The Light Side bias...
Is getting out of control. With the addition of BB8 there will be a total of 76 LS characters and only 53 DS characters. That's 59% of the entire roster being light side. Seriously? This needs to...

There are more versions of han and leia combined than there are the ENTIRE GROUPS of;
Non-rebel droids
Jawas
Tusken
Phoenix squadron
Nightsisters
Resistance
Genosian
And until recently ewoks too.
Han and leia alone encompass half as many characters as the ENTIRE EMPIRE FACTION.
And are just behind Sith.
Its not just that its light-side centric..but a 4th han and 3rd leia is a hard pill to swallow when some of the most interesting characters in the entire SW universe are getting horrendously snubbed.
I run an excellent and competitive empire arena team; but the ONLY reason it can compete is i have among the best mods in my shard. My mods have to be significantly better for me to have a shot. Largely because not only are DS characters under-represented, not only are they MUCH harder to farm in comparison, but;
They are much, much, much slower as a whole. TFP and dook are about the only 2 truly fast DS characters, and TFP is no longer viable in arena.
And unlike light side (rebels in particular) darkside doesnt 'have it all'.
Krennic. Great skill set. Great support. Great damage. Individually as tanky as a motorcycle on the eastern front. Even with crit immunity he goes down in 2-4 hits.
CLS however cam dish it and take it. And if you take shard purchasing out of the equation; CLS is actually a much easier farm.
Dont even get me started on GK\zarris or chaze. Chaze has been mostly phased out, except for extremely high tier ones, but a fast, high dmg chaze combo is deadly, with the greatest paired sustain in the game, has 2 buffscrubs, debuff scrub, and near permanent retaliate. Empire has noone even close to covering all the bases like light side does. Empire also has far more rigid possible compositions.
There should be 10 empire, 7 sith, 5 FO, 3 bounty hunters, 3 droids, 3 genosians, 2 jawa, 2 tusken before we get one more **** han solo or leia version.
