The patch notes for tomorrow’s Battlefront patch are up and include more than just a fix for Lando.

These two notes regarding Lando are certainly the highlight of the patch notes:

Will no longer be damaged from his Power Blast Explosion

Power Blast now goes on cooldown properly after deactivation

However, plenty more is getting fixed in Battlefront. Other highlights include:

Changes to modes

Walker Assault will get a slew of changes, the biggest of which is “adjusted AT-AT health across all maps.”
Infiltration’s playable area during the opening stage will be adjusted. Hopefully this’ll fix an exploit with the U-Wing.
Heroes vs Villains will now only play one match per map.

Sonic Imploder, TIE Striker buffs

The Sonic Imploder will see an increased blast radius from two meters to four. Its explosion damage will also increase slightly, from 90 to 100.
The TIE Striker also gets an increase in explosion damage, from five to 10. Its projectile speed will also increase from 800 to 1000 meters/second.

Hero tweaks

“Most stuns will be prevented for 2 seconds after a Hero has been stunned once. This doesn’t apply to specific stuns like Force Choke and Force Push.”
Darth Vader will be able to use his Saber Throw and Heavy Strike while Force Choking. His trait will also no longer affect enemies.
Leia’s Trooper Bane will be able to defeat enemy infantry buffed by bacta.
Krennic’s Armor Breaker shot will have reduced homing abilities.
Other hero changes include nerfs to Bossk, tweaks to Chewbacca and Luke, and buffs to Jyn, Greedo and Boba Fett.
Glitches regarding trait bonuses for Vader, Leia and Krennic will be fixed.
