Galactic War Report – New Character Unveiled!

I am pretty sure that CG has other surprises for us on the 25th so we will have to wait and see :smile: so I would hold on to your complaining and lower your pitchforks and see what the update will bring first in its entirety before whining :wink:

This reminds me of a while back when people kept whining that they only added Warcraft assassins in Hots. :lol: Honestly I think that fans don't really know what they want and they will hate on anything that's popular at the moment like a bunch of hipsters.

Well is a good thing you know what we want for us.

I don't know what you guys want, you guys are horribly inconsistent and request characters from all over so it's kinda hard to know which characters you guys really want

The fact that we request charecters from all over should tell you what we want. Is diversity, variation.

Honestly, as much as I like Ahsoka I can say, that for the first time since I started to play this game since day one I am severely disappointed by a character release/announcement... I was really hoping for Thrawn, as much as I sympathize with the Rebels as a group...

2 months ago you said that in the next month the Empire will rise (I'm paraphrasing here) and 2 months later the only new Empire heroes we have are Gar Saxon and the Imperial Super Commando? Really!? Are they really the most memorable and prominent Empire characters that we have seen in Rebels? Not Thrawn, not Kallus, not Governor Pryce, not The Grand Inquisitor but Gar Saxon and the Commando? Sure the Veers, Troopers and Tarkin reworks are great and long overdue but not exactly game changing or even as exciting for the Empire...

And another thing....I guess we can all come to terms now that we will never see Jedi Luke in this game....If you don't use the month of May in the year of the 40-th anniversary of Star Wars to introduce him to the game in my mind it's pretty much a guarantee that we won't see him at all. Well what the hell...He's not that important of a character anyway. :)

Fan favorite? Maybe with a small subset who watch the cartoon.

I hope they require 7* Phoenix to unlock her.

She's been in 2 now. IIRC, she's big enough to have her own book.

I love Ahsoka. But isn't May 2017 called Empire Month?

It still is empire month. I am liking the free veers shards from the daily login and I might gear up tarkin after the rework.

Wow, this thread becomes a pain in the booty to read.

Wild assumptions of who has and has not to be any- and everyones favorite character and/or medium. My impression is that most posters have a very limited perspective on the franchise and hate everything, that they have no knowledge of.
Reading books ist good for you. And I does indeed not hurt to pull ones head out of the own rear and realize that something is not only for kids, just because it is animated.

I read the Thrawn books and many others. I love the Rebels series and the Phoenix Squad and will use them ingame as I did for the last weeks successfully each day in GW with not having one not completed till then. Oh and I am 35 and my boy is still too young to watch SW with me.

Yes, I hoped for Thrawn, my favorite character. Or for Callus. But I'll get another of my well liked characters.

Everyone has their favorite, so let them be. And I think pointing those things out like:

- too many Rebels
- too many unused factions
- lack of gungan faction (this is the point where you lose your temper ;-))
- hard meta that is not diverse and can be boiled down to 3-5 characters
- to few rock/paper/turbolaser interactions

in a constructive and persistant way is endlessly more useful and mature than whining and spitting like a defiant five year old.

Can we do that? Or at least try? Pretty please?

I wish Tarkin's rework included a special that added a 1 turn buff to his team that made any debuff cast by them non-dispellable.

@Pandiano I super love that was your first post.

What kind of event ?

Almost certainly a similar event to what CG has been doing for every new toon besides R2. Fight some easy battles, unlock at 3 stars then have an option to buy packs.

Yep. So Ahsoka will be right with the Phoenix squad....at 3*, level 1 and no gear at the bottom of most rosters. Lol.

You can add R2 in that list for me. I know that he has other uses in other formation but I refuse to farm, gear or level up any other rebel I will receive in the game including any future rebel Luke.

How cares what you do?
And thrawn is not a fan fav...
Can't care less about something in an book..

This is the same silliness as "can't care less about something in a cartoon".

This. Not everyone read book, not everyone watch cartoon show, bit everyone watch the movie. If you call something a fan fav it most be from the movie.

that is such an ignorant statement. only watching the movies means you are a part-timer fan. you dont gush over new things brought into canon. you dont wait watch youtube videos after youtube videos to break down trailers, shows, books ect. you like the movies and thats fine. but real diehard fans love the whole universe and cant get enough. it isnt your place to say what is and isnt a fan favorite. ahsoka and thrawn are easily 2 of the top 10 if not top 5 characters for most real fans.

The problem is what you are saying is subjective, the only thing I can think of where hard core fans voted in "official" polls is for Hasbro fan favorites for their Black Series the last couple years. 1st year Revan won hands down, last year Jana Solo won with Darth Talon close behind.

Is there any official medium to support Ashoka as a "real fans" top 5? I don't hate Ashoka but hyping a fan favorite and using misleading hints then dropping a 2nd Ashoka, a them during an Emp faction pass and claiming fan favorite feels misleading and a bit dirty.

Side rant, EU characters are widely popular despite Disney not grasping that and the Disney ignoring Jedi VS Sith are what make the Star Wars universe unique and stoked the love for SW at a young age, so they make stand alone nonjedi Sith movies. Great plan recast an iconic character who has no need to be of ignoring Jedi and Sith.

What is cgs rebel fetish? I'm disgusted by this. Who TF wants another Ashoka????
