Each player is outfitted with a partner, and the duo are able to spawn on each other and share loadouts. Players are able to play as hero and villain characters such as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. Instead of a single-player campaign, the game features a set of co-op missions that can be played alone, online, or offline with split-screen. The game has the option to switch at will between first-person mode and third-person mode, much like the previous entries in the series. Instead, it reinterprets the stories and battles presented in the original trilogy, alongside some battles presented in the novel Battlefront: Twilight Company such as the Siege of Inyusu Tor.

From booking last minute flights to tracking down identical copies of "Harry Potter" books for Miranda's bratty children, Andrea was treated more like a Louis Vuitton-wearing gopher than an actual human being. However, like the basic female protagonist archetype we have seen one too many times, Andrea thought she was different.Īndrea’s internship at Runway is centered around being Miranda Priestly’s personal slave - constantly overworked and underappreciated.
