Convince me otherwise: JKL's kit was designed for a new general/jedi master Mace legendary event. All the galactic republic jedi synergies, all the lstb utility, all the toying with potential mace reworks. The financial people at CG looked at cash flow before the end of quarter and said "were getting a lot of pressure from corporate to turn a bigger profit this quarter, maybe slap jkl's face on there and see if we can get a 20% bump for our shareholders."

Agreed. How is Jedi Knight Luke not a Galactic Legend?

Was my initial reaction to think the same.

The issue I have with your suggestion is that I really doubt they’ll get much more money from JKL over Mace. At this point, it seems like there’s as many people asking for a Mace rework as there are people asking for JKL. And CG had to expect all of the “end times” discussions popping up when they release JKL. I would guess fewer people would be willing to spend money if they thought the game was about to end.I’m not trying to convince you that you’re wrong lol, but I just don’t see a strong argument in favor of this.

You think Mace was going to have an AOE stun in his kit?

We have so many lackluster GR Jedi in need of leadership and we need a second Jedi team for LSTB. One that will eventually include KAM, which rules out JKL as lead. JKL would have been welcome as a rebel leader who could have elevated the faction to the level of GAS. This Frankenstein creation is neither here nor there.

JKL was actually a new Mace legendary, then they Panicked

It s sad but it makes perfect sense.

Typical CG move to make money instead of making a good game

Yep, remove Mace art, add new art, remove Galactic Republic tag and add silly requirements like relic 3 garbage toons and there you go. JKL

This would have been the Mace Windu we deserved.

Serious question, you think the requirements for Mace wouldn't have required any relic 3 "garbage" toons?

I feel like if this was a Mace rework and they’d gone through with it the community would be significantly more positive about things.
