EA is making adjustments to its yet-to-be-released "Star Wars" title following online backlash disparaging high in-game costs.

The uproar centered on in-game purchases in "Battlefront II" that allow players to save time by paying to "unlock" characters like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. (The traditional method of unlocking a character is to play for a certain number of hours — which users also found unreasonable.)
