The Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection features iconic characters from both the original and prequel eras of Star Wars.

The only way to describe the Classic Collection does not feature cross-platform multiplayer, one of its biggest hindrances, there are still almost 20 legendary Star Wars playable characters with unique abilities to keep gameplay fun and fresh. With Jedi, bounty hunters, and Sith Lords, fans of all play styles can find a character that fits their desires.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection - "A Rough Start That Not Even Nostalgia Can Mend"

Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection is the latest addition to Aspyr's lineup of remastered classics, but nostalgia may be all it has to offer.

19 Han Solo Is Hardly Worth Playing

Han Solo's Abilities Include Rally And A Detonation Pack

Although Harrison Ford preferred playing a different character over Han Solo, the space cowboy is one of the most recognizable pop culture icons to this day. Unfortunately, in Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, the Galaxy's best pilot lands as the weakest of all the playable characters due to his underwhelming abilities. With a meager detonation pack and the Rally ability, which gives nearby teammates a reduction in damage received, Han Solo doesn't offer much of a punch.

18 Chewbacca Is A Disappointing Character

Chewbacca's Only Ability Is Rage

Similar to his lifelong partner, Han Solo, Chewbacca is a beloved Star Wars legend with abilities that won't stand the test of time without major improvement. One of the few characters with only one ability in Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, Chewbacca has Rage, a brief buff that increases nearby teammates' damage. While Rage is a somewhat helpful addition to the team, it pales in comparison to the power of other characters and ultimately renders Chewbacca nearly useless.

17 Kit Fisto Is A New But Forgettable Addition

Kit Fisto's Only Ability Is The Water Ball Force Push

The famous Nautolan Jedi from the prequel trilogy, Kit Fisto is one of the new characters to be added to Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection. As a Nautolan, Fisto could breathe underwater and was an incredibly gifted swimmer as well, but is sadly limited to one power in the Classic Collection. Fisto's only ability is the Water Ball Force Push, and while it's undeniably fun to push water at enemies, it is not a viable option in combat.

16 Jango Fett Comes With Two Familiar Weapons

Jango Fett's Abilities Include Wrist Rockets And A Flamethrower

Jango Fett will forever be known as the basis for all clones in the Star Wars universe, even though not all clones look exactly like him. His abilities in Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection line up almost exactly with what he uses on the planet Kamino in Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. Jango has his standard blaster, his iconic wrist rockets, and his infamous flamethrower, both of which can help him get out of a tight spot.

15 Boba Fett Has Appeared In Several Star Wars Games

Boba Fett's Abilities Include Wrist Rockets And A Flamethrower

After recent appearances in the classic Battlefront games and the recent remakes, coupled with a cameo in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and a Disney + show, Boba Fett has reclaimed the Star Wars spotlight. With identical abilities to his father, Jango, Boba Fett is a solid option in Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, but sured by other, more well-rounded characters. Boba also has wrist rockets and a flamethrower to go along with his blaster, which can feel weak when facing off against opponents with a lightsaber.

14 General Grievous Is A Weak Villain

General Grievous' Only Ability Is Rage

The menacing General Grievous, who was actually voiced by George Lucas in the prequel trilogy, is one of Star Wars' unique characters with his raspy voice and multiple lightsabers. Sadly, he is barely a viable villain in Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection when held against the other Sith Lords that players have the option to choose from, given he can't use The Force and only has one ability. Similar to Chewbacca, General Grievous can use Rage, which gives nearby teammates a damage buff, but his lightsabers are the character's biggest appeal.

13 Asajj Ventress Is The Most Anticipated Addition

Asajj Ventress' Only Ability Is Nun Chuck Lightsabers

Once thought to be dead, Asajj Ventress' recent appearance in The Bad Batch Season 3 trailer shocked the world by retconning her death and bringing her back to life. Although the hype for her to be a playable character in Star Wars: Battlefront Complete Collection was off the charts, it quickly dissipated once it was apparent she only had one disappointing ability. Despite being a powerful Force , Asajj Ventress' only ability in the Complete Collection is nun chuck lightsabers, which, while special, are incomparable to other Force s in the game.

12 Princess Leia Organa Changed Star Wars Forever

Leia Organa's Only Ability Is Invulnerability

Whether it's waging war against the Galactic Empire in the original trilogy or leading the charge against the First Order in the more recent sequels, Princess Leia Organa has always been a force for good in Star Wars. She may not be the most powerful character in Star Wars: Battlefront Complete Collection, but she does bring a ability to the table that no one else has. Leia's special ability is Invulnerability, which regenerates nearby teammates' health, a valuable skill in a game where combat is constant.

11 Mace Windu Is One Of The Weaker Jedi

Mace Windu's Abilities Include Force Push And Saber Throw

Mace Windu facing off against Darth Vader and Count Dookue in Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection

Samuel L. Jackson's portrayal of the legendary Mace Windu throughout the prequels is one of the trilogy's bright spots, but his character in Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is not as strong as his live-action counterpart. Mace Windu has only two abilities: Force Push and Saber Throw, which are handy but can be countered by experienced players. Despite being in the middle of the pack for popular characters in the Classic Collection, playing as Mace Windu in any Star Wars game will always be fun, thanks to his iconic purple lightsaber.

10 Obi-Wan Kenobi Is Mediocre In The Classic Collection

Obi-Wan Kenobi's Abilities Include Force Push And Saber Throw

Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar in Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection

Obi-Wan Kenobi has been a staple in the Star Wars universe for more than five decades, with an appearance in the franchise's debut, A New Hope, and more recently in a Disney + series. He was forced to work harder and study more than most to develop his power, far more than his Padawan Anakin Skywalker, but this resilience and commitment made him strong. He boasts the same abilities as Mace Windu in Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, Force Push, and Saber Throw, leaving him as a mediocre option, at best.
