Star Wars Battlefront text dump might give away new weapons and modes

Now I say 'might' in the header for two reasons. Firstly, this could all be fake and secondly, if it's real, some of it could be old and no longer relevant. With that in mind, let's look at this Star Wars Battlefront 'string dump'. Essentially it's a text file ripped out of the beta containing all the words that might appear on screen. That includes everything from weapon descriptions and menu prompts, right through to terms and conditions and customer surveys. If it is fake then someone typed out 4352 lines of pretty tedious stuff.

There's more detail in the gallery but even a quick glance through the lines reveal some interesting potential. Plenty of characters are mentioned, either directly or through quotes. Yoda's in there, as is R2 and C3PO (quite a lot of C3PO, actually). Ewoks also get several mentions, including this achievement: "Get hit in the head by a rock from an Ewok on Endor".

There's also what looks like fresh info on Missions. EA and DICE said these would channel classic moments from the film and it looks like there's more on the way than just Survival, with mention of a Endor Chase sounding a lot like it might involve speeder bikes (a vehicle also outed in the text). Beggar's Cannon from Tatooine also gets a mention.

There's a ton of new guns mentioned too just in case you're one of those people that thought the beta had everything. And there's also mention of Traits, another new thing that seems to be some sort of Star Card that works like an actively maintained perk - starting every round at level one and levelling up its ability as you play. Let us know if you see anything I missed.
