Order 66

First off thank you for the flood of new information on the raid. 

So from a very good paying customer POV this still is outrageous. Releasing a raid that does miss an entire faction is a new low, even for you guys. Basically we will be missing out on a couple of boxes every raid for at least the first half year of the raid due to one entire team missing. Not everybody is a whale and even the whales wont all be whaling on a totally boring faction like pirates.

So there will be quite a big amount of points (and therefore rewards) missing for the race for last crate from the very get go. That is not very customer friendly to ALL customers, paying or not.  

Then a GL Pirate? I can see the necessity from a game balance point of view but looking at all the pirates in SW lore I dont see any pirate character being worthy of a GL Tag. My first hunch was Talon Karrde, but he technically is no pirate but a smuggler. So who might it be? A new Hondo? Likeable character but not GL worthy. Gorian Shard? Maz Kanata? Sidon Ithano? Lassa Rhayme? All more or less interesting characters with no GL potential. I hope you will give us at least a Pirate Han Solo GL. Then all would be forgiven.

Lastly: Why on earth are pirates a valid faction in an Order 66 themed raid? This is SO ridiculous. Like Hondo inviting all his pirate homies and be like: "Yarr, Anakin Skywalker is slaughtering Jedi and Padawans at the Jedi Temple. Not only the men, but the women and children, too. Must have something to do with him not being granted the rank of Master. Lets go save them and most certainly die trying to." This is SO not right lorewise and doesnt make any sense whatsoever. (Apart from monetizing ofc)

This feels totally forced and is a very sorry excuse for selling us the pirate faction. This is a disgrace to SW Lore and Canon. Shame on you. I have spoken! This is NOT the way.
