The problem with GLs is that they need to make us Relic up underused characters (e.g. Jawa and U'RoR'rrrr'rr'whatever for Jabba) or bring out new Marquee characters for the requirements to unlock them. These two factors make people spend.
For a GL Revan, we already have all the main characters from KotoR pretty much levelled high-ish because we needed them to unlock Revan, Darth Revan and Malak. So who's left to bring out as a Marquee or an underused character to make us spend getting to Relic? All of my Old Republic characters are already 7* and g12 or higher so it won't take much investment. And that's what a new GL needs to make it worth while for the game devs.

I think the best chance of a new GL - many months from now after Jabba - is a Rebel. And probably a version of Leia. You will need to Relic up the underused Rebels like Princess Leia, Farmboy Luke, Stormtrooper Han, Hoth Rebel Scout / Soldier, possibly even some of Phoenix (if Bad Batch can be justified for Lord Vader, Phoenix can be justified for Leia); and they'll bring out new Marquee charaters like Crix Madine, Bail Antilles and possibly someone like Orrimaarko or even ... Reva? As a a requirement for what helped make Leia a "Legend"? Very formative in her life story ... !

We do have 50R-T, which I don't imagine a ton of people having reliced. And we now have Malgus. Both are OR characters. Malgus alone would make GL Revan a grind, because his PG event won't be here for a year, and they'll probably make it super squad specific to beat (like Jawa or something) which would require building another team to unlock him. They could even add in some other OR characters like Darth Bane, Darth Zanna, Githany, Zayne Carrick, Jarael, Rohlan Dyre and Marn Heirogryph.

I'm a KoToR fan, so seeing more characters added is always a plus. And I'd go after a GL Revan for sure!
