A Legendary Scene Reborn in Battlefront 2
One of the most iconic moments in Star Wars history—the Darth Vader hallway massacre from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story—was recently and accidentally recreated in Star Wars Battlefront 2. Reddit user u/VerratusDominatu posted a jaw-dropping clip where they, playing as Darth Vader, cleared out a tight corridor of enemies on the Endor map using Vader’s lightsaber and Force powers. The resemblance to the climactic Rogue One scene was uncanny.
In Rogue One, Darth Vader brutally cuts through Rebel soldiers in a dark hallway, trying to retrieve stolen Death Star plans. This moment was praised for its horror-like intensity and cemented Vader’s reputation as one of the galaxy’s most feared Sith Lords. Seeing that recreated organically in a multiplayer match highlights just how cinematic and immersive Battlefront 2 can be—even nearly a decade after release.

Battlefront 2 Sees Renewed Interest Amid Star Wars Hype
This viral clip comes during a surprising revival for Star Wars Battlefront 2. Fan interest has surged following the release of Andor Season 2 footage, the re-release of Revenge of the Sith in theaters, and the annual May the 4th celebrations. Servers have seen renewed activity, with players sharing highlight clips and engaging in nostalgia-fueled discussion online.
Although the game originally launched in 2017 to controversy, years of updates and support from DICE have turned it into a fan favorite. The organic creation of iconic Star Wars moments like this one continues to show the game’s lasting appeal.
Will Battlefront 3 Ever Happen?
This resurgence in interest has reignited conversations about a potential Star Wars Battlefront 3. Many fans are hoping that EA and DICE will take notice and consider greenlighting a new installment. However, with DICE currently focused on developing Battlefield 6, it’s unclear whether a new Battlefront is in active development.
Still, clips like this Vader moment help fans make a compelling case for the franchise’s return. If support continues to grow, EA may be more inclined to revisit the beloved series.
