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.

I see vast disappointment in the future. Starkiller can’t be as great as you all hope and cg sticking with gear investment = power. Prepare for BAM level prerequisites and power. Four marquee even at r8 level prerequisites just isn’t enough of an investment to get the power some of you are hoping for.

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.

1) Dash Rendar
2) Prince Xizor
3) Kal Kestis
4) Supreme Overlord Shimrra (i wish)
5) Iden Versio (as an Imperial Remnant)

I'd love to see yuuzhan vong come to the game. But they need their own faction. Otherwise they'd be like tuskins and have little use.

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.

Knowing CG I vote characters that have little or absolutely no logical sense to Starkiller but you'll still need them as R5. I'd say Lobot, he was alive during that time.

And Ugnaught!

I'm ready!

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.
