I'm sure many whales will spend $300 per marque and then complain if he's not amazing.

Most likely all this will happen before the kit reveal. If you rush to buy the new shiny without knowledge, I have no sympathy when your disappointed. It has happened before with many similar releases. Most recently the bando journey. The character ended up being useful (definitely needed for executor fleet and a pretty good team under maul). But by the time they were useful, you could have him ftp easily.

Now without starkiller being a GL, I don't see how he'll be useful enough to drop enough $ or hoarded crystals in the most inefficient way possible (getting marque stars quickly). Gone are the days of a marque changing the arena meta.

Starkiller is obviously meant to be to LV what Malak was to DR. Wouldnt surprise me if he completely shuts down JMK, forcing people to panic farm LV and Maul. Not sure how many people are willing to spend 1200$ on him though, seems like a lot.

I thought maul was going to be the final piece to LV. You may be right btw. Or he may not synergize at all and people will just panic buy before the kit is released thinking he will.

Some ppl are assuming he was just a placeholder for a temporary fix.

Plus maul works miles better with Mandalorians, making them counter SEE, GAS & SE teams fairly easily with them.

There are two possibilities about how Starkiller could turn out:

Possibility 1 is that he significantly boosts LV teams, allowing them to become better than JMK, and forcing people to whale on LV, Maul, and Starkiller. This would most likely to force those who have JMK, but not LV, to whale on LV to stay in the top of arena.

Possibility 2 is that Starkiller is just a good character, but nothing meta-defining. This would most likely anger those who whaled on Starkiller and his requirements and expected him to be meta-defining.

We will see which possibility turns out to be true soon.

Depends on the tags. For him to help lv, he'd likely need the empire tag. I'm not sure that fits. The Sith tag would fit better lore wise. That would boost See which wouldn't be a bad thing since jmk really just destroys him after the nerf they did to him.

Unaligned force user would be enough to synergize with LV

There is also the possibility that this is a release meant to drain hoarded resources before the next GL release.

CG has often done that before. Release something that has moderate use in game right before a meta shift so people spend their hoard on it instead of keeping it for the new meta.

Now that sounds like a likely reason for these releases. Getting people to whale/spend their hoards on Starkiller and company, then releasing the new meta soon afterwards.

They should do as they did with Revan... 2 different toons, one light side and one dark side... And Starkiller is not as powerful as Revan, so he's not one of the most powerful things in StarWars as stated.

I love Revan and most of his pre SWTOR Arc, but i never understood why he is widely considered this powerful.
He is described as a tactical Genius, a quick Learner who really wants to master the Force in all its shapes. His greatest Strength is his abillity to create Force bondings. He is also described as not really believing in the dogmas of neither the sith or jedi. All cool Feats for a likeable character. But i never saw or read things like pulling a stardestroyer from the sky or something like that.

Darth Traya described Revan as looking at the force itself, so he had to be somewhat powerful

Or... it could be a snail telling a turtle he is fast.

Didn’t Traya plan to essentially “kill” the force? I think she was a bit more powerful than a snail is fast.

All relative is the point. Also if she planning to do something doesn't mean somebody is good at it. Hence why the force still exists. Also, she was defeated so obvi not super powerful in the scheme of things.

Also it's make believe, so fanboy away of to who is more powerful cause it doesn't matter anyway. The Star Wars saga is about the Skywalkers, all other characters exist because of them. Without them the force wouldn't exist, therefore the Skywalkers are the most powerful!

Empire would fit, asajj is a sep even though she’s just Dooku assassin

DS UFU would fit, it’s just like the Dooku situation except with Vader

I just think Sith fits since he's mainly Vader's apprentice and a major plot point of the game is him being used to potentially overthrow palpatine.

I'm also a fan of asajj having the Sith tag.

Empire just doesn't fit. He seems to be outside of the ranks of the empire.

And the unaligned force user tag is just garbage in my opinion. Too many characters that claim to be a jedi or Sith get it. I get that they need to split factions but saying that a jedi is unaligned is just garbage.

Cls for example was an apprentice to Yoda and learning the ways of the jedi. That isn't unaligned. And if you have to be a jedi knight to get the tag, then ashoka wouldn't have it.

The same would hold for starkiller. He was Vader's sith apprentice. That isn't unaligned.
