• Luggabeast Munitioneer – Players can hire the armored Luggabeast Munitioneer, based on the cybernetic-enhanced beast of burden in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, to support their massive armies as they apply a damage buff to nearby friendly units.
• Dowutin Hunter – Inspired by a new species unveiled in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Dowutin Hunters are lumbering infantry hired to dispatch enemy defending units with shock and awe, troops and vehicles alike. They carry a grip of thermal detonators and a modified starfighter blaster to ensure that the job gets done
• Planet Takodana – Featuring Maz's Castle, the planet Takodana is the home to many unaligned scoundrels and provides the perfect setting for new Conflicts in Star Wars: Commander.

Commander launched in August 2014 and has now reached more than 20 million downloads. Disney has regularly supported the game with new content, including new storylines and even zombies.

It's not the only game that's getting Force Awakens-inspired content, as the Battle of Jakku DLC started its rollout this week for EA's Star Wars Battlefront.

The Force Awakens comes to theaters on December 18.
