Just to clarify, adult ahsoka also is NOT a fan favorite. None of the ahsokas are. Nobody from SW rebels is except thrawn and he is because of EU, not because of the show.

I believe your statement is biased. Ahsoka is very much a fan favorite and maybe moreso than Thrawn. Many younger fans never read the EU books and only know the movies, the clone war series, and rebels.
If you ask most fans under 20, they would only know Thrawn from the most recent season of Rebels.

Yea fans under 20 don't pay cgs bills.

This is awesome SUPER awesome. They're acknowledging the neutrality of the force! And I get an Adult Ahsoka Tano my Favorite Charater.

I'll admit...I dunno much about Thrawn or Mutton Chops or how "cool" they are....but I ain't sad of *ish!

All I can say is: yes! Yes! YES!

You do know she is light, don't you?

Thrawn has been credited with saving Star Wars from a state of declining interest, nobody will EVER say that about Ahsoka

Edit: looking back I think the word "saving" is a tad bit of an overstatement but you get the point.

The Zahn novels maybe, not Thrawn the character. Ahsoka is incredibly popular way more so than Thrawn ever was, but it is impossible to prove one way or another.

Once again, I think this is divided into age categories. I'm a guy who watched the original Star Wars in the theater when it was first released and I've read a lot of the EU books over the years. I would love to see Thrawn released in game.
That being said, I know the younger generation and I've seen plenty of Ahsoka and other CW/Rebels costumes on Haloween. I've only ever seen one Thrawn, and that was a group of kids' father. They were all random Star Wars characters and he was Thrawn - I was impressed.

I have no idea what the age breakdown is of the players but it sounds like we have a majority of older players that frequent the forums.

On a side note, for all those complaining that they gave us another Rebel. When they release Jedi Luke, he'll be a Rebel.

I love Ahsoka's character and am excited about an adult version of her, BUT... I still think I would rather of had an Empire/Rebels Kallus OR Thrawn. With every new content release (Ep7, Rogue 1, Clone Wars, etc...), we've gotten members from both the light and dark sides. With Rebels though, we got the entire Phoenix Squad to represent the light side, but only Gar Saxon (who played a very minor role in the series) and one of his commandos to represent the Dark Side and that's it?

I have to assume that they're still planning on giving us those characters at some point here in the near future. Maybe when Season 4 hits this fall? I can understand their hesitancy with releasing Thrawn right at this moment though, because they're probably planning to release him at the same time as a major overhaul to the Ship content. (I can't imagine them releasing a Grand Admiral without another capital ship of some sorts for him to command...) But they could have at least given us Kallus. If the incoming transmission gif was meant to represent Ahsoka only, they should not have used a recognizable clip from Season 3 (which Ahsoka didn't even cameo in)!

@CG_Kozispoon That was kind of a low blow...

That being said. Thank you for giving us an older and more mature Ahsoka.

Very fustrating

They are waiting to add Luke until there are 99 rebels. He will be no 100, the most OP of them all.

I got 99 Rebels but Luke ain't one.

Did I miss something? How do we know it's a new Ahsoka?

No somehow they decided she was a fan favorite they needed to be launched as a Rebel during the Empire pass with a shitty Tarkin rework.

Too bad none of these podcasts have any balls to actually push them in these interviews or call them out on their shit like the named rebels comment and how they decided to do Ahsoka as a fan favorite, and mislead people with the images released.

So she dispels all debuffs on her at the end of her turn and takes damage for each one... Does anyone know whether debuffs that would normally have expired at the end of that turn (like stun) will deal damage to her as well, or will they expire first, and then she dispels whatever's left?
