Star Wars Battlefront: EA releases awesome live-action trailer

Anna Kendrick stars in the live-action trailer for the upcoming game

Star Wars Battlefront is due for release on PS4, Xbox One and PC on 19 November (EA)

As if Star Wars fans weren't frothing at the mouth enough over the impending release of Star Wars Battlefront on 19 November, EA has released a live-action trailer for the game.

The relatively new phenomenon of live-action trailers for games is a little strange, but we're not complaining about this one.

The trailer shows a number of different people - a businessman, two school pupils and even a few trendy hipsters - vanishing into thin air as their clothes collapse on the floor, just like Obi-Wan Kenobi did Star Wars: A New Hope.

They've even managed to recruit actor Anna Kendrick for the trailer, getting her to recite Obi-Wan's famous "if you strike me down..." quote before pulling her own vanishing act.

All the raptured gamers are then teleported into the game, where they proceed to shoot lasers at each other and ride speeder bikes and generally do all the cool stuff that Star Wars Battlefront lets you do.

There's no major reveals in the trailer unfortunately, but it should help increase the frenzy surrounding this hotly-anticipated game.

The beta is already up and running, but the full game will have plenty more environments to explore, offline single player and co-op modes, and even more 'heroes' like Princess Leia and Palpatine for gamers to kill their foes with.
