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?
  • I do believe that there will be DS Kotor & if so possibly Jedi & Darth Revan. Which correct, he can be tagged there, but he is still Old Republic & we have T3 & soon to come Revan whom he worked for, I just feel that the Old Republic tag applies. Whether DS or LS, it should still be applicable Tho I also thought CLS should have the Jedi tag. But thanks for the reminder, quite possibly right

    Nope because he is of the sith empire which will become a tag later on


    HK was never a part of the Sith Empire, and he was as much a member of the Old Republic as Mission and Zaalbar, so he SHOULD have the tag.


    Agreed!

    HK47 and Visas need the Old Republic tag. And Sith Marauder, Sith Assassin, Sith Trooper, Sion, Nihilus, and Traya.

    But for sure HK47 if the OR tag is simply being applied to direct contact with Revan.


    OR tag & synergy with T3. If not, then what is the point right?

    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.”


    Appreciate the insight!

    I think it’s ridiculous to propose that HK gets any of the following tags:

    Sith, Scoundrel, Bounty Hunter
    @DengarsDumpTruck

    1) he was not a Sith, in any sense of the word. He was employed / owned by a Sith. He didn’t practice any of the teachings, follow any of the beliefs, or have any connection to the Dark Side of the Force in any way, regardless of his natural affinity / history of “Dark Side” identification.

    2) he was not a contractor chasing bounties or “for hire.” He was owned, and assigned specific tasks and missions as an assassin. He was utilized as a tool, unlike IG who followed his own directives as a bounty hunter.

    3) Scoundrel is just fishing for a tag because he doesn’t really fit into any others. He wasn’t an “outlaw criminal,” as a part of the smuggling underworld, mercenary work, or any other form of independent affiliation. He was a droid. Owned by a Sith. Used as tool for assassinations.


    I thought scoundrel was reaching, but made more sense than BH. As you said..that was not his profession. Sith is totally wrong as he was a droid.
    I just think that he deserves the OR tag & a significant synergy w/t3.
