Yes. A currently running Disney Licensed on the Cartoon Network this is the definition of Mainstream. Some of these characters that haven't had a prominent role in any "new" Star Wars mediums in 30 years.

i have no idea who they are and I've no interest in learning. There are plenty of mainstream characters who could be added before this lot.

Luke? R2? C3P0? Bossk? C'mon. Please can we focus on the mainstream?

Maybe I'm an old dinosaur but I'm only interested the films

Yes. A currently running Disney Licensed on the Cartoon Network this is the definition of Mainstream. Some of these characters that haven't had a prominent role in any "new" Star Wars mediums in 30 years. Luke will get his time to shine for sure, but C3PO is a pretty lame addition IMO and while Bossk is clearly the next best for a bounty hunter to be added (unless its Embo) and I'd like to see him he couldn't be further away from anything consider "Mainstream".

Lmao then don't farm them, they are cannon your gonna have to accept that my friend, they may surprise you and have some wicked synergy

"Don't farm them"

You act like they won't be Meta, that's cute.

"They may surprise you" About what? Is the shell shocking secret that will surprise me the fact that Rebels are once again gonna be the top dog?

Pretty sure based on how they release characters, that they won't be the meta for about three months unless you have a lot of players willing to 7* each one for about $300 a pop.

Math is hard, I know. Unless for some reason you don't think Jar Jar is the worst cannon character ever.

Sure rebels is part of the Star Wars universe, but that doesn't make it mainstream. Mainstream would be characters that actually stand out among others such as sith, Jedi generals or masters, or even droid commanders like grevious but they already have him.

No, Mainstream is the current, dominant, and conventional which is always going to be the now and not the decades ago. Disney owns the license anything they put out is going to be the Mainstream, not the movies we loved as kids; have to except the fact that new content is created for new generations.

This is a Star Wars game, right? So let them add Star Wars Characters.... For gods sake they have Coruscant Underworld Police in the game, but they can't add a few characters from an active Star Wars TV show? Why does everyone get so bent out of shape over everything. There are some people that like the Rebels characters, they want to appease those people, and then they're going to go back to releasing other star wars characters. The world isn't going to end because they decided to release some characters from the only currently airing Star Wars show....

uh, what you quoted me on has nothing to do with your reply? the quote is about the connection from a comic to the games of KOTOR which stemmed from whether or not KOTOR is back to being canon because of Rebels itself.

they can add characters all they like. my disagreement and dislike is with them favoring fad characters over the characters that made STAR WARS what it is today. the same characters who if they didn't exist these new fad characters would be NOTHING but obscure if they even still existed.

Your "fad" characters are another player's favorite characters. Your KOTOR obsession is commendable... many and more people will have no clue what that is. And it's all cool man. KOTOR didn't make Star Wars popular, and REBELS won't kill it. Everyone can play in their own sandbox and enjoy themselves. Not to further fuel your internet outrage at KOTOR not being as popular as REBELS... but the og game sold around 2 million copies. 2 didn't fare as well with 1.4 mill units moved. Those are not bad at all - by comparison, Mass Effect sold 3 mill+, ME2 sold over 4mill, and ME3 went back down to 3mill. On digital platforms alone, 3.2 million people watched Rebels last season alone. 22 million watched on TV according to Nielson figures. So... one of those things (whether you like it or not, whether it came first or not) is more popular than the other. I'm not saying it makes it better mind you. I'm just suggesting you may be in the minority (people who know KOTOR lore vs those who do not).

You love Bossk? Awesome man, I'd love to see a trandoshan in game too.

You love Revan? Awesome bruh, I'd love another sith.

You love Rebels and want Thrawn? Awesome friendo, a blue person sounds fun!

You love Jar Jar? Stop being an internet troll and make a friend.

In short, put your pants on and go for a long walk outdoors. We could all use some fresh air because this has gotten downright rediculous.

google Malachor or Malachor vs Malachor V - the planet with the huge ancient Sith temple? that's directly from KOTOR. forgot who, but someone connected to Rebels says not to read into it but give me a break, it's taken directly from KOTOR II and orignated with KOTOR. now if there is some split and BioWare doesn't recognize KOTOR II no clue.

The creators of Clone Wars and Rebels have come out to say that they where deliberately taking things from the expanded universe and adding them into their shows to make them cannon. Like how Revan is not cannon, but almost was because he was actually going to be in an un-aired/finished episode of Clone Wars.

(not sure if this is in context with your post but I just wanted to point this out)

Oh so now the keyword is mainstream....

Lol... when we gonna see sabine and ahsoka in the new twerking mode?

In fact Rebels is the only reason Thrawn is Cannon and why he'll likely get added to this game now, so you know thank Rebels for that.

It is a good move by DEV by targeting younger generation. New blood to replace oldies! Ouch, I think that means me.........
