Captain Drogan
I don't have any issue with CG creating a character from thin air, just as long as they add to the lore. He's not a main character, but him just "being there" on Endor would be pretty lame. A couple o...

So his limb difference is a missing finger (not his thumb) on his right hand that holds the keypad he punches commands into for the flamethrower. He fires his blaster with his left hand.
You’re all acting as if his limb difference makes him incapable of functioning in any meaningful way on the “front lines.” This is the exact opposite intent of cg when creating the character. The point of the character is he is still capable of being a valuable fighter despite missing a finger and presumably, though not stated, having a weaker right arm.
I assume your statement is based on years of your own years of military experience and multiple deployments right? Because if it's not, believe me, you won't won't win that. This winter I'll have spent 38 months deployed. No, having a weaker arm you can't be a part of any military team, same problem I have with echo, because guess what, when someone goes down, if you can't carry them, you're worse than useless. It is never acceptable to be the weakest link in any military capacity. If he's a rebel fighter and a captain, it means he got given that rank, goes back to my initial post. He could never have possibly earned it through military operations doing a combattant job.
It's almost like the rebellion isn't some state sanctioned military with nearly limitless resources where it can turn away people for any reason, but is instead a fledgling operation, desperate for people willing to help and welcome to everyone. And, when given a chance, a person with a congenital difference was able to participate and offer meaningful contributions to the cause.
if he is such an expert tactician, why would he be risked on the front lines, especially with a weaker arm. he should be, like i said, working an equally important job in the customer service area of home one.
Because you probably want a tactician on the front lines with direct access to all of the data in case communications get jammed and you can't contact a tactician elsewhere? The mission was do or die, they needed talented individuals on the ground to increase the odds.
I have no clue why any of this is contentious. Some of you are throwing an absolute fit for no reason.
