E3 is off to a strong unofficial start with EA Play's showcase of the first gameplay trailer for Star Wars: Battlefront II. 

The trailer features a map called Assault on Theed which was a pivotal battle in Star Wars lore for the battle on Naboo. The stage here is packed with action where you can appreciate battle Droids and Troopers having intense battles in some of the most stunning and intricate Star Wars settings to date.
