Star Wars: Battlefront video shows off special character abilities

Star Wars Battlefront

Star Wars: Battlefront will let you play as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker among a host of other series icons, but what difference does it make in a multiplayer shooter context? I don't know to be honest, but the above video outlines how each will wield their signature weapons and/or abilities on the battlefield.

Star Wars: Battlefront releases this Tuesday. EA detailed the season pass earlier today, which nets you 16 new maps over the course of 2016. Oh, and there are speeder bikes.
