There's been a boatload of Star Wars Battlefront rumors lately. I managed to find a round-up of the important ones so I'll list them right here


 * The campaign will span the entire Star Wars saga.


 * You will play as Republic, Rebellion, Separatists, and Empire, and will take parts in battles from The Clone Wars as well as the space battle over Coruscant from Revenge of the Sith.


 * Most of the campaign will take place during the original trilogy. It is said the campaign will be pretty long.


 * There will be some segments between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, but not a lot because "Lucasfilm has a lot of plans for that era".


 * The last part of the campaign takes place before and during the opening parts of The Force Awakens. There won't be anything too revealing, because the game is expected to ship about a month before Episode 7's release.


 * For both the Republic and Empire you can play as characters that appear in The Force Awakens.


 * Either during the part between RotJ and TFA or during the opening of TFA, a character with the last name Tarkin will appear.


 * The scale of the multiplayer will be similar to Battlefield 4's with 32v32 battles.


 * Space to land battles will happen, but only in certain game modes.


 * There will be a hero system, similar to the original Battlefronts, where once you get enough points in a match you can cash them in to play as a hero.


 * You should expect up to 5 DLC Packs for the game, with the first releasing before the end of 2015. All the DLC Packs will be themed around the trilogies, with the first 2-3 DLCs being themed around The Force Awakens.


 * The game will ship with several The Force Awakens characters, but some will be part of DLC Packs. All characters from the trailer will be available at launch, as well as the new X-wings and TIE fighters.


 * Tons of new ships and other vehicles.


 * Each DLC will have at least three new maps, new hero characters, and new vehicles.


 * Some rumored maps: Hoth during The Empire Strikes Back, Endor during Return of the Jedi, Alderaan, Coruscant, Yavin IV during A New Hope, and three versions of Tatooine during The Phantom Menace, A New Hope, and The Force Awakens.

Keep in mind these are all rumors and have not been confirmed by DICE/EA/Lucasfilm, therefore these may not be true.

Now, here are some things I would like to see out of the game:


 * Interactive map elements - Things such as levolution from Battlefield 4, and even simple things from the original Battlefronts. For example, having stuff like the sarlacc that would eat you and the Tusken Raiders that would attack both sides on the Tatooine map in the original Star Wars: Battlefront.


 * Battlepacks - Battlefield is known to have battlepacks. Opening battlepacks will reward you with things such as camos, emblem customization options, Battlelog portraits, knives, weapon paints, and XP boosts. I'm hoping they add a similar system in Star Wars: Battlefront.


 * Classes and Custom Loadouts - Battlefield also has four different classes to play as in every game, and you can make custom loadouts for each class. I'm hoping that Star Wars: Battlefront will have something similar.


 * Premium/Season Pass - Most FPS games have Premium/Season Passes these days that will get you access to all DLC (and, if we're basing this off Battlefield 4 Premium, a lot more) at a discounted price. I'm hoping something like this is implemented into Star Wars: Battlefront.

So, those are the rumors, as well as what I want to see in Star Wars: Battlefront. What do you guys think of the rumors, and what do you want to see in Star Wars: Battlefront?
