Any chance for Mara Jade and other EU characters?

We've already got Nihilus, so it seems like branching out lore-wise isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. Mara Jade would give an opportunity to bolster to lackluster DS squads (I was thinking big synergy with Emperor, assassin-type character with stealth, big criticals, "reconnoiter" to remove buffs/add expose, protection regen with assassination kill, and does more damage/tags luke with deathmark if emperor is dead).
Some other good EU characters might be Talon Karrde, Noghri, Joruus C'Baoth, Kyp Durron, Kyle Katarn, Admiral Daala. Some of those provide good opportunities for either LS or DS characters (Noghri maybe good with Vader OR Leia...). Just a thought.

    Why not just post it here or on its own thread in Feedback:Characters? I'd like to see it.
  • BTW: It's been a long time since I read any books with the Noghri or Joruus or Kyp (I can't say I even remember Kyle, though there are lots of SW books I haven't read). Nonetheless, I think there are some good characters in there. The Noghri come across more as weapons than characters in the books (you don't learn a lot about what they think or feel, so in that sense Noghri don't matter as people as much as they matter as combatants and how their combat capabilities affect the plot), but they were very, very interesting weapons and could make good SW:GoH characters, since the game doesn't rely a lot on characterization.

    Interestingly, while my memory of the Noghri is old and faded, and possibly inaccurate in any number of ways, when I first saw Bistan I thought of the Noghri ... I could see the art for the Noghri resembling Bistan in certain ways.
