Considering that the leak just made it to the public eye, it’s probably too early to talk about how people have been responding to it. For the most part, everyone just seems excited that they got their hands on something like this.
There are even suggestions that the community could take over the project and develop it further, making it into the exact game that people have wanted to see with some modding, but it’s not clear just how much potential there is for that given the lack of access to the actual development tools.
We will never stop being surprised by the efforts of dedicated gamers when it comes to their favorite titles and franchises though, and it’s very likely that some people out three are already actively trying to see exactly how much they can tweak the project.
But if the developers of the current “Battlefront” really want to win over the hearts of their fans, they should definitely pay close attention to the responses to this project and how fond fans are of certain ideas that were introduced in it.
