There is always a market for a Star Wars shooter...
There are still quite a few Star Wars weapons out there that are not showcased in the game. However, I am unsure which ones are "canon" vs "expanded universe". Here is a list of weapons from the original Battlefront series. I would definitely like to see some of these make an appearance.

Unfortunately most of those are from the expanded universe. The logic of Disney's canon is if it was in the originals or the prequels, it's canon, otherwise it doesn't exist. So only the weapons found in the originals made it into this game, as the prequels aren't playable. While in the originals there were quite a bit of vehicles, both sides had maybe 3 or 4 guns, then they added in their own touches, probably under the consent of Disney to add in stuff like the cycle rifle.

Didn't the phantom menace mention the New Sith Wars

Wasn't the cycle rifle the one used by the Sand People on Tatooine? I hope they come up with some cool new weapons going forward with Episode VII, VIII, etc..

Huh, you are correct about the raider using it, so that was incorrect, but they still only had a total of 11 weapons to work with, one of which was a preorder bonus.

Edited by DownwardSpyril: 11/26/2015 4:42:37 PMI know of 1 more weapon...Leia's Sporting Blaster Pistol. Instead of going with the trooper blaster rifle...that should have been the hero signature weapon for her IMO. Speaking of rebel heroes. I wish they had tailored the character models based on the event/location being played. Instead of just having 1 model for each hero being used across the board.

That would have been nice
