Im sure that this has been that topic of many threads, but I Just wanted to get a flavour of what the community thought. It doesn't necessarily have to be one.

For each faction I would choose:

.Scum: Bosk and Regular HK droids

.Rebels: Alliance rangers, Echo base troopers and Jedi Luke

.Imperials: Agent Blaise and captain Terro

I don't have all the sets, including Jabbas realm, so my opinions may change in time, so this is pretty much what it is for now. You can into more detail if you want, or you can keep your answers short and sweet.

Cheers for reading.

My favorites figures for skirmish... hmm.

Rebels: Davith

Mercenary: Vinto

Empire: Um. Idk. Royal Guard Champion? I don't play empire much in skirmish lol.

Not much into empire either, but they do have some good pieces.

The times I've played Empire, I like to use Vader. Yes he's expensive, but he can pummel enemies and with an elite Imperial Officer to "suggest" interrupts for him he can do just a bit more. I usually support him with two units of stormtroopers (elite and regular).

As I only play in casual games with some friends and my kids, I find Vader usually receives most of the attention just because everyone wants to take down Darth Vader.

I'm very much a casual player as well, I only play with my brother. Ive never played Vader, but my brother has. I think had he been cheaper he actually wouldn't have been too bad, but regardless of his price he does look like a lot of fun. Hopefully he will be even more fun with HOTE coming out.

Wow my first post on the IA boards. Lol.

My faves are:

Rebel - Obi-Wan (a beast when not dealt with early)

Imperial - New Vader (a beast full-stop.)

Scum - Greedo (Doesn't matter what happens he'll get a shot in.)

Rebels: Hera. Call the shots is fantastic.

Mercs: Greedo. GIA. Slow on the draw is pretty fun/easy to play around, and Parting shot is great.

Empire: Blaise. I don't play much empire either, but I still think Interrogate is arguably the most powerful skill in the game.

I really love the Junk Droid. I even bought a small Astromech from WOTC and painted it to represent my Junk Droid. It is in each of my lists since it came out.

And I loved the Stormtroopers. I hope they'll see a comeback. Stormtroopers are amongst the most iconic Star Wars characters (for me).

I really like Obi-wan as well, granted he's slow, but he can really tank a lot of damage, and dish out tons too.

Yep, Hera is fantastic, I have her in nearly all my rebel squads, and more often than not in my scum squads.

People really do love greedo, I should really get my hands on him. I should have also mentioned that I do actually like trandoshan hunters, I know they are over costed, but when I only had the core set they seemed great because of all the damage they could dish out, and whilst I think there are better units, I dont think they are actually too bad if you can get them close enough to the enemy.

Imperials: Who are they? :-) I like the Inquisitor and Terro, but I'm psyched about Vader, Palp, and those lovely AT-DPs.

Scum: RANCOR!!!! And Onar. Occasionally Shyla.

Rebels: All of them! Chopper, Hera, and sigh, yes Jedi Luke (don't hate me).

I assume your a big fan of rebels haha. Im pretty excited about the sentry droids if im being honest, and the AT-DPs look great.

Oh, and don't worry, I think we all like to indulge in playing some jedi Luke...

Shyla is my favourite Merc. Her combination of whip, armour and sword is too good to resist! Vinto's dual pistols are a close second.

For Imperials, I really like the Inquisitor for representing a lithe, dangerous Sith.

Davith is my favorite Rebel for his darting around slicing stuff up abilities.
