What are your predictions?

Kyle Bush and Kyle Larson. JK.
Although I am going to point out that Mara Jade has been discussed previously on the forum, and it was pointed out that Timoth Zahn (her creator) has made her off limits without his express consent. I don't recall the details, perhaps someone from that conversation with a better memory (or better forum search skills) than mine can chime in.

1. Dash render
2. Kyle katarn
3. Mara jade (likely version from mysteries of the Sith expansion)
4. Exile

I think the pattern is that they need to be from a video game (likely 90s or early 2000s). I think they'd need to fit in with existing factions since there doesn't appear to be any synergy between the two announced unless they put in a 90s video game tag.

If you added in other sources of legends there are endless possibilities but I don't think they will. Likely just video games.

Maybe I’m wrong or I didn’t read it yet, but did we thought about that these 4 characters aren’t needed for SK? Maybe they are just going to boost his team or they are characters we have already ingame ?? I just can’t imagine that CG releases 4 marquee characters in 4 weeks. That would be higher requirements than a GL, if you count gear and relics together. Even BB had 2 weeks between each marquee if I’m correct.

The data mine seems to suggest 5 new characters due to the packs. So that is the general consensus. Though we could be wrong.

Interesting and I wonder why he took that stance. Zahn also created Thrawn and hes now in everything which makes the stance on Mara unusual. Its probably about money, like most things.
There's been rumors that Mara would/will show up in the Ashoka show but those are just internet rumors as far as I can tell. Here's hoping.

Zahn still writes star wars books for cannon. The new thrawn books are really good btw. And Mara was used a lot by other authors in the EU as well in older video games. So I don't think it'd be too hard to get permission.

Most like just a provision in his contract to get some royalties for the use of a character he created.

From what I recall in that conversation, Zahn was insisting that Mara had a good story arc in whatever she appeared in. Which is pretty much relative to his interpretation. I don’t know what his thoughts would be on a non-story-based game like SWGOH, but I doubt releasing Mara Jade solely as a requirement for a completely unrelated character would go over well.

I mean I'm sure he does care about his character. But I'm not sure her coming to a mobile game would be a big deal. End if Mara is required, we don't know what teams she would work on. So it may be more than just her being a requirement for starkiller.

Maybe. But I think it’s the story that he values. A cinematic-esque event is probably the closest we’ve come to that, and even that’s not much.

Plus, CG would still have to convince Zahn that that’s the reason, and not because they’re trying to deflect from their own disasters by bringing in a popular character to use to get another popular character, which is what we all know this is about.

I'm sure they'll spin it. They are great at that. And unless he actually plays the game, I doubt he'd look into it that much.
