Battlefront > Battlefront II
Using a Jedi completely screws up the balance of the game. It doesn't even feel the same since you aren't playing as a soldier/clone. I agree. It screws up the focus of the game, rather than coordinating an effective infantry assault, the dominant strategy seems to be racing to get your hero unit first and then proceding to dominate everyone else with your (usually) overpowered killing guy.
Eventually the heros from both sides would meet and duel. Whichever side wins that encounter has a huge advantage over the other team, turning the game into a boring binary battle.
They should either make it so that heros are weaker (Less Jedi, more Boba Fett like champions that are superior to standard soldiers but don't completely overwhelm everyone), or if they want the focus of the game to be on controlling powerful heros, giving everyone the option to spawn as a hero and balancing the game around that notion makes more sense.
It's like playing League of Legends where the default unit you control are the minions, and you are trying to get enough kills to unlock the chance to play as a champion... why not cut the bullcrap and start everyone off as champions?
