General

 * This article's contents takes features from the current canon reboots of the Battlefront games as well as its original series and is also written as if it were a real Star Wars Battlefront game.
 * Originally the developers had scripts for two Singleplayer Campaigns in both eras, Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. The Clone Wars campaign following CC-1981, a clone commander of the 115th Battalion and the Galactic Civil War campaign following Luna Tachibana, an Alliance Army colonel.

Multiplayer

 * Coruscant is the only planet in the game that features a location for all gamemodes and the only one to feature a special mode.
 * Additionally, the Coruscant Orbit map is the only Space map that featured a Galactic Conquest, Starfighter Assault, and Assault maps.
 * Mustafar maps and Tatooine's Mos Eisley are the only cross-era maps in the game.
 * Conquest is played on all the same maps as Galactic Assault, however instead of Defenders being pushed back, the whole map has several Command Posts for players to capture and defend. Vehicles and Ariel Starfighter Combat are present as well.
 * It should be noted that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader share abilities.
 * There was an issue discovered with Emperor Palpatine's Force Lightning ability where some players reported to be being killed by this ability even when Palpatine was far away. The issue was that the ability allows the Lightning to arc from trooper to trooper, creating a "connecting the dots" scenario, however this was later patched and only arcs to a maximum of five enemies in front of Palpatine.
 * Many of the Force-sensitive Heroes and Villains share the Force Push, Force Choke, Force Lightning, Saber Rush, and Lightsaber Throw abilities.
 * Veers' TIE Bomber Support ability can be countered by starfighter players by destroying the incoming TIE Bombers to prevent them from delivering their strikes as Veers request via his ability.
