While I'm semi-confident Disney wouldn't do something as stupid as making two non-Force sensitive nobodies from a video-game the highly-anticipated parents of their main new character in the Skywalker family saga , I feel threatened nonetheless.
EDIT: That's not to say Rey's parents have to be big-shot Jedi-in-training, but them being non Force sensitives would raise far more questions than answers.
How would the film even present that?
"Your parents were Imperial Special Forces defectors... to learn more, check out Battlefront 2!"
That would be the most notoriously awful reveal in history, rofl.
Agreed. I’m really hoping they’re just fvcking with us

I honestly wouldn't put it past them.

True. They have been voted worst company in the world twice I think.

They said they will reverse this change at some point after the launch. Progression is only cash-free for the time being, presumably to reverse the damages to sales brought by the press.

I'm waiting to see what they replace the current progression system before buying it. But, yeah, this great news; news that I certainly never anticipated.

Nah. They said they will bring back purchases, not that progression being cash-free is temporary.
Based on the Reddit AMA, I think they'll remodel the lootboxes into a cosmetic store like clone trooper skins.

Anyone know how/if you can view your online stats like total kills, score, kill death ratio, etc? I've been trying to figure that out

Apparently Disney grilled EA's ass after the reddit fiasco.

Ironically this is coming from the same company who is forcing theaters to show TLJ for two-three more weeks than normal, asking for an extra 20% share of the profits on top of their 50% share(?) and are basically killing small business.
Still, when a company that's doing THAT grills you for how greedy you're being, it's saying a lot about how shitty you are LMAO

Nah, Disney doesn't give a fu ck about the greed. They just don't want the bad press about their property. Prolly just called and said, "You fix this before I break my foot in your ass."

The way their abilities are described makes them sound legit.
Either way EA and DICE are gonna wanna fix their PR. Best done through more Clone Wars heroes.
