Character Creation: Ezra Bridger

We, like many of you, are waiting for Star Wars Rebels characters to be introduced into the game, especially after the previews of the new season at SWCelebration. The focus seems to be on the Rogue One characters for the next release of characters, but we didn't want to sit idly by. We are starting to put together Star Wars Rebel characters for SWGOH and trying to keep them balanced within the context of the game.

What do you think of the abilities? @Rangerj1999 and myself ( @Finity ) tried our best to make the character realistic, and we are also working on synergies for the first character, Ezra Bridger, with the rest of the Ghost Crewman. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

    Sorry but...no. If i go down the street...and ask the first stranger i met: Do you know who's Darth Vader?
    He's probably gonna say yes
    Do you know who's Ezra...?
    Ez...what?

    Third ability should be "Rub the Lamp" and buffs your team with all buffs and debuffs enemy team with all debuffs. Then a magic carpet comes flying in.

    J/K I love SW:Rebels

    I'm not arguing that Vader is more known, but you are picking the biggest character in the Star Wars Universe (except maybe Luke). Your point about Ezra would also apply to asking a stranger on the street:
    Do you know who Poggle the Lesser is?
    Do you know who Talia is?
    Can you pick URoRRuR'R'R from a line up of tuskens?
    I am sure the response would be "Who is Urr... rrr.. what?"

    While I understand the point you are making, we are well beyond the point where the game is focusing on ONLY characters that the general public knows, and to think otherwise is naive. Mainstream Star Wars and what the general random person knows are 2 different things.

    Assuming that by "main stream" you mean the seven films: For what reason would you ignore a vast chunk of lore?


    I would not consider a niche cable TV series a "vast chunk" - sorry. While I understand the sentiment from the hard core fans, this would hardly be a good direction. Sure, throw them a bone every now and then, but the more casual fan (and even Star Wars fans who simply don't watch a cartoon series) aren't going to drop big money on characters they've never heard of.

    What about B2 and Rex? B2 is a generic droid no one really knows, and Rex is from another TV show, Clone Wars. Those 2 characters undermine your argument. New players will spend money in order to amass a lot of characters and catch up. Older players will pay money based on abilities and trying to keep their collection full. The niche market is actually the player that spends to accumulate a p2p character for vanity purposes.
