Veers update incoming... What else?

The two fan favorite characters to be released are not necessarily going to happen at the same time as the Empire faction pass. In fact, I think the DEVs might have even said at one point that the two characters aren't even coming at the same time as each other and will be gotten in very different ways. I think R2-D2 is the most likely. That being said, one of the DEVs did say that at some point we might well be getting Astra's two droids from the Darth Vader comics. They really want to get those in the game, and it sounded like a fairly good chance of happening relatively soon.
