I disagree, my favorite part of the game is playing my favorite characters and I enjoy when an OP character in the movies is OP in the game. My favorite parts of the game has been when QGJ ruled the meta. When EP came on the scene and just destroyed. And now with zeta Vader.
I truly enjoyed yoda's addition and the enhancement he gave to the game.
I even like the Dooku and Old Ben dodge considering they are very important characters.
The Rey meta, although a bit OP was enjoyable after the movie. The Rex and clone synergy has been fun, although my clones never have been good enough.
I did not like the Poe Speed dice roll. Or the Daka meta for a while. The baze and chirrut meta has been OP in my opinion along with Wiggs. Fun characters but...
If small characters are going to be OP I like it to be like the droids have been. Takes a team and synergy to be meta or OP. I have no problems with making ST a viable part of a empire team but nothing exciting about throwing ST into a bunch of misfit characters.
