Could Saw Gerrera be the new Galactic Legend of holotables?

Although everything points to Maz Kanata being the new pirate Galactic Legend, we can't rule out seeing a new Saw Gerrera on the holotables (after all, he is legendary). Just as Enfys, leader of a rebel swoop gang, has the label of pirate, Saw could also. We saw in Andor how the ISB discussed piracy on Segra Milo, only to see Luthen head there and meet him and his partisans. The color pattern of their ships resembles the pirate pattern and helps them hide their actions within the framework of piracy rather than as a rebel cell. There is also not much difference between what Enfys and the Cloud Riders did with Saw and his Cavern Angels. So, just as rebellions are based on hope, I have hope in seeing Saw as a new Galactic Legend. Remember how the rebels in Rogue One, upon entering Scarif, were crestfallen until Jyn spoke up to paraphrase Saw, and the rebels' dull expressions disappeared and became expectant and hopeful. What do you think? Do you think it's possible? Or is there another legendary pirate who's slipping under the radar?

(This would open the possibility of at least three new ships, Two Tubes X-Wing, YV-865 Aurore-Class Freighter and Saw`s U-Wing in addition to those we have seen in Skeleton Crew)

    The pirate faction can bring two more potential Ugnaughts to the Holotables. So it can also bring back the unfairly eliminated Ugnaught faction. That's good! The truth is that there are many other possible Galactic Legends before a pirate (no one can guess for sure who it will be?). And yes, Maz Kanata is the queen of the pirates and all, but she doesn't really have enough lore to be a Galactic Legend... maybe I'm wrong, but in my opinion, Saw would deserve it long before her. Besides, Saw already has a "wooden leg" and a cane like a real pirate... The Saw we saw in Rogue One lol

    Maul is more of a crime lord like Jabba, he deals with pirates but he is much more in my opinion

    Schwartzring explains in his answer why Maz Kanata should be the new Galactic Legend.

    Yeah, Maul is more of a crime lord. Speaking of Crimson Down, perhaps a possible pirate would be Tobias Beckett, though I doubt he's a Galactic Legend... Young Solo and Chewie should also have the pirate label... there are many who could have it and haven't received it. It'll definitely be a surprise on CG's part. I think it's the first time that everyone isn't completely sure who it will be.

  • I'm of the opinion that ....

    1.  We didn't need a Pirates faction.     But whatever, a single team wouldn't kill us.

    2.  We absolutely did NOT need a Pirate GL.

    3.  IF we are forced into a Pirate GL, and, based on the announcement, we are, THEN, well,  Maz Kanata is the ONLY one that I would be happy about or deserves a GL level character.   
    Every other option I've seen discussed anywhere isn't a character I'd want to see or believe is "GL" quality.
    But, 1000+ year old "QUEEN of the Pirates".   Well, that I could at least get behind.


  • Everything points to Maz Kanata? What is this everything that points to her? Lol

    I guess it's possible. I think more likely than not, it'll either be another version of Hondo (like the Rebels era Hondo), Maz Kanata, or Gorian Shard. I know someone else also mentioned that Maul (Crimson Dawn) could be a possibility too, but I doubt that one, seeing as Crimson Dawn is more of a crime syndicate, which I guess is similar to a "pirate-esque" faction, but there's some stark differences in my opinion. In that case, then the Hutt Cartel, Black Sun, the Pykes, Crymorah Syndicate, Ashiga Clan, Zerek Besh, Guavian Death Gang, etc. would also be included and I highly doubt they'll consider doing that either. But who knows. With CG, they'll make anything work I guess.
