Thanks to some serious sleuthing by TheeUberMedic, who shared his findings on Reddit and whom we spoke with individually, the beta release of Battlefront is billed with some unencrypted clues in some of the 11gb game's text files.

First and foremost, Boba Fett is not available in the beta release. The version that gets unlocked on October 8 is expected to just allow you to play as Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. Nevertheless, many of the files in the download cite the bounty hunter.

Second, none of the following sound or art files mentioned appear to be unencrypted and/or available on the download. As a fair use ethic here at the Boba Fett Fan Club, we're not going to crack open any files. Everything here is read by just opening .SB files in a text editor from a freely available download.

In a file called Arctic, there's a reference to Boba Fett getting his own intro and outro music!

<pre>/music/hero/bobafett/sw01_music_hero_bobafett_outro
/music/hero/bobafett/sw01_music_hero_bobafett_intro_01</pre>

In a file called Characters, we'll hear a sound just as Boba Fett enters battle. That's a nice touch!

<pre>sound/vo/heroes/bobafett/sw01_vo_heroes_bobafett_auto_inworld_enteringbattle</pre>

In a file called Globals, there will be some art relating to a Slave I power up.

<pre>ui/art/pickups/powerup_display_slave1_01</pre>

This file also mentions a bunch of modes, two of which haven't yet been revealed by Electronic Arts in their massive media rollout for this game: Cargo, Domination, Fighter Squadron, Supremacy, Dropzone, Walker Assault, and Team Blast. There's also a lot of references to something called Hero Battle.

In a file called Volcanic, there's the same intro/outro music files mentioned, plus a shorter intro:

<pre>sound/music/hero/bobafett/sw01_music_hero_bobafett_intro_01
sound/music/hero/bobafett/sw01_music_hero_bobafett_introshort_01
sound/music/hero/bobafett/sw01_music_hero_bobafett_outro_01</pre>

There's also a ton of sound effects having to do with spawning, attacking, and also killing characters like Luke and Han Solo! Perhaps Fett says something specific to each other character -- and perhaps in this Hero Battle mode.

That's the latest. As the game is officially open (and free!) to play tomorrow, here's to hoping we find something more.

Update 10/8: The text references correspond to actual audio files. Here's our video compilation plus the transcript of what's been found:
