About STAR WARS Battlefront II (Classic, 2005)

Star Wars™ Battlefront II (Classic, 2005) expands the original’s ground combat with space battles, playable Jedi, and over sixteen new battlefronts, all built for Windows PCs.

The game combines a story‑driven single‑player saga, six soldier classes, more than thirty vehicles, and five online modes supporting up to sixty‑four players, delivering an action‑focused Star Wars experience.

01 / THE GUIDE

Single‑Player Campaign

The campaign follows Darth Vader’s 501st Legion, guiding players through a story‑based saga where each action influences the battlefield.

Progression is tied to narrative events rather than separate missions, creating a continuous flow that reflects player impact on the larger conflict.

  • Observe how enemy placements shift after key story moments.
  • Experiment with different classes to meet evolving objectives.

02 / THE GUIDE

Playable Jedi Characters

Jedi heroes grant lightsaber combat and Force powers, allowing characters like Yoda and Darth Vader to fight on foot.

These hero characters appear across all four factions, so Jedi abilities are available in both ground and space battles.

  • Try each Jedi to compare lightsaber reach and Force effects.
  • Use Jedi abilities in both ground skirmishes and space dogfights for variety.
