Sorry console owners, this one’s PC only, but it’s the latest in the epic saga of the Resistance (fans) fighting back against the Empire (EA) and we felt it a noteworthy story. Remember back in November when EA talked about customization in Star Wars Battlefront 2" At that time, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said ?The one thing we?re very focused on and they?re extremely focused on is not violating the canon of Star Wars. So if you did a bunch of cosmetic things, you might start to violate the canon. Darth Vader in white probably doesn?t make sense, versus in black. Not to mention you probably don?t want Darth Vader in pink. No offense to pink, but I don?t think that?s right in the canon.?
Apparently any customization options need to befit the canon (ignoring, of course, the fact that the very nature of multiple eras of heroes fighting together is canon breaking, but maybe they’re just talking aesthetics). In response to Jorgensen’s statement, a PC modder went ahead and did just what Jorgensen said we “probably don’t want.” He created Darth Vader in pink. Slapped with the tagline “For those who may not be necessarily concerned about “canon” in their Star Wars video game,” it’s clear that this mod is meant to poke fun at Jorgensen’s statement. The modder also mentions that a white Darth Vader outfit will be coming soon.
To be fair to DICE and EA, it’s likely that Lucasfilm has placed a number...
