How CG could fix the Neutral Alignment Tag.
So aside from the current Hondo Ohnaka, no other character has received the Neutral Alignment which is sad. I don't see why its a struggle to add the Neutral tag to many older chracters and newer ones. Ill list all the units that make since down below. But one thing CG could do to allow these characters to work in more areas is make the Neutral alignment not just be played in either Dark Side or Light Side areas of the game, but make them count as both Dark and Light. This way like the Bulk Datacrons of 15% Health and Protection to Light and dark could apply and count the Neutral tag as well. This would allow Hondo to get the level 3s in the Datacrons as well as work under any Galactic Legend that gives stat boosts to either Dark or Light. Just add a non Gear Power, non leveling up unique ability to all Neutral Characters. Its like Arc Trooper's Blaster Turret Unique that you don't need to level up and it provides description of the summoned unit, or the Large Unit Uniques. Here is how I would word it.
Neutrality: (Unique)
Neutral Characters count as both Dark Side and Light Side, and get bonuses and counter bonuses of other allies and/or enemies based on the alignments they describe.
This way Characters like Hondo will work better and players can also have more characters added in or moved over to the Alignment because of how they are in the Lore of Star Wars. Wampa is a prime example that he isn't Dark or Light, he is a creature out to survive the wilds of Hoth. So him acting Dark just because he attacked Luke that had wandered into Wampa's Territory isn't a dark thing at all. Its like real life Lions and Bears being territorial to their habitats and Wampa is an example of this. You can train animals of the real world to do good or bad things but until they are trained to do this, they are Neutral. Now if it was a Hutt Cartel's Captured Wampa, then I can see Wampa being Dark side. It goes same with various current factions that are Territorial based on them being Natives of their said planet. Certain ones yes and certain ones no. Geonosians as an example are native to Geonosis, yet they have sided with the Separatists, which will then make them Dark. Plus some characters like Hondo does good and bad things and help both sides. Makes since that all versions of Hondo would be Neutral. Also doing this with some Undercover characters would make since as well. They maybe light but they are acting Dark to blend in. Here is my list of possible Neutral characters below.
- Wampa
- Jawas and Tuskens. They both do good and bad things but they are natives to Tatooine and haven't sided with any faction. So both make easy since to be Neutral. Plus Jawas tend to steal and resell equipment, which for us its a Dark thing to do, yet they are labeled as Light Side. Also some Jawas worked with Jabba, as you see some in his Palace in Return of the Jedi.
- Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka
- Coruscant Underworld Police(CUP) could get this treatment since they had these police working with the Empire as well. Plus CUP could also get the Imp tag and work with them. Be a cool unique buff for CUP.
- Boba Fett, Scion of Jango. He acted more supportive to his allies in the Book of Boba Fett(we need season 2 and need a improved story).
- Skiff Guard Lando and Boushh Leia since they are undercover.
- Stormtrooper Luke and Han could also get this treatment but they could also stay light as well. Its why I said some undercover characters.
- 50R-T. Since I don't see anything Light or Dark about this droid, since she is a reprogramed Card Dealing Droid. She is just doing a Job.
- Qi'ra worked with the Crimson Dawn, yet had both a Light and Dark Feel. She does later lead the Crimson Dawn vs the version we have from the Solo show. You can argue keeping this one light and a Crimson Dawn Leader version as a Dark version. So this one can go both ways.
