If you have EA Access and pre-ordered Star Wars: Battlefront (which it will surprise no one to learn I did), you get 10 hours of time with the game this week before it releases wide on November 17th.  Having burned most of that time, I can tell you that you all are in for a treat.  It is much heavier on the multiplayer than single, but as far as an immersive Star Wars video game experience, you couldn’t ask for much more.  The game’s launch missions and multiplayer maps focus on the OT, but four expansions are scheduled and there happen to be four other Star Wars films, so you do the math.  Before you groan about that, Prequel Haters, just imagine the cathartic possibilities of a field of verdant Naboo grass covered in Gungans and you have Darth Maul.  Imagine how many wounds that would heal.  You achievement/trophy information below is courtesy of the best site on the net for such things, xboxachievements.com.  My gamertag on XB1, btw, is “sleeplessdave” and if you’re planning on doing some serious life avoidance in this game or any other, feel free to friend me.  Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a few hours left before I have to stew til Tuesday.
