Game On:Destination Jakku

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits the theatre on December 18, 2015 and as many us know we will be introduced to new characters, creatures and  planets.  One planet that plays a major role in the new Star Wars Canon is the Planet Jakku.

Jakku is a desert planet located in a remote section of the Western Reaches and is known as the final battle between the New Republic and Galactic Empire.  The Battle of Jakku took place just over a year after the Battle of Endor.

Now of course the footage you will see comes from the new DLC from Star Wars: Battlefront from EAStarWars and Dice.

Now enjoy your trip thanks to Mike Fahey of Kotaku

As debris from battles above shower the desert ground, the feeling of chaos is intensifying. A Star Destroyer has just crash-landed and some of its engines are still smoking. The battle has just begun…

We are proud to give you a first visual glimpse of The Battle of Jakku, coming to Star Wars™ Battlefront™ on December 1st, 2015, for all those that pre-ordered Star Wars Battlefront, and a week later for all other game holders. The Battle of Jakku was the pivotal moment when the New Republic confronted key Imperial holdouts on a remote desert planet.

Taking place in the aftermath of the Rebel victory in the Battle of Endor, players will experience the events that created the massive, battle-scarred landscape of Jakku shown in Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™.
