Also of note, the Battlefront II Theed gameplay debuted this week, and noticed this little detail

It appears that (for this pre-alpha at least) the digital assets from TPM were used for the Theed palace, assets that DO NOT include the bridge added in to the “canon” Blu Ray and DVD. wondering if the team working on BFII either overlooked this for the alpha, or if it’s an intentional detail, seeing as how nuanced and attentive they’ve been with the rest of the map.I thought most of these were model shots?
I’d have to go back and watch the behind the scenes stuff again, from the Blu Ray and DVD, but I do know some scenery were sculpted scale models, then scanned and turned into computer models, so based on what the developers said during IGN’s livestream of BFII, the DICE team had access to those digital scans. I’m lead to assume that those digital models from the movies that are being used in game right now doesn’t include that pesky bridge on the right of the palace. This is either an overlooked detail they didn’t notice or didn’t worry about since it is pre-alpha, a lack of access to the digital model that includes the bridge (if that exists), or the bridge is something they intentionally left out, considering how detailed everything else is and how they obviously did their research to get the look and feel and details right. I got super curious so I sent a tweet to Associate Design Director Dennis Brännvall about it.
