UPDATED Nov. 13 5:34 p.m. ET: It's over. Thanks for joining us for the good times. I wasn't half as bad as I expected to be, but Battlefront also seems like a pretty forgiving game for people of my limited skillset. Check back with Mashable Gaming early next week for a full breakdown of the game.
It's pretty cool to crest a hill on the planet Endor and see a giant Imperial AT-AT walker bearing down on you. At least until an errant laser blast turns your Rebel into a pile of ash.
That's been my experience in Star Wars: Battlefront so far. Run, run, jump, shoot, run, ru-- HOLY HELL LOOK AT THAT STAR WARS THING. Followed by a laser to the face and a "You died" screen.
Now you know what you're in for when you check out our Battlefront stream at 4:30 p.m. ET on the Mashable Twitch channel. I can't promise you good play. But you'll get to see the game in action and then laugh when some Rebel scum guns me down while I'm yammering excitedly about a nerdy bit of lore.
Your own wait to play is almost over. Star Wars: Battlefront comes to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One next Tuesday, Nov. 17.
