Idea for new EU Character event similar to Starkiller

I loved the whole treatment of the Starkiller event and would love to see a similar event return in the future. Maybe next time get the community more involved and let it be a fan's choice selection.

Other games do polls on characters. Fire Emblem Heroes does a poll every anniversary where any character in any game in the franchise is fair game (even some bizarre ones) and the top two male and female characters will then come to the game in special "hero" unit form. From the reveal of the winners to in-game release takes 6 months (Feb voting, Aug release). This could actually be a cool way to bring more EU toons into the game. Have us vote this May 4th Celebration on any EU character and the top 5 are then made into the game. The 2-5 winners are the marquee requirements and #1 is the new Legendary for December. Keep players engaged and excited for future releases, whales get to whale for cool toons the community selects, CG makes a bundle, and the f2p get to chase after them as they drop into marquee and accelerated status down the road.

I don't think the number 1 should just default to the legendary character, this is how we get legendary jar jar, it needs to be someone with a lot of weight more than just being a popular character but I like the idea of having people vote, better than voting for a random pilot as part of your ship energy grinding
