In the trailers for the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we’ve repeatedly seen a derelict Star Destroyer on planet of sand, and now publisher Electronic Arts is giving us a first glimpse of how that ship ended up in that position.

One of the preorder bonuses EA is promising for Star Wars: Battlefront is early access to the level called “Battle of Jakku,” and today’s new trailer from EA and developer DICE gives us another look at this fight.
