YES I KNOW THAT'S NO LONGER CANON, but this game has non-canon charactersSo, I'm all for Jedi Luke coming (ROTJ version ofc) who is already on his way. He'll be a great character no doubt, but that got me thinking: his twin sister is quite weak character (aside from Princess Zody), nowhere near meta. At least JKA is part of the Jedi team, but is there really any worthy Rebel comp which uses Princess Leia? I don't think she needs a rework, she's OK for a beginner and works in hAAT, so I'd rather have a different version (we have Farmerboy Luke, too). That version could be General Leia from ST, but how's this not better:https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/d/dc/LeiaOlder.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100315200723

...wait, WHAT?!Why not purpose a different version of Leia (or a rework)? Actually never mind I'm pretty sure any other Leia won't happen ever in this game as we already have her as she's portrayed in her iconic role and she's quite a good character as is...not every toon needs to be OP & the new meta.

I don't think so. This game has stuff that isn't canon, but it doesn't have stuff that contradicts the modern canon.We'll get a General Organa or a Hoth Leia, but no Jedi Leia unless Disney retcons something.

But the Skywalkers?

Every single character in this game is either new canon, or from a previous EA game. It's a licensing thing, this will never change. We can all wish and post for Mara Jade, but it can't be done.

If I'm not mistaken, Luke trained her in the new canon, like he did in the EU, but she was more comfortable with the political stuff so I don't think she ever finished her training.Speaking of Jedi Leia, it was so dope to fight her on Endor in The Force Unleashed. I think I have a Jedi Leia action figure somewhere in storage...

@Krayden_Phogg If it happened it was in a book I haven't read yet('Heir to the Jedi' seems like the only possibility, it's about Luke after all).

In no movie or tv show does Leia exhibit any force powers beyond force empathy.

I haven't read the new books. I might have read that in an article from like JJ Abrams or Carrie Fischer or I'm possibly just getting things mixed up. But yeah I thought during the production or TFA there was someone mentioning that she got a little training (nothing extreme at all) but was too involved in politics (or something to that matter) I'll scour the Internet on my next break.

I know she was latently force sensitive in the old EU, odds are Disney incorporated that potential into the new canon, but not the training that she seems to have gotten in later-old EU books.

Leah never became a Jedi even in the non canon EU, she started basic training then stopped, choosing a more political path instead.
