Agreed it takes time, but what other RoS stuff could they be working on? They've released 8-9 toons/ships. Seems unlikely any more is coming.

They've released three characters from RoS. What are these 8-9 you're talking about?

The mentioned no more than 10 new resistance and FO toons before. There's been the marquees of hux and sith trooper, the marquee ships. The two galactic legends, and the other new toons we recently have gotten.

I don't understand how business works. Can anyone tell me how it is that The Mandalorian is so popular and devs will not add any content related to this series? Wouldn't that be profitable? And wouldn't it make players happy?

*facepalm*

Veil of secrecy is a huge deal around The Mandalorian, to the point where Disney refused to have the toy line ready in time for Christmas to preserve reveals like Baby Yoda. Even once the content is out, anything Mandalorian related has to go through a development cycle of a couple months.

The reason CG can release relevant content around movie releases is because developers get a prerelease packet to work from and a movie is a singular event released fully in a single day. Part of the reason we have Bistan and Pao who were only in a couple frames of Rogue One is because the prerelease information was from an earlier version of the movie in which they featured more prominently and Rogue One went through extensive post-production alteration that almost completely removed them.

The Mandalorian is a TV series. The first season is not released yet and is coming out over a period of months. The main character is gaining new tools and cosmetics over the course of the series. CG will not have the information to make informed content from The Mandalorian until the finale of the first season drops.

They aren't refusing to release Mandalorian content. They literally can't do so competently yet.

Did I miss something? What marquee ships from EP9?

Um, no, they've released three new characters from Ep 9: Finn, Hux, and New Sith Trooper. There have been no ships, and new!Rey and new!Kylo have only been announced, not released. Generously, that's five, counting unreleased characters.

There have been no new ships since Hyena/BTL/Malevolence, all clone wars era.
