So it has been datamined we are getting another mando and bo katan. Pumped for Bo, but my goodness do we really need another mando? This is getting out of hand...What are other's thoughts on this?

I don't think so. Mando is really popular, but giving us three different versions of him in the span of a calendar year just seems really heavy-handed. Plus we haven't even seen Din wield the darksaber yet, so I don't know what CG would be basing the abilities of a darksaber Mando on.If we are getting a darksaber Mando, I'd probably be expecting it after season 3 comes and we find out where the storyline is actually going. My (not very educated) guess is that we're going to get Grogu back in the same update as a Bo-Katan marquee or other type of event.

Beskar Spear Mando seems more reasonable than Darksaber Mando. That or maybe "Krait Reflux Mando"? Either way, it does seem like it's a bit too much too soon....

Looks like a 3rd has been datamined.A third hasn't been datamined.

There is nothing at the SWGOH events discord server where all the datamines usually show up.But he's seen an Arhnald video about it so it must be true.....

The Old Republic is far from dry...

Sure but they sticked with it for so long that everyone got sick of it.

Speak for yourself. For example Mandalore the Preserver would fit right in now.

Right now, yeah. But not after 14 characters, 2 legendaries, 1 epic confrontation and a raid. You might like Old Republic era a lot but there are other very interesting periods in Star Wars universe. We shouldn't stick to one and call it a day. This game is called "Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes" not "SW: Old Republic" or "SW: The Mandalorian".

I do think there is a lot more Old Republic content out there that CG could explore, but I broadly agree with your point. One of the frustrations that I have with this game is the rigid "era exploring", where they spend months at a time only releasing content on eras like Clone Wars, OT, Old Republic. I think it would be nice if they also sprinkled in some random characters that aren't really building up to anything, so that we can get some of the bigger players in the franchise who are still missing in the game but probably don't warrant months of releases (ie. Jar Jar, Saw Gerrera, Bail Organa, Tobias Beckett, the Exile, Cal Kestis, Iden Versio etc). People can disagree on whether those specific characters should be introduced but that's just some ones I'd like to see off the top of my head. Galaxy of Heroes should feel like a galaxy, not just different versions of the same characters over and over and over again.

What are other's thoughts on this?

Han Solo says, "Hold my beer"....

Han Solo
Trooper Han
Hoth Han
Young Han
Vet Han
Bespin Han (exists in events)
-------------
Endor Han (how they've missed this, I don't know)

What's the 3rd mando? Helmetless? But, sheesh, talk about going to the well too much too quick...

Haha ya Han and even Chewie are plenty represented, but they earned it. Dude gets through 2 seasons and has 2 versions of himself (though I'm totally cool with the 2 models, they are both needed with the tory).

More likely to get an epic confrontation mando than gl mando. As people state no dark side equivalent.

But for epic confrontation could be split into 2 portions like malak.

First being imperial remnant
Moff gideon
Storm
Dark
Death
Scout?

Second being something along the lines of
Beskar mando
Armorer
Bo katan
Vet boba?
Fennic?

Whatever the case I think they need to flesh out other characters and factions before another mando comes out.

The thing is though, they stick to eras for a time to theme the game. So we had the Old Republic Era, then Bounty Hunters got some love, then Clone Wars, now Mando. They will get too a new Era soon.

I still think a third Mando this quick is a bit overkill right now. Bo-Katan is a welcome addition for sure though.

The new app icon has theories running wild, Maul could be the one that has it. Time will tell.
