Please accept my apologies if this is been discussed, but the search function is not working for me on my mobile device. I swear I heard it in passing, maybe in one of the YouTube videos, that wedge and Biggs would be considered rogue one tunes for the upcoming territory battles..... has this been confirmed or denied?

They're not in the movie, so no.

Screenshot of the deploy screen for the R1 mission shows there are nine toon options, of which SRP, Baze, Chirrut, K2SO, Jyn, Bohdi are seen with the scrollbar indicating 3 more off screen.Presumably, Cassian, Bistan, Pao.

Ooh! Something I can help with as I just finished watching a bunch of videos. I think it was the video where the developer was explaining TB. He was discussing the R1 requirements, and started talking about how some R1 Rebels are the strongest Rbeels in the game and mentioned how Chirr and Baze are among Wedge and Biggs as those super powered Rebels. It was confusing the way it was done, but that's what happened there! Chirr and Baze are R1 rebels and are just as powerful as Wedge and Biggs who are just regular rebels.

So many threads about confusion over r1 characters. How is this seriously that confusing?

Just because a certain somebody has been in the movie, it doesn't automatically make him a R1 toon. R1 toons are the main cast - Jyn, CA, Chaze, Bodhi, K2SO and probably Pao and SRP. Rogue One refers to the people who were apart of this squadron(when they went to Scarif), not every single rebel in the movie.

Wedge was there. Leias dad talked to him. Leia was there too. None of them will be considered R1 toons.

Probably because they've only released sneak peaks and not the actual list of R1 characters...

It really shouldn't be that complicated. Who were the crew of rogue one? Problem solved

No way are wiggs R1 Toons as has been mentioned several times in this chat. R1 Toons to my opinion could only be (light side restrictrion):
Jyn, K2SO, Cassian, Baze, Chirrut, Scariff Rebel Pathfinder, Bistan, Bodhi Rook and maybe R2

(with dark side additionally: Krennic, Death Trooper, ShoreTrooper)

& Pao

are krennic, shoretrooper and deathtrooper not being classed as rogue one characters? Or is it LS only

Is it restricted to rebels from the Rogue One movie or to rebels aboard the one ship that went by callsign "Rogue One"? I'd call Foul if you leave out Pao and Bistan.

EDIT: Sorry, Pao was actually on the cargo ship.

Bistan was blue squadron, not on board the rogue one shuttle, but he was released around the same time with the rogue one toons when the movie came out. Wedge was released way before and biggs was a launch toon.

As far as I am aware, there is only one Rouge One mission in TB (as well as 1 Phoenix mission)
And also, I am quite sure both of them are Special missions.
