Familiar faces rejoin our hero as the journey continues…

The majority have gotten it right, IMO. They're talking about Han, Leia, Old Ben, possibly Chewy (either CC or a new one) Wedge. Maybe Biggs (but is he really a familiar face? No.) Lando is a possibility too, but he's more ROTJ and the CLS we're getting is from the beginning of ESB. Long shots are R2 & Raid Han. Highly doubtful but slightly possible are Lobot, HRSoldier, HRScout.

Biggs is his childhood friend, not wedge.

Biggs is dead when Luke becomes Commander. Wedge is alive through all 3 movies and is a "familiar" face. I put Biggs under maybe because he's a childhood friend and a "familiar" face to Luke, but when the Devs say familiar, I think it means to the majority of fans which is Han, Leia, Chewy, Old Ben, Wedge, Lando, R2.

I guess Old Ben will become a self fulfilling prophecy

I don't know about Old Ben tbh. It depends on when in the trilogy they're going to take you to "Commander Luke".

If it's after the Death Star, but before Hoth I can see Old Ben and St Han being necessary (which is going to suck because I don't have either....lol).

If it's Hoth, I don't think St Han, Old Ben, or Biggs make sense, as Old Ben and Biggs are dead, and St Han was only at the Death Star. I could see Leia, Wedge, R2, Raid Han, HR Scout and HR Soldier along with Farmboy Luke.

They already announced Hoth Han and Hoth Leia ... I am pretty sure this is what that is referring to.

Yup

I'm hoping that, given the number of familiar faces in E4-5 available in game, that the event simply restricts you to using those heroes and you can select from that pool to build your squad. This way you could use R2 and Raid Han if you have them, and people wouldn't be penalized for not farming a specific hero like stHan, old Ben, or Leia. Luke Skywalker would of course be the main exception. Most people should be able to put a squad of 5 together with Luke given all the Ep4-5 heroes (Ben, Leia, stHan, raid Han, R2, Biggs, Wedge, Yoda, Hoth Scout/Soldier, Lando? Lobot? Ughnaught? select Jawas?)

Thats for territory battles. The line is referencing lukes journey. They probably aren't what the "familiar faces" are referring to.

I am loving the speculation in this thread by the by.
