Thanks to some serious sleuthing by TheeUberMedic, who shared his findings on Reddit<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In a file called “Arctic,” there’s a reference to Boba Fett getting his own intro and outro music!<\/p>\n

In a file called “Characters,” we’ll hear a sound just as Boba Fett enters battle. That’s a nice touch!<\/p>\n

In a file called “Globals,” there will be some art relating to a Slave I power up.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n
In a file called “Volcanic,” there’s the same intro\/outro music files mentioned, plus a shorter intro:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

That’s the latest. As the game is officially open (and free!) to play tomorrow, here’s to hoping we find something more.<\/p>\n
