New idea escorts missions

So the idea, how to add characters that most people want, but really have no place in this currently stylized game. A lot of people want Padme, R2D2, C3PO, BB, and yes even *cough*, Jar Jar. Don't let me lose you yet, this is a good idea.

First we could add these characters under a title like escorts, this would be akin to attacker, tank, support, healer. The role is to add a new depth to the game and add fun and diversity, while also adding these less than combat characters to the game. This could also revitalize the use for healers in the game and give them a serious role again. Script escort characters to only be able to unlock and collect rewards from escort missions. So the next question is how could this work.

Well you unlock the toon, let's say you unlock R2. R2 gives you access to a 3* escort mission specifically taylored to him as he is currently only 3*'s himself. This is a 5 characters team escorts and R2 is placed in the 6th spot, only having another leader ability. You could make the escorts a 5 stage daily mission to complete. EA could literally put any type of reward they want, mods, gear, credits, whatever.

Now the other part. R2 shows up in your character roster like other characters. You still can gear them up, level them up, and most importantly * them up. Each star unlocks a new level of difficulty for higher rewards. You can also upgrade their 1 leader ability, this in return helps the overall success of the missions.

Adding so many of these iconic but lackluster in the way of combat toons like Padme in this game could create several daily escorts missions like 1 different for each day. You could even tie some of them into the hardware that is coming soon.

This could make everyone happy, the people that want to see some of these iconic characters in game, but it doesn't make sense to add them currently as the game is currently set up. This also allows new depth to another avenue of this game.

What do you guys think. Feedback, comments suggestions welcome.

    Without force abilities, Padme escaped her chains and climbed up a pillare with nothing but a chain and fended off a monster designed to kill the whole while. Also R2 not only has battle animation in the game, but in the movies he has taken out B2s through ingenuity.

    JarJar could also very well be a powerful sith capable of super-human strength and foresight. Despite that, he, along with Senator Palpatine and C3PO would make for good non-combatives.

    It would also be neat to have them as passengers in ship battles with the goal to rescue them and you could use your squads during different phases of the rescue. Maybe...

    Just to be clear I am not really referring to a ship escort more like when Padme was escorted to the throne room to take Nute gunroy sp? In episode 1. Getting R2 and C3PO back to the rebels. When Jar Jar was escorted by qgj and Obi-Wan in the beginning of episode 1. R2 and C3PO back from Jaba. Those types of missions

    I actually like this idea but let me add my 2cents..
    Just make this an addition to GW. The escort character is a non-combative unit but does have special abilities to provide either buffs or debuffs and can have a lead ability. You choose what character you want to escort at the start. They'll all have different synergies to work better with certain teams. Each node you complete with the escort alive grants you bonus rewards. Maybe have double rewards? Or whatever. And at the end if you escort the character all the way through you'll get some really good rewards. Maybe something like a zeta mat or something actually useful and worth while. If the escort dies at any point then you just continue GW as normal.
