Last June 22, "Star Wars Battlefront" players with season passes were able to enjoy the Bespin, the latest downloadable content (DLC) for the "Battlefront" reboot.

To those who may not be familiar with the world of Bespin in the "Star Wars" universe, it is otherwise known as Cloud City, the gaseous planet where viewers got to meet the dashing smuggler, Lando Calrissian for the first time. It's the same planet where Luke and Vader had their epic lightsaber duel (where Luke's hand got chopped off) and where Han Solo was frozen in carbonite before uttering one of the most iconic lines in movie history.

With over five new multiplayer maps, players will get a chance to roam the streets of Bespin and experience the iconic locations first-hand. From the stunning white corridors, to the eerie orange lighting of the carbon-freezing chamber, the Bespin DLC is as nostalgic as it is visually eye-popping.

GameRant reports that the DLC also presents players with two new heroes at their disposal. The rebels get to use Lando on their side, while the Empire gets cold-blooded bounty hunter Dengar in their ranks.

A new gameplay mode has also been introduced with "Sabotage," in which the Empire has tractor beams placed in key points of the area, preventing rebel ships from escaping the planet. According to Forbes, the new mode in the game is actually pretty engaging, however it doesn't offer up any review.  

Along with that, two new blasters have been revealed, as well as a new vehicle (Bespin's Cloud Car) and three new Star cards — Scout Binoculars, Shock Grenades, and Disruption â€” all added to give a little more spice to the gameplay.

Players can purchase the game on EA's official "Battlefront" website here. For the players who opt to wait for the DLC to be bought a la carte, its official release is on July 5.
