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.....

That's not true. Luke Skywalker did exist. Only he existed a long time ago, in a galaxy far away.

So wut teh problem?
He's CG's original, and so what?
Ppl havnt played KotOR dont know who revan is, ppl dont read the comics have no idea who is Dr.Aphra.
So just treat him as a character in the universe long time ago and you dont know.

To all the people who complain about CG making a third new character, do you have an issue with new characters in the SW movies? Comics? or other media? I like some of the new characters in the Ahsoka show, liked a few in Andor as well. Why do they get a pass but not this game?

I know this is really really hard to do but just for one second, only one second, consider that maybe this character was designed for someone other than you. Maybe there's a 9 year playing this game that has a limb difference and this character will make them happy because there's now a hero they can truly relate to.

Just consider that when you're trashing CG for making a character that may have even a slim chance of making someone feel better about themselves.

This 100%. I posted about this in the kit release thread, seems like a positive thing to me. If you don't like his backstory- ignore it. Relic the toon for GL Leia and then ignore him if you don't like him. As someone else posted, this isn't the last character to be introduced. There will always be someone upset when they introduce "X" character instead of "Y" character

Because they missed a chance to bring someones favorite character in a bikini into the game

Limb difference? That's so ridiculous. Guess what? They don't put disabled people on the front lines unless they're down to nobody. There are a ton of EU characters and movie characters that can be used, but I guess weirdos need to "see themselves" to be happy. Keep marketing to the lowest percentage of the fan base.

Geez, troll much? You do realize this is a fictional game, and not an actual military engagement, right? And even if it were, are you in command of armed forces that you would have that information? Why are they "weirdos"? because they were born different than you? Go back to the Dark Ages with your bigotry and ignorance

Wow.. these comments about “woke” agendas and bashing the character for having a limb difference are ridiculous and pathetic. Ideological brain washing and cognitive dissonance are real, folks…

The only issues I have are that the art looks pretty meh in the face (something about it just looks like a mannequin to me, lol), and the animations look like they take FOREVER (seriously 8x when??).

Imagine being pressed about a fictional character in a mobile game. ?
