I've seen hints, hints and speculation, that February will have something exciting to a large portion of the players: Revan. I'd love it if it were true, but I'm thinking if it's related to Revan at a...
I don't think they would go this way, given his past injuries and stuff. Just imagine Snoke trying to exactly replicate his scars on each clone... But Sith lords of old are known to survive as force ghosts or bind their essence to holocrons (although I am not sure if it is canon now), so he could do something similar. It would also nicely fit into the mirror opposites theme of the new trilogy, as luke will likely come back as a force ghost too.
So, do we not Need spoiler brackets anymore when talking about TLJ? Well, for now I will keep using them, regarding Snoke:
Rewatch TFA and TLJ. Note the differences in thrones and Snoke‘s scars. Throne is completely different and scars are less deep prevent disappeared in TLJ. And the throne is a completely different one. Either they screwed up really BAD, as it is not just plain movie mistakes it is way too apparent, or it was done on purpose. ->Johnson‘s TLJ was all about deception and believing what you‘ve seen. For us as well as the protagonists. Realized it right away in the cinema, while e.g. I didn‘t note Luke not leaving footprints on Crait -although I knew something was going on. Similar to Luke, no one ever touched Snoke, nor did Snoke touch Rey. He stopped right before it, you could see the shadow. If they really killed him, which doesn’t even make for a great plot device, their (I don‘t know what the department is called) didn‘t check for such errors at all, especially as I don‘t believe they didn’t receive sculpts and/or footage, digital and physical to model TLJ‘s Snoke. It‘s too grave an error to not see it...

I have absolutely no clue, but for example we had the Fantastic 4 and Spider Man issue in the Marvel CU. Could be law issues here as well? Next, I think there are other characters and eras that could be explored.
There are no “rights” issues with SWGOH like the MCU involved. EA is the owner of The Old Republic which is why we have the characters from that game that we do, Jedi Consular, Sith Trooper, Darth Nihilus... all made up by EA. They could have inserted any of the KOTOR or TOR MMO into the game at any time, but they are choosing not to. The fact that some of those made up toons are stronger than Emperor Palatine should tell you something. So the only thing holding back development of new toons is the EA/CG crew which is most likely driven by in game “balance”.
As far as Marvel MCU vs Fox vs Sony, Sony has rights to Spider-man and he appeared in Civil War because it was in Sony’s interest to partner with Disney. Same reason Ironman was in the Spider-man movie.
Disney just got all rights from Fox to return X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool to the Marvel MCU with the acquisition they just got. This made a lot of people happy, because Stan Lee now has direct control again. Sony will continue to make Spider-man stand alones for now and Spider-man will continue to appear in future Avengers movies. You will never see another mutant movie or TV show released by Fox.
Thanks for clearing that up, regarding the MCU. Yet, I thought Palpatine was the strongest Sith regarding force usuage? In the EU he covered a whole planet, or was it even a system In force lightning? He also created Anakin, out of the force, incubating that kid in Shmi Skywalker? I assume both are not really regarded as being canon anymore, are they? And again I thought characters like Nihilus have been established in Star Wars lore without any KOTOR etc influences?
(Don’t get me wrong, it is ignorance on my part. I read many online articles about SW lore, but I haven‘t read any books or played games like KOTOR; and even before... have those game character‘s been regarded as canon?)
