Although there were a few flaws in the advertising, and a few other things, this game was still a best seller- and had good reason to be. The physics aren't real, and the plot differs slightly from the official Star Wars story. Small wrongs that can be completely forgotten because of everything else that was done right.
This game had it's flaws, but is fun to play anyways. It is agreed by most to not be the best shooter game, but is the best for all Star Sars fans- a fair trade-off. And if the the first Star Wars Battlefront wasn't quite authentic enough, almost all problems were fixed in Star Wars Battlefront II. At the end of the day, this game rocks.

My Conclusion
After my unusually fun research and questioning, I believe that I have answered my original questions.
1.)Do the trailers show aspects of the game that do not exist?
Yes, they do. There are a few places and vehicles shown in the ad that are not in the final product. Although this is (very slightly) misleading to the gamer, it does give up some credibility and accuracy of the game to itself.
2.)How does the game differ from actual physics?
It does in a way that is not very noticeable for the gamer, but is highly unrealistic. The gravity would not be the same on all of the planets that have varying sizes, which would be not following the laws of gravity- one of the only set of laws that literally cannot be broken.
3.)Would war be fought that way?
No, it wouldn't. The whole war would be fought by missile strikes. There would be little need for ground troops. However, I'm very glad they weren't logically accurate, because it would completely ruin the movies and games.
I think that lucas arts did a very good job making this video game- it isn't flawless, but then again I don't think anything is. The game is definitely worth playing.

Secondary Research- Game Physics
To measure the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.8 meter per second squared here on earth, we took the height of a clone trooper (1.83 meters) and found a ledge that was two and a half clones high. We then measured how long it took to fall to the ground several times and recorded the average time, which was 0.68 seconds where on earth it would be 0.46 seconds. Using that information we calculated that they accelerated at 6.2 meters per second squared. We know that the planets might have slightly different gravities due to the planet size, however we tested it on other planets and got the same results, meaning that Lucas arts made a uniform gravity for planets of varying sizes, contradicting the laws of gravity.
