Hk-47 Old Republic Tag?
So with the anticipation of Revan making his way to SWGOH, longtime & often overlooked HK-47 was the only Old Republic Toon since I began playing spring of '17. Can we give him that tag finally?

Thought this might be worth bringing back up, since now there’s a DS Bastila Character with the Old Republic tag (along with Canderous Ordo also being a DS character with the OR tag.)
So, two things have now been defined about this:
1) OR tag can be both LS and DS characters, similar to how the Droids faction tag was mentioned earlier.
2) It’s classified as an “Era Faction,” since Bastila (Fallen) abandoned the Jedi and was no longer associated with the Old Republic as a National Faction, like how the Galactic Republic tag works for Clones and “modern” Jedi. (New Bastila doesn’t hold the Jedi tag)
Point: HK, Visas, DN, Traya, Sion, Sith Trooper, Marauder, and Assassin deserve the OR tag. As a side note, for future launches of Revan’s Ancient Journey, the requirements could just be limited to the specific original OR toons, like CLS’s journey needed specific individuals as opposed to a general “faction.”
