Seriously, can we please have Jedi Luke?

I'd like Captain Lennox. Ability: First catch of the day (all enemies gain evasion up)

+ 1 million to Jedi Luke

The whole worry of wanting to save characters for the longevity of the game is absurd. There are SOO many characters that can be added. Holding off on the main character of Star Wars is insane.

At the same time, you can almost understand it from their end. There are only so many, shall we say, milestone characters in the movies. Vader is out there. Grevious is out there. Old Kenobi is out there. Yoda is out there. A version of Chewie is out there. Solo is now out there in two roles. You've got Skywalker out there in one, and Leia in one. Anakin. You get my drift.

If they were to give us Padme, General Kenobi, Jedi Luke, Chewbacca from OT era, Palpatine, Jango Fett, Bossk...heheheheheh...Jabba...even if they gave us the milestone characters once a month, they'd run out quickly. I feel like they can't resist terribly much longer without giving us at least one or two of the heavy hitters, but there are only so many iconic canon characters left.

They're playing the long game, but unfortunately it's playing back against them. They've opted to ration them out too slowly at the expense of Who The Mustafar Are These Guys and the masses are getting impatient.

I suppose it might be necessary to define "carrot", and that the very definition may change from person to person.

If we were to put aside all skills and understand that they are interchangeable and could theoretically belong to any character in the canon, the challenge is finding the right one.

Further understanding that we have games, books, comics, shows and of course the movies with which to draw inspiration from...I'd say a carrot would be any character who has had a notable presence or impact in any capacity. Notable. If they had an actual name that increases their reasoning for a presence.

I feel like EA/CG has done a better job of this recently....well, up until the most recent anyway.

So many unused characters remain, however. Seriously. Pick a book, show or comic. You could mine it for only a few hours and undoubtedly easily find 2 or 3 characters to pull into the game and give excellent abilities without needing to resort to "scavenger" or "engineer" or "random synergied race X".

But then...I guess that would throw a wrench into the cog that is synergies of random races, wouldn't it? Cuz I know when I was a kid, I ran around shouting UTINNI at the top of my lungs instead of having lightsaber fights or blaster matches pretending to be a bounty hunter chasing down Solo.

Bounty hunter...huh. Where are they again? Oh yeah.

Yeah. Carrot very much is a personal thing. But certain characters are arguably "super popular" like Luke. I'm sure there's plenty of people who don't like him, but I'd wager they're probably not the majority.

I feel like every 2-3 months for BIG characters would be fair. Right now, we usually get 2 characters per month, and they've lately been pretty generic. If they did it that way, they can push out some generic characters, then follow it up with more characters people actually want.

Shoot...it might even be what they consider "fair" by corporate standards to release the named characters in Aurodium and Chromium, and push through their other filler toons exactly as they did this month. GW, Arena, Cantina, Guild Currency. It wouldn't be the popular choice, but hey...when you have a freemium P2W game like this, few choices that involve exclusives are.

But that way, at least they stop making us pay for filler toons with good abilities, and instead opt to give us known toons with good abilities.

Well, and of course...there's always new raid rewards or limited timed events like Yoda.

I'd like Jedi Luke or Clone Wars Kenobi. It's a crime that they aren't readily available

Jedi Luke, real chewbacca, padme, general kenobi, r2, and c3p0. One every two months would be a year. By that time episode 8 will nearly be out.

Side query: What's the general consensus on Rogue One toons? Are we thinking new synergy or considered Rebels?
