Interest choice in game design. I would love to hear thoughts on people who don't like it or are bothered by it.

What's not to like? Scum needs Uniques, and these guys all fit the bill.

I think we're in the same camp here, I'm just looking for people who see the downside.

As a purely skirmish player who sticks to just rebels I have no reason to buy it. Ffg has been coming up with complete misses when it comes to the box expansion heroes for skirmish except for gideon, mhd19, and davith. The rest are either way too over priced or don't do anything well enough to take. Now we get 3 good priced heroes with good abilities and low and behold the rebels don't get them...

Boba Fett got a new card! And he's a Woman now! Seriously. She is exactly what I dreamed he would be. Give her a ranged attack instead, exchange cleave with blast 1 and theres a perfect Boba.

First, I really really like this design point. And I just want to point out that the announcement article in August let us know they were campaign rebels and skirmish scum. It's easy to miss but it's in there

Second, scum needs more variety and actual choices for unique figures. Rebels already have enough for now and imps are in a strong place overall, especially with zillo technique. This is the perfect and most logical expansion to really flesh out the scum faction. All I can reliably predict that is left to come out for scum is Zuckuss and 4-LOM. I know there will be other stuff for scum but this is the high water mark for the foreseeable future most likely. Which leads to...

Third, rebels and imps are still getting some strong units this wave (I think Luke and the dewbacks have some real potential. And the elite jet pack troopers may be good depending what they can do, and alliance rangers are definitely not bad and may lead to some really interesting lists). And the next expansion will likely be flooded with rebels and imperials, and likely be very low on scum.

So where does this leave scum? Now they have jabba, these three, bossk, Greedo, rancor, nexu and bantha as well designed single figure deployments. And four of those nine are in this expansion/ally packs. That's huge! I'm so excited and hopefully scum becomes a much more represented faction in competitive play

I am mainly a Rebel player because I like to field heroes, and this will definitely tempt me to try out Skum for a while. They are by far the most interesting faction, and now they'll have lists for people like me who want uniques. This is going to be a fantastic expansion.

As for Rebel heroes, it's true that some of the best are in expansion packs, but you also have Luke, who is a staple in a lot of lists, as well as Diala, who can work well in some lists. But mostly, Rebels are stacked overall with uniques and it's great for another faction to get to have units like this.
