I don’t claim to pilot the A-Wing in this Star Wars Battlefront dogfighting video terribly well–I was just easing into the game’s flying modes when I grabbed it. But if you want a glimpse of “Fighter Squadron,” where 10 Rebel Alliance pilots (in A-Wings, X-Wings and the Millennium Falcon) square off against 10 Imperials (in Tie Fighters, Tie Interceptors and Boba Fett’s Slave I), this is what it looks like to swoop and soar over the toxic Star Wars-ian outer rim planet Sullust in one of my favorite online modes.
