A list of the premium characters that each faction has:Droid: R2D2, BB8, General Grievous, Imperial Probe DroidEmpire: Grand Admiral Thrawn, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Imperial Probe Droid, Colonel Starck, ShoretrooperEwok: WicketGalactic Republic: R2D2, General Kenobi, Grand Master YodaImperial Trooper: Colonel Starck, shoretrooperJedi: General Kenobi, Grand Master Yoda, Hermit YodaNightsister: Mother Talzin, Nightsister Zombie, Nightsister SpiritRebels: R2D2, Han Solo, Commander Luke Skywalker, Captain Han Solo, Rebel Officer Leia OrganaResistance: bb8, Jedi Training Rey, R2d2Scoundrel: Han Solo, Captain Han SoloSeparatist: General GrievousSith: Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Darth TrayaFirst Order: No special releasesOther factions without special releases: Bounty Hunters, Clones, Geonosian, Jawa, Tuskens, and offshoots of rebels: Phoenix and Rogue OneWhy is First Order stepped on as much as the factions of Geonosians, Jawas, and Tuskens? Where is our premium character?Edit: This has nothing to do with the power of a toon in the faction, just that the toon had a special release that wasn't the usual marquee or old release of auridium or immediate free-to-play

We need Snoke and Hux. Plus a FO capitol ship.

I certainly want Snoke and Hux.

The mental gymnastics required to justify it aren't really necessary. KRU and FOX are both pretty solid, and the fact that they went to low energy cantina nodes should be a cause for celebration, not an indication that they aren't "special" enough.@cannonfodder_iv Marquee = up to $300 average costLegendary/straight to cantina node on release/hero's journey= FreeRaid Reward / Tournament Reward / Shard Shop exclusive / GET exclusive / TB exclusive = technically freeMy point is that First Order never got any sort of release that one could get without dropping a dime upon release, or get as a reward for progressing in the game. Only 3 FO characters have been released, and if you want them immediately you pay the $300, or wait a few months. But, people could technically get legendaries asap for free (I personally spent nothing on getting EP/CLS/R2D2/JTR and got them all the first try, and obtained Thrawn/Yoda for free on the second time around. Also, you really cannot compare the kits of Kru, FOX, or FOSF to the kits of any legendary. yeah, they are solid, but have nowhere near the power of the legendaries/hero journeysFO's next character should be legendary, not another annoying marquee

Meh. Probably coming later on. FO is kinda bottom of the barrel squad right now and could use a boost, but I still don’t see many people actually wanting Snoke or Hux. KOTOR seems much more exciting, followed by GG/Geonosians rework. Btw, where is Jango? I’d rather have him before Snoke.

Why would they release dark side characters? obviously something they have ZERO interest in, Han Solo movie, literally 1 dark side toon. Recent announcement, another 5 light side toons... Better to have all the companions than the villian of the original KOTOR..I have been wanting snoke since TLJ release, have basically given up on the idea of it happening due to the extreme light side bias CG have had from day 1.If they are wanting to alienate half their player base they are surely going the correct way about it.

Where is the First Order Special Release Character?

What are you talking about?.... Sith are meta right now and they released a whole new dark side raid .....

What am I talking about?...
Lets start with JTR.. remember the weakest lightsaber wielder in TLJ? who got thrown around like a puppet by snoke? Sure glad she is in the game as the stronger character from the movie and there is still no snoke..

So "A whole dark side raid" which gave us.. Sion and Treya? Not sure what your point there is, when we have had 9? LS characters released/being released in the past and upcoming month or 2 compared to 1 dark side? seems even I guess.. why would you release the 2 main DS character from Solo after all.. When you can go with characters from LS who got 10 mins of screen time..

Or perhaps the fact that we have these "Heroes Journeys" but nothing even close to comparable for dark side.
Yes Sith is meta right now sure, longest stint dark side has had at being meta, in the 2.5 years the game has been out, would be curious to see the breakdown of how long LS and DS have been meta, pretty sure you will find LS wins this by a land slide.

Because he and Commander Han Solo were released in a different way than marquee...everyone was given an equal shot at them. Yeah, free =/= premium exactly but they were the first truly f2p characters since, magmatrooper maybe?

True reason, they don’t have enough Resistance to release, tonforce playwrs to buy them to get on FO we actually want. That’s the business model.
