Trivia:

While playing in Conquest Mode as Han Solo, you can occasionally hear one of the Imperial Troopers say, "Hey! Solo shot first! That's not fair!" while Han is killing other troopers. This is a reference to a difference between the Special Edition version of Star Wars (1977) and the original version. Specifically, the scene where Greedo confronts Han in the Mos Eisley cantina was edited, featuring a laser bolt from Greedo's weapon that barely misses Han's head just before Han kills Greedo. In the original version, Han did indeed shoot first, killing Greedo before Greedo had a chance to shoot (the in-game remark about unfairness presumably referring to the fact that, in the Special Edition movie version, Han clearly killed in self-defense, while the killing of Greedo in the original version was a more questionable use of pre-emptive self-defense).

Goofs:

Continuity: In the cut scene before the Felucia: Heart of Darkness level, Aayla Secura has a blue and a purple lightsaber, but during gameplay, she has a blue and green lightsaber.

Quotes:

Emperor Palpatine: [upon entry] Your master has arrived!

Outer Space and Classic Characters Added.

Battlefront 2 made a few additions to the game from Battlefront 1 to further improve it. I like how in this game you get to play as many classic Star Wars characters. Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Yoda, The Emperor, Obi Wan Kenobi(younger version), and many others. My favorite to use is Jango and Boba Fett. The Fetts are awesome. Also new in this game is that there are some outer space battles. There also are new infantry if you just want to play as a certain army. I like this game for the most part but I think the effects are not as detailed as they were in the first one. BUt this is a great star wars game and I recommend it.
