Star Wars: Battlefront’s Death Star trailer shows the joys of playing as R2-D2 and Chewbacca

Everyone knows that the real hero in that galaxy far, far away is a stout droid with the designation R2-D2. Now, Electronic Arts is giving players the chance to accurately portray that irrefutable fact.

The publisher released a trailer for the new Death Star expansion that is available now in developer DICE’s Star Wars: Battlefront shooter on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC for anyone who has the game’s Season Pass add-on. This extra content introduces five maps including its first space battle. As the name of the DLC suggests, these stages all focus on the Death Star, so you can expect to have to fend off turbolasers and to fight it out with stormtroopers around tractor-beam power generators. Oh, and you can’t siege the Death Star without the help of new playable hero characters like the Wookiee Chewbacca and the loyal R2-D2. But the Empire is getting some help as well in the form of bounty hunter Bossk (the lizard-looking character from The Empire Strikes Back).
