    From the official website’s season pass page.

    PLAY THE EXCLUSIVE JABBA’S GAMBIT MISSION AT LAUNCH

    Just as Kay is putting together a crew for the Canto Bight heist, she receives a job from Jabba the Hutt himself. Turns out that ND-5 owes Jabba a debt from years ago, and he has come to collect…

    That’s right, you have to spend even more money on a season pass to do the mission they highlighted in the promo. It’s gonna be a MTX money drain.

      oh my god I thought you were joking, that’s so fucking stupid. The thing they featured primarily isn’t even in the base game. I already left another comment in another thread about how we won’t even see any real star wars folks and they’ll keep all fighting against Sweet New Faction™ NPCs, and now to learn that the very few real Star Wars characters we know will be locked behind a Season Pass/preorder bullshit…

      So it’s Assassin’s Creed in space, with a coat of paint to look like Star Wars.

      I’ll have a ton of fun playing it next year when it’s $10 and they’ve given up on it.

        I don’t really get on with the EA Jedi games, so I’m looking forward to this one…eventually. Probably when it hits £20.
