new characters

With Slave Leia, have her wield a force pike like she does in Masters of Teräs Käsi, as well as utilizing her chain for some attacks. 

As for AT-AT, unlike the STAP it'd be too large and already some characters like Veers and Starck use AT-AT blasts as attacks to compensate for this. Instead, a vehicle battle mode similar to ship battles could be implemented introducing playable AT-ATs as well as other ground and atmospheric-based vehicles.

Maybe add a hoth raid where you drive an AT-AT blasting rebels? Doesn’t sound like SWGOH.

So good ideas aside from slave leia. CG won't do a slave leia or midriff padme  as a character. Neinub yes but I'd pair him with general lando as Lando being a Legendary and then getting dishless millennium falcon from return to boost up home one. Pilot like has been asked for, since beginning of game. Idk if we will see him and his xwing. I'm sure cg will make a 3v3 omi for him with wedge and biggs. I'm up for a GL thrawn but he needs a new look not the Grey suit even though I think that'd be admiral or captain thrawn. Have his real name as the GL though not the thrawn name. Yes we need more clone troopers. I'm sure next year we will get more thanks to both republic commando and revenge of the sith being 20th anniversary. Thing is idk if they would do a GL from those unless maybe a speculated thrawn will fill that. Since the big 2 of anakin/vader and obi are done. Unless we get a senator amidala with one of her clone wars looks before pregnancy. I can see her leading non jedi galactic republic. New place for padme. Maybe also from time to time pulls CAT!

Can't see why they wouldn't consider Slave Leia.

If it's because of their midriffs being exposed, we already have Aayla Secura and Darth Talon in the game with exposed areas.

Yeah true and IDK. Maybe some agreement between CG and Disney. 

I think instead of adding new characters CG should be fixing old characters like cad bane, the Jedi masters, darth maul, and a few of the old rebels. Some of the older characters have become useless because their abilities are boring and they don’t synergy with the new powerful characters. And, despite this being a frequently discussed topic, I still wanna say that CG should make Darth Vader more powerful. Tweak his abilities or add a new unique or something. 

Did someone say Red 5?

With Slave Leia it's out of respect for Carrie Fischer who spoke out publicly about the problems she had with the character's slave costume and how it was later used. 

I don't know about Padmé, but I can tell you that on the old forums before we got Padmé the people who were advocating for a bare midriff used a lot of sexist language that, I think, ultimately didn't help their cause. If you want everyone to think that this is a perfectly fine way to portray the character in SWGOH, they probably shouldn't have made degrading/objectifying comments on the SWGOH forums. Ultimately it probably didn't come down to those comments in CG's decision making, but there's no way that went over well. 

Personally I'm resolutely opposed to Slave Leia, and while I wasn't automatically opposed to ripped-costume Padmé, I turned against that idea pretty hard reading those old forum posts. 

Scarlet V! 

Vader really is powerful. I get tremendous use out of him. 

In general I agree with many pre-Kyro characters being boring and useless. The things that I would most like to see are in this order: 

1. Old Jedi being given new leadership abilities that make them more useful with other factions. Shaak synergizes with clones as a good example of how this should work. The point for me is that Jedi are always described as galactic protectors, but their leaderships rarely benefit anyone other than other Jedi. I want to see Jedi that earn their "protector" reputation by boosting other factions. Imagine a Jedi who loves droids and can repair/resurrect them as an example. For every LS faction in the game, we should see a Jedi or two that helps them out.
2. Monsters + monster faction. We have Wampa. I want other mosters to go with Wampa, and eventually a GL-worthy baby rancor that synergizes with a Gammorrean animal tamer. 
3. Jawa converted from LS to Neutral. They steal things and enslave droids as a way of life. How are they good? 
4. A'Sharad Hett & eventually Darth Krayt. As a Tusken Jedi Hett was unique (at least to my knowledge). We don't have many examples of Tuskens being good, so I don't need the Tuskens to be all remade into LS or neutral the way I want the Jawas to be changed, but one or two LS Tuskens would be good, and an eventual Darth Krayt would be wonderful. 
5. Noghri. 'Nuff said.
