I'd like to see some of the old school characters, like Slave Leia, or Nien Numb(sp?). Luke in x-wing pilot suit, Dagobah Luke, Endor Luke(only time we see him in that is the speeder bike raid), maybe a GL Thrawn, or even some of the other clone troopers, RED 5 squadron or Luke's swing, not sure how they would do this one but i think the AT-AT would be pretty cool to add what character would everyone like to see?

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: 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.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. Jawa converted from LS to Neutral. They steal things and enslave droids as a way of life. How are they good? 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. Noghri. 'Nuff said.

Definitely more playable beasts or monsters like a Gundark, Massiff or Embo's companion Marrok. You could also have characters like Malakili and K-9X1 which have beast tamer-like synergies.I'm all for Noghri, but I wonder how they'd appear because their design in Canon and Legends are somewhat different.

Rick the door technician would be a great lifter for the imperial troopers faction providing massive damage attacks and quick healing abilities. Make him a tank,

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.

I like this idea... rework some of the older characters to make them a little more relevant.

I know it's wishful thinking, but it would be cool if they added Captain Rex or RX-24 and the StarSpeeder 3000 from Star Tours to the game. He and his ship could be a support class for the Light Side. He could synergize with the Galactic Republic, Rebels, and Resistance. Speaking of his ship they can replace R2-D2 with a random astromech.

So, I like Luke’s X-Wing. Why it’s not in the game already, no clue! I do agree with making some adjustments to older characters in the game. One character I would love to see are the Jedi Temple Guards. (Yes I know we have the Jedi knight guardians but it’s not the same)
I would like to see Lieutenant Eli Vanto and Commodore Faro added and also be apart of the Chimaera crew to pair with Thrawn. The Chimaera deserves a bit more respect in fleets imo given that it’s under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Personally, I like to it be the best capital ship for the obvious reasons. But it does need to be a better capital ship than it is.

Lol idk why, but I love the idea of adding the Geonosian Brood Queen as a leader character. And maybe even have her as a “big” unit like the old Nightsister mothers.

Or the special tie fighter that Cassian stole in the trailer. That is pretty cool too.
