Once you’ve had some time with Boba Fett, the flow of battle will be you shooting at enemies with your EE-3, and then punctuating that with either a rocket or flame attack whether you’re on the ground or in the sky.

But, once you’re up in the air again, you can continue to take pot shots at Luke, which can in turn be deflected – a good example of the tactical dynamic the fights between Heroes and Villains contain. If you’re facing off against Luke and your opponent can anticipate these landings, you might find yourself in a close encounter situation. That’s why we’ve added a fuel mechanic which forces Boba Fett to land from time to time before he can take off again.” “For instance, when Boba Fett was facing off with Luke Skywalker in early development, it was unbalanced as there were no limitations placed upon his flight capability.

“When we first designed Boba Fett’s flight pack, it quickly became clear that the ability to fly unhindered was very powerful compared to other characters who didn’t have that ability,” Jamie Keen explains. In his arsenal Boba Fett also has an EE-3 Carbine Rifle and his iconic wrist launchers from the original movie trilogy. Being equipped with a jetpack Boba Fett becomes very powerful compared to other characters, giving players the ability to soar across the large multiplayer maps.
