Isn’t it like the last one where you could play as any hero anywhere? I’d prefer that to locale-specific heroes.
I’m also hoping that the different era soldier types aren’t locked to specific locations.
That might be the case. Truth be told, I didn’t play the first one. I’m actually alright with that. I thought you only have a limited selection of heroes based on the map (like the original Battlefront 2; if you were playing Utapau, for example, you could only play as either Grievous or Obi-Wan), and they just decided that Rey and Han Solo fit for Naboo. If you can pick from all the heroes and play whoever you want, then it doesn’t bother me.
