Since the Star Wars Battlefront beta began it has been rumored that Han Solo, Princess Leia and Emperor Palpatine would be playable in the games through the Hero system, joining Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. A recent data dump supported the rumor even more and added to it with a ton of new details.
Following the all-but-outright confirmation of the additional Heroes, DICE has officially revealed Han Solo, Princess Leia and Emperor Palpatine. Check them out below!

Han Solo
In Star Wars Battlefront, Han Solo is your traditional gunslinger. He was designed with 'lone wolf' players in mind. He's got a boosted arsenal with tons of focus on damage, offense and mobility. That means that he'll move fast, but won't be able to take too many hits.

-
Shoulder Charge:
- An offensive and defensive move that quickly gets you into or out of battles.
