It would give the game somewhere different to go with factions.

Jedi Starfighters (Civil War era survivors)

Sith Infiltrator (Inquisitors and stuff)

And you can crossover existing pilots like Luke and Vader into the Jedi and Sith factions in the same way Boba Fett is available to both Empire and Scum and Villainy.

No probably not.

I think they could have been if the game had been designed differently from the start (I'd've done light side, dark side and neutral personally) but now, adding a nerw set of factions would be too much I think.

No.

The factions in the card game are subfactions: the main factions are Light and Dark.

The three factions in X-wing are all opposed to each other. Adding a fourth means adding a faction which opposes Imperial, Rebel and Scum forces. I'm not sure a candidate exists for that. Pretty much everything fits into those three.

You could do them as subfactions a la Resistance and First Order but there'd be little point: the subfactions are little more than a change of symbol.

The Inquisitorius is a branch of Imperial Intelligence.

Technical the light, dark and mandalorians function as three main factions already. You could without much trouble add republic ships to the light side and separatists to the dark side, while adding more scum to the … well scum.

Right not the first order is a subfaction of the empire, now the empire becomes a sub-faction of the darkside or sith … this would work.

The bigger issue is that separatist ships have ships which should be at 8 points or so with their cheap droid fighters and I am not sure if the game really can deal with a swarm cheaper than the tie fighter. So the separatists would e basically a game balancing challenge.

The factions aren't Light, Dark and Mandalorian, they're Rebel, Imperial and Scum.

Trying to shoehorn in the Clone Wars factions would present the problem of there being no continuity of factions from the Clone Wars to the Galactic Civil War: the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance are both formed from elements of the old Republic.

Textbook Scum.

The Republic and the Separatists don't fit neither the Empire or the Rebels (or Scum).

They are their own thing - and if added, should be completely new factions.

Now thanks to the invasion of new Star Wars films, I think we are (forever?) safe from the Prequel factions.

One problem (outside of the management of another faction) may be the number of ships available, based on canon material.

There might be a significant number of ships from non-canon sources, but I think Disney will choose to use the ships from upcoming movies and tv shows like Rebels. Wave 10 seems to reflect that.

I would like to see a Sith Infiltrator eventually make it - especially since it's been on the toy aisles in different forms.

Easy enough to shoehorn into Empire.

None of the hardware ceases to exist between the Clone Wars and the Imperial Era. It's the factions that don't fit: the ships are easy enough to shoehorn in if they're weathered enough.

The first order is based on New Republic support as well and the main faction within the New Republic seem to be centralist (imperials) and separatists. In control of the military of the old republic during the clone wars were the jedi, while the sith controlled directly the military of the separatist. Similar can be said to some degree during the galactic civil war, especially with Ahsoka as high ranking Rebel leader … even when she technical left the order.

If you look at the EU you see as well the constant conflict in the galaxy between three codes. The jedi, the sith and the mando's, always present, always changing, always the same.
