Considering the game is set after the destruction of the first Death Star, I find it unlikely we'll see an Obi Wan Kenobi miniature, as he's kinda dead.

Would love to see one, but doubt we will any time soon.

I think we will get a campaign that takes place in a time period prior to the current one which would allow for characters like Obi Wan and Tarkin who I think are too iconic to keep out of the game altogether

Time periods are clearly something the game has already considered, so I have no doubt we'll see earlier periods eventually.

I really want more droids so I can make an all droid force! I especially want HK47! And I want him to come with a "meatbag" card that gives him extra Attacks against organic enemies!

Lando would be nice too. Could make some Cloud City stuff.

Speeder bikes would be cool but would likely face the same problems as Snowspeeders and AT ATs in that they are still too big. Sniper rifle equipped scouts seem awesome. Jawas and sand people seem likely.

Why would they be too big? easy could be a 2/2 like the nexu the bike in the SWM game were the same size as the Nexu in that game.. Snowspeeders were 3x3 in the SWM game why couldnt they be a 3/2 in this game?

Really, they could be 2 squares by 1 wide... On my End or map I have 4 speeder bikes glued down. 2 are from knights models and 2 from WOTC. Three of them I mounted diagonally and take up 4 squares (2 by 2), with the last oriented straight and it only takes up 2 squares (2 by 1).

No, they are nowhere near too big for IA, too fast maybe, but not too big.

I agree, they wouldn't be too big, but without a much bigger map then the ones we have, they are way too fast, to really serve a purpose in IA.

If this game was set up like typical games like 40k, or Flames of War, and you used a 3x6 foot table, then such a thing would make sense. But for IA maps no, and FFG doesn't design stuff based on size of custom home made maps.

As for Snowspeeders, there's no way they would fit in 2x3 squares. They'd need to be closer to 4x4 if not bigger. Then you once again have the issue of speed, and turning on a very small map.

I would not remotely be shocked if IA gets the Armada treatment in the future, and we end up with a game with AT-AT's.

Obi Wan's ghost miniature!

There are so many cool characters and expansions they can do i really hope we'll see not only an imperial campaign but a mercenary scum faction one as well.

I think a look to Cloud City would be nice, including interior tiles of Cloud City, both the residental side, and the lower industrial side. With that said, yes a Leia is a must, Lando...heck ya! Lobot, and Cloud City Guards. On the Darker Side of things, some more bounty hunters, like Dengar, 4LOM, Zuckuss, Bossk, and maybe some Misc Hunters to fill in ranks. Perhaps some more beasties as well, like Star Wars themed hunting animals? Imperial wise, maybe ISB Agents, and Imperial Army Troopers?

[EDIT] In addition, I know that he didn't make a long term appearance in the Star Wars Universe, but he did make a huge impact on Star Wars Fans across the world, so I'd love to see Greedo make an Imperial Assault debut.

As Raine stated, I'd really like to see our bounty hunter friends, Dengar and Bossk would be great filler and allow a Trandoshan tribal focus.

I'd like to see 4LOM and Zuckuss packaged together like 3PO and R2. It would at least make sense to me.

I'm fine with seeing them add more Merc characters. But I'd hate for a whole expansion to be nothing but mercs. The game is called Imperial Assault so it should focus on Rebels vs Imperials. Plus theres missions where you can't even bring mercs into... would be a total waste of the expansion every time you played one of those. And I don't like telling people how to play their own game, but I feel like it'd be silly if a mission was like 2 imperial figures and the rest mercs.

Anyways, what I'd like to see is an expansion that focuses on the sneaky/espionage side of Star Wars. An expansion that takes place on a populated world like Coruscant or Corellia. Featuring a spy hero or two, maybe pre-jedi Kyle Katarn as an ally. Imperial units could be storm commandos and ISB agents. The merc unit could be what Garindan's species is and the two new villians could be Guri from shadows of the empire and Emperor's Hand Mara Jade.

I think they're ruling out well known expanded universe characters. (See: Carnor Jax renamed Royal Guard Champion).

Did they ever state the reason why they changed the name? I assumed it was to imply that there was more than one Royal Guard Champion. Plus, was Carnor Jax in anything besides Crimson Empire?

Anyways, they could just rename Mara Jade something like Emperor's Hand or Dark Jedi if the name is an issue. Guri could be renamed Assassin Droid.

I believe Disney told them to.

Doubt it, since they have Carnor Jax in X-Wing. Disney didn't make them rename that.

it seems ffg enjoys less freedom with the e.universe in imperial assault. futhermore in the new Rpg book (the jedi one) much of the stuff already is referet to as legends and not e.u. anymore. (different from the other rpg books so far)

X-wing Carnor Jax was released before EU was shelved.
