1) Definitely
2) Definitely
3) Definitely
4) Sure
5) Disagree. It has to be this way IMO.
6) No idea what these are, but ok. If for nothing else, but to be able to roster a full Geonosian team. The Tuskans feel more complete as a faction than the Geos and they have less characters.
7) No way man. Sidious wasn't a separatist any more than he was GR. They were all puppets to him.
8) Yes. 1000x YES!
9) Disagree. They did honor Peter Mayhew in a totally appropriate way IMO. Plus, the Clone Wars version was never portrayed by Mayhew in the first place. If they were going to do a rework for that reason, that's the wrong character to get it.
10) I don't really see the point IMO. I mean, you're still getting points for deploying them in the platoon, so it's never really a waste.
I'll add my own hope for the future:
11) Give the droid faction one viable faction-specific leader. They only ever had one and it got killed when Darth Revan came along. I don't care if it comes in the form of a new toon, or if it's a rework to an existing droid (L3 really should have a lead), but as a faction, they really don't have a single viable leader anymore, and they have to rely on generic leadership abilities (IG88 for example).
