Awkward JKL synergies = More characters soon?

Giving CG the benefit of the doubt, the fact that JKL has no Rebel tag, no synergies that make much sense relative to the character era, and is excluded from teams with Old Republic Jedi makes me think that this could be the start of a wave of new characters coming in.

Almost all big character events are preceded by appetizer characters first, which are then used to unlock the main course, as it were. Maybe this time around they're starting with JKL to then add a very specific team setup later on? RotJ Han and Leia would be the most obvious additions. General Lando too perhaps? Maybe some character reworks to accommodate JKL for Chewie, 3PO, and R2 as well?

I had the same thought this morning. Given the relative difficulty of obtaining the Galactic Legends characters compared to this new character and the importance of Jedi Knight Luke to the Star Wars universe, I can’t help but believe this is not his ‘final form’ (and does not herald the end of this game).

This kit feels different than others previously introduced, and I can’t help but wonder if the developers did get their coding updates complete. If so, as you said, this could be the first in a long series of new characters with new options (rather than the end). I still think there will be a Galactic Legend Luke Skywalker, which may be hinted at in the developers post when they say that his ‘journey continues’ rather than his ‘journey ending’.
