Last update: 11 May 2016

On one side, there is Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo, while against them there are Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine and Boba Fett. This mode is played on small 6 vs 6 maps. There are no vehicles available in this mode.
Mode rules
In this mode, three randomly selected players from each team become the heroes or villains characters for one round.
The other players are regular soldiers. However, they can join the game regularly or as honor guards. In that case, instead of the regular star cards they will receive rocket launcher and homing missile. The only players on which you can respawn like that are Emperor Palpatine and Princess Leia Organa. There can't be more than two members of honor guard at once.
The objective of both teams is killing enemy heroes or villains. The game is divided into rounds. The heroes and villains have one life per a round. However, after they die, they can respawn as regular soldiers.
The team that kills all three heroes or villains of enemy team or will have more of them alive after three minutes, wins. In case of similar number of alive heroes after three minutes, none team receives point. During the next round, other players become heroes or villains.
The team which will gather five points as first wins the match.
Advices
1. Don't play too offensive with your heroes
Don't rush yourself ahead when playing as hero or villain. Survival is the key to victory. You should hide and wait for the end of the round, especially if you're the last one. Sometimes the game goes in such direction that a draw is the best you can get.
2. Honor guard
If it is possible, respawn as honor guard. These characters are equipped with weapon that is good for fighting heroes or villains. Additionally, the honor guard has better armor and it deals more damage to enemies.
