Things We Saw Today: Emperor Palpatine Is Keeping Secrets In This Scene From Star Wars Battlefront II

In this cutscene from Star Wars Battlefront II, we see the game’s protagonist, Iden Versio, receive Emperor Palpatine’s final orders for how to crush the Rebellion. Versio is the leader of Inferno Squadron, an elite Imperial task force, and the game follows her in a canon story from the period between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Honestly, if all the event scenes are this cinematic and intriguing, I can’t wait to see how the story’ll turn out! (via /Film)
