As seen in YouTube user Zephs’ video below, Skywalker is hopping, dodging, and sprinting across the snow-strewn fields of Hoth during a match for one of the multiplayer modes known as Walker Assault. As soon as the player in the role of a Snowtrooper realizes that Luke is getting close enough for a kill, he reasonably runs away, leading Skywalker toward an AT-AT. The triumphant John Williams’ score of the Star Wars’ Overture has thus far set the tone for a grandiose display of Jedi prowess, only to be cut short when the hero is flattened like a pancake.
Sadly, the hero dies a most demeaning death, as the top half of his body sticks out of the snow, glitching uncontrollably. Adding further insult to injury, not only has Skywalker been killed, but he also gets stepped on once more by the slowly advancing Walker.

Much like most things on the Internet, the video’s made its rounds to various sources, and has even reached the person who brought the character of Luke Skywalker to life – that is, Mark Hamill, who ostensibly took time out of his schedule working on his role in Star Citizen to check it out. In fact, the performer took to his Twitter account to mention the footage.

Recently, DICE and Electronic Arts leaked the inclusion of well known characters such as Han Solo and Emperor Palpatine. Bearing in mind the addition of the fan-favorite smuggler, it’s inevitable that the Internet will be flooded with videos featuring the lovable rogue piloting the Milennium Falcon once Battlefront goes live and he becomes a playable character.
