We worked with the Lucasfilm Story Group to imagine what types of qualities Nien Nunb might have as a soldier on the ground. Matt Fillbrandt: Nien Nunb being a Sullustan, a well-loved character from Return of the Jedi, and having just made an appearance in The Force Awakens felt like a natural choice. What drove you to include him as a playable hero in Battlefront? : Nien Nunb was shown to be an ace pilot in Return of the Jedi, but we never saw him doing any sort of ground operations. Matt Fillbrandt: We wanted characters that were iconic in the Star Wars universe, but also felt thematically linked to Tatooine and Sullust they had to be fun to play in combat with abilities that fit their character, so they felt authentic. : When trying to think of new Hero characters to include in the Outer Rim expansion, what criteria was considered to find the right characters? Together, a theme of expanded play in the Outer Rim naturally emerged. Sullust is really seen in depth for the first time in Star Wars Battlefront and offers a unique opportunity to show off new, never-before-seen areas of the factories that the Empire established here to fuel their war machines. The DICE team wanted to go deeper and bring one of the most iconic locations in Star Wars to life - Jabba’s palace - and give our fans a fun place to play and relive memories of Return of the Jedi. Matt Fillbrandt: We have maps set on the planets of Tatooine and Sullust in the game since launch, both of which are located in the Outer Rim, so Star Wars Battlefront had already established a strong presence there. : Why take Battlefront to the Outer Rim? What thematically were you hoping to convey with this first expansion?
To get more insight into what the Outer Rim expansion brings to Battlefront, spoke with Lucasfilm executive producer Matt Fillbrandt. To EA and developer DICE, this made the region of galactic space ripe for inclusion in Star Wars Battlefront. Few places in Star Wars hold as much mystery, danger, and exotic locals as the Outer Rim.
