Why Stormtrooper Han??

Let me preface this by saying that I've been playing this game since the end of last year and this is all written in light hearted jest.

I can't help but feel both amused and annoyed that this game chose the most specific depiction for Han that totally don't match his iconic image. ST Han. Just...Why? Why would you depict Han as he was in one specific scene of one movie when anyone who hears the name Han Solo would immediately conjure up the image of him in his black vest and side blaster?

At first I thought maybe this was a set up to having a Pokemon-like game mechanic where characters will eventually "evolve" into later, more iconic versions of themselves. That would explain Luke on Tattoine or Clone Wars Chewie but that also means Old Ben becomes a missed opportunity.

I also had the thought that since they forced Han to be a Tank, they needed to depict him as having some form of armor but that's entirely silly considering Poe is in his normal wear.

So what's the deal CG? Why ST Han?

    They are saving the iconic characters for an event and attract players. Surely you know that.


    That should have been the tank that RG is. Constant taunt and 1M health (Carbonite is hard). :smile:

    Haha, Carbonite Han should have RGs taunt mechanic and be even more stout...but no offense!

    Everything is fine, don't nerf me, thanks, or RG or Dooku. Instead, make others stronger. OK thanks (blasts comlink)

    Very simple. It gives you an iconic version of Han without the ULTIMATE version of Han that can be saved for a later patch.

    Why not Jedi Knight Luke? Exact same reason. You talk about Luke Skywalker, nobody thinks of a guy with a sniper blaster.

  • I expect a scoundrel event to get Han.

    Been farming Scoundrels just in case. Hopefully don't need 5 7*s
