I’ve rode bigger
TLDR: Star Wars animals would be nice in game
Ok. Spring is nearly here so here’s a suggestion in the spirit of all the nest building and gambolling lambs - Galaxy pets. I’m sure it’s been mooted before but SW has always been about the fantastic beasts and a lot of toons have strong associations with animals. This was probably emphasised most strongly in Rebels but also a recurring theme elsewhere. Think of Boba on his big dinosaur; Ashoka and her little owl bird; Embo and his dog; Luke and his tauntaun etc etc. Giving characters an associated animal sidekick could be a good way to boost stats and character abilities without just adding endless relic creep.
Some animals could be mounts (Eg NS initiate on a Rancor or BSJ on a Bantha) and boost speed and damage; some could be trackers/hunters (eg Embo or Tuskens & their dogs) and boost critical chance and accuracy; some could be familiars (eg Ezra & Loth cat or Ahsoka and owl) and boost protection or potency etc - maybe even have a couple of premium animals that take some grinding to get that really transform a toon - think Boba Fett on his Dino again or GK on his varactyl (frilly lizard thing).
You could even have a bit of fun and make them summonable but to be honest probably not worth the dev time. A nice 2d graphic and a fun grind for some status growth would be fine if it brought some humour and cool animals into the game.
Anyhow - that’s my suggestion. Feel free to savage it like a pack of wamp rats.
