Doubt it... this company has a hard-on for rebels

It's not like they're the largest and oldest faction in Star War history, huh?

Movies only. You clearly don't know anything beyond what's presented on the screen.

I've watched all movies, both canon TV shows, and read a number of books. I knew who Thrawn was before he was ever hinted at in the game.

However,

Rebels are still the oldest faction in Star Wars history. 4 out of 8 of the movies and 1 out of 2 of the TV shows were entirely focused on Rebels. The empire was in there to be the bad guy we're rooting for the heroes to take out. The majority of screen time was focused on rebels. The newest movie itself, Rogue One, introduced to us 1 new empire character (3 if you count Deathtroopers and Shoretroopers, but no new named characters beyond Krennic), and 6+ Rebel characters (named, not even counting interesting aliens like Bistan and Pao and trooper types like Scariff Rebel Pathfinder).

The majority of fans out there do not know anything beyond what's presented on the screen. It does make sense to have a healthy amount of the most famous heroic faction available for new players to want to build to play with. Darth Revan will attract a number of Star Wars fans. Commander Luke will attract all of them.

It's the same argument with every overarching Star Wars game like this I've ever played. Complaints that the light side (or in this case, rebels specifically) get too much love from the devs, forgetting that those are the best option to appeal to the widest audience due to the entire structure of the whole franchise.
