Overlooked characters

I've never bothered to use the forums before now, so I have no idea if this has already been talked about...
...but has there ever been an extensive conversation on the characters that could have been/should have been introduced to the game but were overlooked?
I was contemplating where they would get new characters to add if there wasn't a constant flow of new SW content, and I realized that there's still a large array of characters from past content that haven't made it into the game.
Specifically, I noticed that several of the main characters of kotor2 were left out. Canderous and Visas made it in, and obviously the sith triumvirate, but where are the rest? I'd be particularly interested in seeing GOTO make it into the game.
For that matter, those game gave us entirely untapped factions, namely the exchange and czerka. Czerka might be a little dull, but the exchange has bosses like lopak slusk to tap into, as well as thugs and assassins.
And have the hutts been left out solely because they're too blobby to fit on the battlefield? Because jabba would make a great GL. And that's another entirely untapped faction.

I wouldn't mind hearing other people's ideas for characters that could be added in from content that's already been touched on. And like i said at the beginning, I'd like to know if this has ever been discussed.

    Let us not forget Merrin! Maybe she can make nightsisters defeat their challenge tier 3 assault battle!

  • There are many characters I’d love to see.

    The remaining main cast from Kotor 2, some Fallen Order characters, especially the Purge Trooper, Inferno Squad from Battlefront 2, Rebels Rex, Wolffe, and Gregor, Saw Gerrera ( who I’m surprised hasn’t been added yet despite being a prominent secondary character much like Bo-Katan), Hondo Ohnaka, Delta Squad from Republic Commando since their game was ported to Switch this past April as well as having cameo appearances in some of the animated shows, Kalani, Two more Tuskens to round out their faction (preferably given similar treatment to the Geonosians to breath some life into said faction), Fennec Shand and Boba Fett from the Mandalorian, and soon to be Book of Boba Fett, the Bounty Hunter story companions from Swtor including 2V-R8( I only played the bounty Hunter story so I’m a bit partial to them), and BB-9E to name some.
  • Oh, and on a semi-related note... Krayt Dragon should really be added in as a new guild raid.
  • I still haven't played fallen order (or much of anything since the ps4 went on the fritz) but I'm guessing it's a treasure trove of new content that they haven't bothered to address.

    I'm guessing this Carrie isn't involved anymore? Either way, KOTOR was way too big of an influence on star wars lore to just be ignored. I mean isn't the Old Republic mmo still going?
    I mean they've only added four of the..eleven? Possible party members into the game from kotor2 , and that's not including The Exile. And two of them (t3-m4 and hk47) are only in the game because they were also in kotor1. They left out atton, mira, hanharr, bao-dur, the handmaiden, goto, and the neutral version of kreia that was actually in your party. And visas marr doesnt really fit in anywhere, she's just an unaligned force user.

    Another one I thought of is Fennec Shand. They added in two versions of Mando and a bunch of his companions, and added in bad batch, but left out fennec, who appeared in both shows.

    Unfortunately, CG already has their plans and the only ways that we would get those is if they decide to add them. And that only happens if they show up in some new SW movie/series.

    That would be absolutely awesome! I'd personally whale to get Cal and BD-1. Sadly I think the only chance we get for Fallen Order characters will be when the sequel game comes out in a couple of years. With the amount of Star Wars shows we're getting in the next few years, there's just not going to be a dead spot where CG has to throw something out there for new content. So that probably means Haxxion Brood, Malicos, and other exclusively Fallen Order 1 characters will be left behind.

    If we can’t have a Death Star raid, then I throw my full weight behind this.


    Well Death Star would be fleet raid, so they could do both. Guild fleet events is definitely something they should work on.

    Yea they have so many versions of main characters, Boba should get his older version from mando. Hopefully him and fennec shand get added when book of boba comes out.
    And the old versions of the clones from rebels would be good too.
    Hondo! Totally forgot about that guy till you said that. Another good scoundrel to add.
    General Kalani? Yea. Honestly there are still a lot of good droids to add in, and they could use some other options for leaders.
    I don't know about adding in anything from TOR; that's a can of worms, even if there is some good stuff. But I was thinking the assassins guild leaders from kotor, the ones can get bounties for and take out. The genoharadan.
    Also, the Bendu?
    Also the Mortis gods..maybe not as characters, but as a raid or something..
