We've left this is a simple taste of what's to come with the January 2017 patch. They're actually a little too long for us to fully list here, so each section has been heavily cut down. On top of these changes, there's numerous alterations for Hero character including Bossk, Chewbaca, Leia, Darth Vader, Luke, Lando and more than a couple others.
For those, however, we kindly ask that you head on over to the official patch page <A href="http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/forums/discussion/66403/star-wars-battlefront-january-2017-patch-notes"#>over on the Battlefront blog</a>. You'll find a lot more to work with there.
