The Emperor himself has taken it upon himself to destroy the rebels himself. EA has announced that Emporer Palpatine is the final playable character for Star Wars Battlefront. He joins Darth Vader and Boba Fett in the quest to crush those who oppose the empire. The Emperor's force lightning, imperial resources and force dash are hid three unique abilities that allow him to control the battlefield
Force lightning is an area of effect ability dealing damage to enemies in all directions. It doesn't matter who is around you because they will end up as burnt toast.
Imperial Resources is a support ability that gives allies around the emperor supply drops and temporary buffs that turn the tide of war. It also allows him to give more health to other heroes.
Force dash allows the emperor to move in on the enemy by dashing in or out of his target location. This allows him more agility to move in on enemies by dashing in and frying everyone with force lightning. Force dash can also be a great get away tool when he is in trouble.
