Star Wars BattlefrontandStar Wars Battlefront 2were both hasten , which showed in the number of bugs and glitch present in both plot , much to the chagrin of players and critic . A extremely foresee open - worldStar Warstitle , codenamed Orca , was also canceled by the publisherto pushing through a smaller game that EA could publish quicker .
