One more Rebel! Thank you so much, we really need more!

Stop. It's freaking R2D2. I don't care what tag he has. He's an iconic character in every movie and virtually everywhere in the Star Wars universe. This IS the droid we're looking for.

I can see it taking jawas to unlock him

I assure you it will require empire to unlock him. Conveniently placing the empire faction pass a week before with multiple packs in the store is no accident..

There is a good chance like most people say that it will be an Empire-required, Yoda/Palp-style event. However. don't forget that Yoda's event didn't require the "opposites" to unlock him but actually required Jedi. So there is a chance since they are introducing the "Galactic Republic" tag that THIS is the tag that will be required in order to unlock him. So I'm thinking Clones (which I don't have a lot of :neutral: ) and perhaps Jedi again depending on if they are going to count under that tag or not.

Given we have a Jedi event with the Yoda one I can't see it being another Jedi event. That would be too easy for the majority.

I bet for Empire, but actually Clones make sense, also because not everybody has a full clone 7*, and it will force people to get them and invest.

Clones, empire or Jawa and I'm sorted. Just need 5 RG shards for a full empire team at 7 star.

Great news been waiting on this Good job

Great to bring in r2 indeed! Can't wait for more info!

please do not move to megathread
Old data mine here:
Description: Versatile Support Droid that protects allies by improving both their buffs and debuffs
Basic: Electroshock Prod
Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 60% chance to Stun for 1 turn.
Special 1: Smoke Screen
All allies gain Evasion Up for 2 turns, with a 55% chance to also gain Foresight. R2-D2 gains 35% Turn Meter.
Special 2: Improvise
Deal Special damage to all enemies and inflict Damage Over Time for 4 turns. This attack can’t be Evaded.
Unique 1: Combat Analysis
All enemies have -20% Tenacity and lose 10% Turn Meter the first time they suffer a negative status effect each turn.
Unique 2: Number Crunch
The first time an ally gains a positive status effect each turn, they also gain 15% Turn Meter.

Thoughts? Looks like he could boost a lot of teams.

That's already wrong, though. The screenshot gives a different blurb, including that he inflicts "burning". So his kit has clearly been changed sincethat datamine.

@EA_Jesse there is this Iconic character from Star Wars named Luke Skywalker and he is a Jedi knight. Maybe you haven't heard of him...... r2 is great and all but what gives really? Spam countless toons we really don't want and keep the one thing that can make $$$$$$$$$ away. Sigh....... it's kinda sad the princess was right Obi wan you are the only hope.

They did announce that 2 new fan favorite toons were being added in the next 2 months. This is one of them. Jedi Luke could still be the second one

I bet they go dark side next. My guess is Jango.

That could be. But Luke is in the new trailer for the game when he wasn't there before. And he's still on the picture at the loading screen. Why have Luke in the trailer if you aren't going to add him?

Why would you have luke on the loading screen if you aren't going to add him? They're obviously going to add him to the game, it's just a matter of when. As a f2p player, I doubt I'll have access to him for at least a few months after he's introduced. Worst case scenario, he could be the reward for a new raid, which will put him far out of reach for me, as my guild is still taking 3-4 days to get through the normal AAT raid.

My guess: Yoda-style event, but with ships. Then the forums implode.

Hyped for R2 debut but hope he doesn't help the maul meta too much or I'll be pissed, says he grants allies stealth
