Reinforcement tickets are used whenever a unit is killed, or when one faction controls a majority of the command posts on the map (usually when the losing faction only has 2-3). The objective of most matches is to eliminate all of the opponents' reinforcement tickets or to capture the command points, to slowly chip away at their tickets. Playable heroes and villains play a significant role in changing the course of battles. Command post capturing works differently on certain campaign missions as well. On some maps (such as Hoth or Endor), certain structures also act as command posts that can not be captured. Some vehicles act as mobile command posts, and must be destroyed as they can not be captured.

The time to capture quickens with more friendly units within the capture zone.

Units can capture neutral or hostile command posts by approaching them and standing within the immediate vicinity for about 30 seconds. Units can spawn from any friendly command post, and vehicles regularly spawn at their respective command posts when destroyed. Across the battlefield are multiple 'command posts' (objectives) that act as spawn points, and can be controlled by either the player or the computer. Maps take place in the Star Wars galaxy, with battlezones varying in theme and size. Games in the Battlefront series normally revolve around two armies – the Galactic Republic versus the Confederacy of Independent Systems or the Galactic Empire versus the Rebel Alliance or First Order versus the Resistance – fighting each other on various maps. A sequel, Star Wars Battlefront II, was released on November 17, 2017, and was developed by EA DICE, Criterion Games, and Motive Studios. Subsequently, EA DICE acquired a license to develop a new game, titled Star Wars Battlefront which was released on November 17, 2015. LucasArts made several attempts to develop a third major Battlefront game but no projects were released before The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of LucasArts. The games were followed by Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron (2007) and Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron (2009) for handheld consoles and Star Wars Battlefront: Mobile Squadrons for mobile devices.

In 2005 Pandemic developed a sequel, Star Wars: Battlefront II, which was also critically and commercially successful. The game received positive reviews and sold well. The series was launched in 2004 by LucasArts with Star Wars: Battlefront, developed by Pandemic Studios for LucasArts. Players take the role of soldiers in either of two opposing armies in different time periods of the Star Wars universe. Star Wars: Battlefront is a series of first- and third-person shooter video games based on the Star Wars films.
