It's fun to be part of the spectacle, but the third time Darth Maul murders you the joy wears off.
Playing as a regular trooper really feels like being an extra in the movies, as you're going to get smushed by walkers and have your guts cauterized by lightsabers near the end of a match. When I have too few points to spawn as anything cool, the race for more pushes me impatiently at objectives like the fodder I am. It's earning those points so you can do some real damage.
Your primary goal in any multiplayer mode is not your team's objective, whether that's blowing up a giant transport tank in Theed or stealing an AT-AT on Endor. I'm mostly talking about Battle Points, which are earned and spent mid-match to spawn as X-wings, AT-STs, jump troopers, wookiees, and all sorts of other Star Wars combatants, including heroes and villains like Yoda, Rey, and Kylo Ren.
