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 of cut scenes and some Kitty pool depth is definitely called for.

For generic filler it's (bordeline) acceptible but in this case inappropriate when they could have used Old Ben, Princess Leia, Captain Han, Farmboy Luke etc etc. If they wanted a new unit for a cash cow why not give us Bail Organa or someone else already in canon?(Resistance) General Leia Organa should have been the GL anyway

And there it is. Behold! The worst take.No thanks!"lucaefor;c-2434830" wrote:(Resistance) General Leia Organa should have been the GL anyway

You don't need to quote the OP. I'm not asking them to make sure they give thought to the lore because they've done such a bang up job so far. It would be cool to see a character from SWGOH crossing over into movies/shows.

I don't have her geared up, most people don't. I never see youtube videos or threads talking about how amazing she is, and I certainly don't see anyone saying anything else about her. However she isn't replacing anyone, no major plot arcs or stories have been influenced by her existence.Were there soldiers off screen in the battle of endor? Absolutely. So why are none of the ones we know exist and that some of us, especially in regards to one of my favorites, Crix Madine, shown and instead replaced?This has all the marks of what we in the military call, the good idea fairy. It's when someone with no useful or worthwhile ideas decides he's going to shove his own idea down the throats of everyone else simply because he can, regardless of whether it's bad or even just worthless. Drogan is the epitomy of the good idea fairy.RIP Crix Madine, Nien Nunb, every Bothan Spy, Nik Sant....and every other character that already exists and actually matters. And that's just the folks I remember were a part of the story.But hey, whoever decided to make drogan, at least there's something in star Wars that you can say you made.....

I quite like that they are creating new characters. Plenty of excitment within this game when Kotor characters or Jedi fallen order characters get added.

In years to come if one of these get introduced into a show or other game, I'm instantly going to be more connected to them.

This is a big star wars game and it should back itself in the wider lore.

If I was with CG I would love to create my own SW character and put it in this game. Don’t see why anyone has an issue with new characters. Do those same people get mad at the new characters in the new SW movies and tv shows?

I agree, seems like a non issue to me. Much more concerned about things like buggy releases and QoL issues that need to be addressed.

The characters they’ve created have generally been pretty good. Not world beaters, but definitely high utility units in the game.

Yes, yes they do.

Creating new character for game is fine
After all Star Wars is a tiny universe with few characters so it is hard to find original characters to add to the game. Just look at latest additions: second Cal, second Rex, second Gideon, sixs Leia... This poor universe is run out of characters already. So why not to borrow one from Space Marines... sorry, I meant why not to create brand new one. After all rebels is very tiny and unpopular faction with few know characters in it... and it is anywhey better then tenth Han...

If only someone would write some comics, books, video games or series about it maybe we could get a few more characters that still aren't in the game.

If only this wasn’t the last unit introduced to the game.

What does one thing have to do with the others? People can dislike non-star wars toons and buggy releases at the same time. People disliking non-SW toons doesn't prevent CG from fixing bugs.

How many people commenting here have an upgraded Colonel Starck ? just saying did it matter then ?

Not quite the same IMO. Were there other named characters (who spoke in ESB) they could have used instead of Starck? Might be wrong, but afaik Veers was the only such other prominent walker driver during Hoth.

Conversely, Crix Madine is on screen, has lines, and is named during the build up to Endor. My annoyance (it’s no more than that really and I’ll get over myself once I need him for Leia) is that they’ve created a character from scratch when there’s already a great character in the lore, who was also a part of the EU too (Darksaber anyone?), to build from. If they had literally named the character Madine rather than Drogan it would be no problem for me. YMMV

(Resistance) General Leia Organa should have been the GL anyway

Or if they wanted a new character, Stormtrooper Luke, Endor Luke, Endor Soldier, Rebel Captain.
