Doctor Aphra and the droids are canon so that wouldn't fit with the Legends theme. Same thing would apply to Iden Versio.
I'm not sure they would pull multiple characters from the same property, so I would think Xizor is unlikely as well as any of other characters the Force Unleashed games.
I would think the other three are going to be pretty big EU names. Dash is the main character from the SOTE game as Starkiller is the main character of the Force Unleashed games. Kyle is a good fit from the several games he was in. Mara Jade would make a lot of sense from the Legends perspective because she is a huge character from those stories. While Zahn has creative control, I wonder if that only extends to books and movies. This game isn't canon so I think her addition is possible. They have stated they aren't strictly going with video games, but that remains to be seen. Once they announce the next character, I think the speculation for the remaining two will become easier.
Okay, I was admittedly pretty fuzzy on the distinction between their new definition of Legends vs Canon, vs the old EU label. In that case though, Corran Horn would probably be pretty likely, no?
Also, I would disagree about them not releasing multiple characters per property. Especially for TFU in this case; I can plausibly see at least one of the requirements being directly related to Starkiller's lore. There's already a bad enough imbalance between LS and DS toons (just compare faction sizes like Rebels vs Empire or Jedi vs Sith). And if they only focus on main characters/protagonists, that will just continue to grow more and more lopsided. Also, we've seen before that if they don't release related characters together they don't tend to revisit that for a looong time (see: Solo toons being released but never getting Beckett or Dryden Vos).
Whatever the case, it's true that it's hard to speculate with the limited information we have so far. As there's just so many directions they could potentially go.
