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.....

It’s pretty clear the fervent complaints are thinly veiled bigotry at this point.

Players mostly answer: "we already respect differences, the problem is you could have chosen hundreds of characters from the lore and instead you invented a new one".

why is that a problem tho

Why make it a problem?

Just accept it and move on

Sheesh, I really hope you never have a complaint about anything. Fortunately, if you ever do, I guess the solution is oh so simple. “Why make it a problem? Just accept it and move on.”

It’s a problem because it’s a problem. Inserting a fan fiction character into a galactic legend squad feels undeserved.

You know how CG made a point of saying “we don’t want you to have to break up your CLS squad for GL Leia”?

Know why? Because we like it when characters who are together in the story-telling are also together in their squads.

Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for that logic to apply to CLS but not GL Leia. Arguably, a galactic legend deserves better.

Everything you said afterwards is just one bad straw-man after another.

My favorite story telling moment was when Luke was escorted by Han, Chewie, Chewie, C3PO, and C3PO. Definitely a great on screen moment.

People are still complaining about a new SW character? Must be a slow time in their life.

I love how so many of you who claim to be for acceptance are simply saying that there's no validity to my argument if I disagree with you and I should just get over it.
If it was simply to have a character with physical disability, why not make him do something he'd physically be capable of doing? Like being an intelligence officer? The man would literally be perfect for that. Tactical genius, physically unassuming. There are plenty of real world examples of people that describes who ran highly successful espionage operations. Multiple pilots in star Wars have had specific adaptations for them, another good choice. Thrawn is a tactician; Thrawn is not an imperial trooper nor is he a combattant.
But no, let's make him a combattant who can't operate long arms, heavy weapons, most non modified vehicles, can't efficiently reload weapons, has a deficiency at hand to hand combat, and can't carry you to safety if you go down... you know, all of the things you do in a combat job.

This wouldn't even be a discussion if there was lore that went with him, but there isn't. Calling him a fan fiction character was pretty spot on.

I was in the military and never got any training with light sabers, laser pistols, or Jedi powers. Oh, right, because it's all made up stuff. Why do peoples suspension of disbelief stop with disabled soldiers? Space wizardry is fine but we draw the line here?

Well that's the military's fault for not preparing you better.

The animation team showed us that he’s perfectly able to do what his skills in-game tell us he’s able to do, which is: shooting with a blaster pistol, operating a remote turret, organizing stratagems with a datapad, being a second in command.
