The series was launched in 2004 by LucasArts with Star Wars: Battlefront, developed by Pandemic Studios for LucasArts. The game received positive reviews and sold well. In 2005 Pandemic developed a sequel, Star Wars: Battlefront II, which was also critically and commercially successful.

To navigate the world, players use a variety of vehicles, including both air and land-based vehicles, such as speederbikes and AT-ATs.
