is this "we?"

"We" is all the people that want OT and ST maps, obviously. Also, I've barely seen anyone ask for a Defense version of these maps compared to the number of people asking for OT and ST maps, but, as usual, DICE are listening to the smallest voices rather than the biggest ones.
