So... They've finally done it. Confirmed what he had feared. There won't be one Han in different guises, we now have ST Han and Han Han. So can we expect Pilot Luke, Bespin Luke, Jedi Knight Luke and Jedi Master Luke? What about Luke in a bacta tank... He can't do any damage, but gets 100% healed every round.Wait! Do we know if the new Han has the yellow blood stripes or the red ones? Maybe that's another character for the future. Then of course we'll need old Han. And following the release of Star Wars VIII we can then have flashback Han. What about Lando at end of ESB when he's wearing a different shirt? I now fully expect original trilogy Chewbacca, and Force Awakens Chewie too. Will he have his middle shed, or perhaps the windswept look from Hoth.Padawan Obi Wan, Jedi Knight Obi Wan, Clone Wars Obi Wan... Hey, let's have force ghost Obi Wan - can't hit or be hit, but gives nice glow to darkened places.Seriously though, if you've wasted time and energy in ST Han, you're a bit peeved now. and if you've done the same with Luke, well you know what's coming. I find it all a bit bad taste. There are so many characters to choose from and yet we have Tusken Shaman (really, that one made me laugh), Jawa engineer (a smirk, certainly), Sun Fac (must've been top of most fans wish list

I don't find ST Han shards wasted... why? Because I doubt Han Solo will have the same proportions of serving as a tank.

I will give credit for Gamorrean, but then to go to Han without the ST armour is a bit much. What's next, Stormtrooper janitor? Oh no, wait, that's Finn, isn't it. Ok, what about Wookie blacksmith? Actually, with the massive health drops, and intro of armour protection, maybe we not such a bad idea.

Seriously, maybe I'm the only one, but I'm losing patience with this game. Too many continual changes, too many in effect in game currencies, and too much advantage being taken of a very loyal Star Wars fan base. Shame on you EA.

I think we all knew there were going to be different versions of han and luke and, hopefully, anakin and obi wan as well. I think it is cool, don't forget this is a collection game, so it is nice to have different versions of fan favorite toons.

I prefer having another Han Solo than any no-name toon.And it was pretty obvious that the "big" names like Yoda, now Han and later Obi-Wan Luke and so on will get more than one character or their release will be something special. They are popular and people want to play with them more likely than with any side character.

You forgot Carbonite Han! Solid on the defense but not much of an attacker...

I think his ability will be like Greedo's from the early descriptions. Hopefully no detonator.

Would you be okay with Han being renamed to Random SW Character #5536 That Only Hardcore Fans Know? Does that seem like a character you want to invest in?

You mean like Tusken Shaman or Jawa Engineer?

Seriously though, there are still,many characters that could've been brought in, and still ways that you could have had Han with his usual attire, versus ST armour or Hoth gear, etc. In terms of the gearing up required, that could have been used to introduce different swappable elements that in itself could have played part in strategy. This isn't Hasbro figure collection, and EA have been clever commercially (which is great for my shares), but I have to be honest and say that I did think the table in the cantina in front of the Gran patron which used to have holo faces on it was going to be used for some sort of swap. Curiously that's the table now used for guilds.

What did you expect when ST Han's name was "Stoormtrooper Han"? That they were being needlessly descriptive? You could have also been cued off by the regular looking Han prominently displayed on the LS mission table. I would have been disappointed if we never got the regular Han Solo.
As someone with a 7* ST Han, I am looking forward to getting Solo and putting him in my Ackbar-led rebel team right alongside himself. Nobody protects Han Solo better than ST Han Solo.

Spoiler alert, there is a Luke with a lightsaber on the LS mission table right in front of Han Solo. With the release of Solo, he is now the only character displayed on the LS or DS tables that isn't in the game yet (apart from fighting against him in a couple DS missions). He, along with Emporer Palpatine (empire version of Sidious) and the now released Solo have been anticipated for a long time. Expect to see them all in the future, as well as other variations of popular characters.

Not what I expected, but what I hoped. Really hoped they would drop the description, and allow a choice as to whether he donned armour or not. Better protection at the cost of speed, something along those lines. Equipment could have become a key strategy, and a way to change elements of characters, without nerfing and buffing every other month. As to the mission table, it's been changed before... Don't get ESB Luke when ROTJ Luke will be round the corner, and Jedi Master Luke not long behind that.
