Yea exactly what everyone wants. Horrible characters from TLJ. Barf.

No one said everyone but no one said no one.

Basically, speak for yourself. I want two more Res characters for my two Res teams.

Also I'd like Snoke and Hux.

Hux? Seriously? The emo Ron Weasley that was the laughing stock of the last movie? Yea he was such a badass character.

Ok, your dislike is noted. Thanks.

Some kind of justification for Hux would be interesting - I just don't see anything there that would be desirable to have as a toon, but maybe I'm missing something. Is he already desirable in a joke-like way similar to how many would want Jar Jar? He's almost like they took Dark Helmet's character from Space Balls and actually put it in a SW movie. That's what I get from the character, but what are you finding appealing? Not trying to debate, but just genuinely intrigued to hear a different view.

I like Hux as well. I believe he is way more than what meets the eye. If you put TLJ in context with Rian‘s other works, and the subtle (or rather slapped in your face, which for whatever reason a lot people didn‘t get but took as presented) message of the film, it is clear what I am aiming at.
Additionally, did you realize for example, that when when Snoke talks about

Spoiler

the benefits of keeping a rabid cur at his side. He is not talking about Hux? During the hunting he has proven to be -whether it makes much sense- be more of a tactician as well. Thinking things through. Instead of simply sending Tie squadrons in and loosing people, he tried to minimize losses.
Even Snoke, after initially wanting to punish him for loosing the artillery dreadnought kind of praised him and approved his tactic.
After Snoke‘s demise, he points his weapon at Kylo and decides not to shoot him. His „rival“...
When Kylo wants to fight Luke, he is the one trying to hold back the rabid cur and is being force thrown into the wall.
Hux is a good and reasonable commander, who seems to take risks when necessary and avoids them, when necessary.
At least that‘s my impression of him, although he got included in comical scenes on purpose to make us believe he‘s a clown.
Remember we have been told MANY times in the movie and the movie‘s messages, that not everything is as it seems and that there are deception, manipulation and diversions everywhere throughout the film!

So, looking at him from TFA and TLJ standpoint, I like Hux and want him as well. First and foremost as capital ship commander of a resurgent-class star destroyer. He makes most sense as a fleetcommander as he in fact IS in both movies and I ponder what kind of toon he‘d get. I can actually imagine a R2 like support toon with buffs for FO-teams. Inspirational speeches as cherry on top XD
