Possible Hunters Characters come to SWGOH???

Is it possible to allow these characters from Star Wars Hunters to come to Galaxy of Heroes? IDK if and when Disney will use them elsewhere, yet at least the characters can be used well after the game shuts down. Unless there's a miracle and it can stay up like adding to consoles etc. I know not a CG problem.  There are a lot of cool characters to see what they can do in this game. Here is a list of them and teams and factions they can possibly boost.

Nox the Zabrak archer. She is part of the Order of the Night Wind which is who attacked Boba Fett on Tatooine while he was a Daimyo. She can be a Neutral or Dark Side and can be a Scoundrel and or Mercenary. If Order of the Nightwind Shows up she can be added there. 

Pilbush, Ewok Grenadier could add a unique dynamic and maybe synergize with Teebo Lead and be either an attacker or tank for the Ewoks. Yes they would also have to add like Ewok Warrior or the one that shows up in the Assault Battles to make a full team. Then We will have 2 new Ewok teams. I don't see if there will be any more Ewoks added unless they add the SWTOR Hunter Ewok Treek.

K-AOS the Imperial Droid with Shields. He could be a Droid Tank to help DR Aphra That she has been needing yet also just being a Imperial Droid for various other Imperial Teams, another tank for Lord Vader, ETC. 

Aran Tal, the Mandalorian Vanguard. He could be a Neutral Mandalorian and a Scoundrel. With being Neutral he can see if all other Mandalorians are Light or Dark and gain the Alignment. Bo with her LS Mandos makes him become Lightside. Just a plug in play in either Mando team or Various Scoundrel team. 

Slingshot, Droideka Speeder. The Ugnaught in a Droideka is a cool idea. Could spawn a Lead of Ugnaughts and Droids working under him and have Synergy with Kuiil, and Ugnaught. Neutral would make since for him. 

Grozz the Wookiee Juggernaut. Easy either LS or Neutral Wookiee to pair with Tarfful. 

Skora, Rodian Sawbones would probably be a Scoundrel, Mercenary as well as her ties with the Hutt Cartel as a Healer. I see her being Lightside. 

Sprocket the Mon Calamari Prodigy & J-3DI. Easily Lightside and would also carry the Droid tag cause of his floating seat and Various Droid Remotes. He also built J-3DI the Jedi like Droid. Can spawn another Droid Team paired with J-3DI, either leading or just plug n play with other Droid Teams.

Charr the Trandoshan Trapper. Easily a Scoundrel or Mercenary. However he can be a simple Bounty Hunter to plug in play with Bounty Hunter teams. As well as if we get other Trandoshans we will see him plug in there.

Zaina Rebel War Hero. Easily Rebel and Rebel Fighter. 

Diago the Miraluka Sharpshooter. I can see as a Lightside or Neutral UFU or Scoundrel. Not much is known about him. I will say he should have all his abilities unable to be evaded. 

Imara Vex Unrelenting Bounty Hunter. Easily she is just a Bounty Hunter and Scoundrel

Utooni 2 Stacked on Jawa Scavengers. Easily boosting Jawas. Unless a Scavenger faction is created. 

Sentinel the Imperial Heavy Gunner. Easily Empire and Imperial Trooper. 

Rieve Dark Side assassin would easily be a Dark Side Unaligned Forcer user attacker. 

Glikkin the Kubaz Rogue. Since he is the same speices as Garindan Ezz Zavor that found Han Chewy r2 Old Ben etc in Episode 4. Eaisly Dark Side Scoundrel and Mercenary. Or just Mercenary. 

 

So thats the list of all of the characters currently. I will say easily CG, you can just add these characters for free and add various packs found where you go to find their locations in the character screen. This game is falling but im sure boosting various factions with new characters would be cool and without adding them to the cadence. The packs can be simple 800- to 900 Crystal cost packs that give 15-330 shards. Keeping the packs there from then on to have newer players 2 to 5+ years down the road able to purchase them. Then in 3 or so years split the characters up in various Lightspeed bundles. This would be a great push help free to play with new characters and whales, and bigger spenders will probably purchase them all at some point, especially Ahnald. He will go after them easily to test various new team combos out.

    I've enjoyed playing Hunters as well, and the characters and the game are pretty fun. I will probably miss having it available when it closes in October, though I don't play it regularly anymore and may not open it again before its gone.

    As I understand it, the premise of the game being considered canon, is that they are fictional roles in-universe played by in-universe actors and broadcast as "reality" entertainment on the HoloNet, for in-universe audiences. 

    They aren't real people in Star Wars, so I don't think it makes sense to add them to this game, even if it were possible.

    It would be like thinking Hulk Hogan is a real persona, but from the star wars universe point of view.

    I believe Lucasfilm / Disney would still outright own anything Star Wars related, they may just consult the designers who created the characters so there'd be nothing stopping anything from Hunters potentially appearing in SWGOH.

    Also, source please to where it states that the characters are actors because that's new to me?

    In no way am I an expert on this, nor have I read the novel that I just learned is a thing - which means Disney/Lucas does seem to own it.

    It's supposedly the WWF of the Star Wars universe. There aren't actual battles on the planets depicted in the game - the scenes are just fake locations in the Grand Arena on Vespaara. The combat can't be real, because the personas are always alive again to fight another day.

    I'm not saying it would be impossible to include personas from a reality show in the universe, but in doing so it dilutes the 'realism' of SWGOH.

    Disney/Lucas would still outright own it, regardless. The articles you listed mention that it's all Canon and that part of Rieve's lore is that she's a force user who pretends to be a Sith for her persona in the matches, much like Leia pretended to be the Bounty Hunter Boushh when entering Jabba's Palace in RotJ.

    Well the fates of the characters is right now up in the air so whether they lived or died is irrelevant until new official sources state their demises. Hunters is much in the same vain as Star Wars: Demolition where the characters exist in the main universe (Legends), but their fates after the matches is open to interpretation, with of course the exception being Boba Fett with the fact that we know he survived the game's events as he was present at the Pit of Carkoon to be swallowed and later escape.

    Hunters in the simplest terms was a failure success wise. Its closing and I think a Hunters themed Era would be less popular than Bad-er Batch

    True yet adding them as free to play while they work on their money-making themed characters would be a nice nod to the community though. Touching up various factions and teams. But I do agree there are way better options out there. Yet I still would like to see them at some point. They have some cool designs, especially the Droideka and Ugnaught.

    Hhahhahaha, okay I think you are delulu. They aren't going to spend time on a character and give them out for free. That would be insanity
