Will we ever see official stats for Villians and Heroes from the Star Wars universe? WEG Star Wars d6 used to have them, and this edition has generic villains in the back of the book, but will FFG ever issue official stats? (i.e. Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Luke and or Han)

There is Lando Calrissian in Jewel of Yavin pg. 11!

Keep in mind, it mentions in the description for his statblock that he only has the stats needed for the purpose of his adventure.

It's pretty unlikely we'll see official stats for major roles. Those sorts of things tend to spark nasty debates. I could see where others find a use for them, but I personally don't see a need for them.

I think we'll see light stats on a as they are needed to tell stories basis. But not full on stated out NPC's like the old books used to do.

I think most of the people who want to see those full stats on named heroes and villians are like my son, he wants to know when his Mon Calmari pilot/gunner is better than Han Solo... After all, the last thing you want to do is have them kill Vader with a handful of dice that give all Triumphs and Advantage with no negatives or on the other hand get Leia killed by rolling epic fails.

If you stat it the players or dumb luck can kill it and some characters are more important to the plot to let that happen to them. If Skywalker needs to die then he will die. If he doesn't need to die then he will survive.The same with Solo, Organa and others.
