I thought we would end up flying inside of it to destroy it. And I don't know if it happened to you but I felt like it glitched at the end. A bunch of us got to that room with Tie Fighters on the ceiling but nothing happened for a couple minutes and we couldn't go anywhere else then finally everyone randomly started dying then the next thing I knew a cutscene was playing where we were all falling from the sky.
I've been finding myself getting toasted a lot sooner too. Seems to be a lot more sweaty tryhards playing than before.
