Star Wars Battlefront will give players the option to play as a female Stormtrooper character, according DICE general manager Patrick Bach.

"Male or female characters are separate from customization," Bach said. The team tried to stay true to what players would want to customize within the Star Wars universe."You can’t do it in crazy ways. You can’t have a pink Darth Vader," he said, saying that the game's features are designed based around what the Star Wars universe is all about. "You want the Stormtroopers to look like Stormtroopers," Back added. Given the inclusion of females in the Stormtrooper corps going back to the time of Palapatine's rule, the choice of male or female is inline with the already established canon.It was also revealed that Star Wars Battlefront gamers will be able to play as Boba Fett, Darth Vader, and more in the upcoming game, which is scheduled to release November 17.
