Mythic Characters - GL alternative
As I understand, currently, game follows canon versions of characters as GL material.
But, without vast lore of Expanded Universe, there won't be enough unique individuals, interesting individuals that can be used as decent leaders and provide variety to the game(and no matter if whales, krakens, dolphins or f2p, everyone like variety)
100500 Han Solos under GL Han Solo against Team Chewbakkas or team Leias is a bit underwhelming possibility.
If you consider Dark Side, only Boba remains and we may not even see Thrawn or Gideon 2.0 until 2023.
On the other hand, SW EU has Starkiller(even 2 incarnations), Mara Jade, Revan, Marka Ragnos, Darth Krayt, Darth Bane and so on.
So if Galactic Legends are canon versions, why not make GL alternative - something like Mythic characters? Many different comic and media exploit this feature of introducing alternative universes and create new possible characters or their variations. And with SW EU there is vast field of different mighty interesting characters. They only need some thought and a good presentation .
Basically, what I'm proposing are not adding characters level ahead or above GL, but same grade characters, just non-canon GLs with their own niche inside the game.
