Electronic Arts and DICE have released a new live action trailer for Star Wars Battlefront.

The Become More Powerful live action trailer shows a number of people taking a break from their regular day to jump into Star Wars Battlefront. These people can be seen taking a break from their jobs, school, work, and various other activities to jump into battle. The commercial even stars Anna Kendrick, who quotes Star Wars: A New Hope by saying “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine,” prior to vanishing into Battlefront.

Star Wars Battlefront will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 17.

  Don't you have to die to become a Force Ghost? And why did they Force Ghost to become non-Jedis like Stormtroopers and Rebel soldiers? 6/10

  What was the point of even casting her for that one line?

    Because that's all it takes to make a headline. Example: this article

    Because there's people out there who won't buy this game because it's for Star Wars dorks but if you get a pretty young Hollywood actress in the commercial it lets the mainstream know it's ok to buy the game.
    
    Also she might actually be a Star Wars fan but that's secondary to being young and hip in a commercial.

      If I were an alien species just arriving on Earth, this would be a very concerning point.

  From a marketing perspective this makes sense - but the game they made is a hardcore multiplayer-only competitive game. The broad casual market is going to be wrecked - but hey, they've already spent their $60.

        It's expected to sell 13 million and it will probably do it

        It still has components in it that will break the casual ness of if pretty damned quickly. Mainly the headshot + cycler rifle mechanic. It got a bit silly in the beta with how many people were just camped on hills sniping like a typical BF game.

    lol, I was thinking the same thing while watching this. Strong marketing and Star Wars hype is going to draw in people who haven't played much of this type of game and they are going to get smashed.
