what exactly is missing from IA? I'm doubting we will see much that overlaps the legion subjects. So no speeders and huge vheicals (at-at is likely the largest we will get) also I highly doubt we will see much scum or monsters in legion.

moon of endor

Ewok

rebels crew

dejarik monsters

???

Gungans

Zuckuss, 4-LOM, Sullustans (hopefully Nein Nunb), Scout troopers, Cikatro and/or Hondo. Those are the ones that spring to mind.

We may get pilots, like Wedge, more Imperial commanders, like Thrawn/Tarkin/Veers, or Yoda, but I'm really not expecting any of those so I wouldn't say they're 'missing'.

Where is Yoda? We're getting Palp so I'm not sure why we don't get the little guy?

I suppose if they are still sticking to the time period in terms of what they design and release (even if they have dropped it for gameplay) then Yoda's special abilities (act as backpack, hit robot ineffectively with stick) might not add much to gameplay

well, he could just give focus to everyone, and be auto-hidden all the time

Sullustans are the big one for me. I want one for one of my groups RPG characters.

Rest of the Ghost crew: Kanan, Sabine, Ezra, Zeb.

Rest of the Bounty Hunters: Zuckuss, 4-Lom.

Dr Aphra to complete BT-1 and Triple 0. Black Krrsantan too.

Like, so much is missing- far more than we have already, even.

If I had to guess, though, seems like Rebels seems to be something they're somewhat committing to, what with the smatterings of units that we have from it now. I wouldn't be surprised if we got packs to end it soon- maybe two per faction. Sabine and Zeb, Ezra and Kanan, Thrawn, Imperial Cadets (4 unit deployment group), Honda, and IGRM droids. Something like that.

Episode IV: Some Creatures of the Cantina could be made. Garindan, the Imperial Spy. Some of the Droids out of the Sand Crawler. Mon Mothma. Rebel Officer/Commander. Tarkin. General Dodonna.

Episode V: Tauntaun. Echo Base Officer. Rebel radar cannon. Lobot. Zuckuss & 4-Lom. Yoda. Piett.

Episode VI: Lot's of Aliens of Jabba's Palace. Admiral Ackbar. Ewoks. Scout Troopers. Veers. Nien Nunb. Imperial Dignitaries.

Rogue One: LOTS of cool Rebels. Black Stormtroopers, Imperial Soldiers. Krennic.

Rebels: See above.

And then it becomes time for the sequel trilogy.

Love the idea of some Rogue One content, but here's a thought-

Outside of Cassian and K2, do we really need any other Rebel uniques? Maybe Jyn and Saw, as they technically worked with insurgencies, if not the Rebel Alliance itself. But Chirrut, Baze, Bodhi? We saw the full extent of their affiliation with the Rebels, as far as I know.

Don't get me wrong, they'd make excellent minis, and as the Homebrew thread shows, they could bring some interesting things to the table. But even with IA's more laissez faire approach to canon recently, this seems like a stretch.

No attack support character: Yoda

Speeder bike and scout troopers.

Entire rogue one. Rogue one elite troopers.

Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru

I want Chirrut and Baze!

Super Star Destroyer!

(Oh wait, wrong game thread. Sorry )

If I were to get the following, I'm pretty confident I could see IA cease production and be happy with the choices I had available to play out my Star Wars missions.

Imperial: Scout Troopers, Death Troopers, Shore Troopers, Death Star Troopers

Rebel: Ewoks, remaining Rebels cast (including Captain Rex)

Merc: 4-LOM & Zuckass, Hondo, Ketsu Onyo (maybe)

While I'd like to see some Imperial Cadets from Rebels (for the sole fact they are a different looking unit to add to Imperial forces), I'm still a bit hesitant to see FFG make children a fighting unit in the game. Not sure they'd really cross that line.

I'm also of the opinion that Yoda is not really needed for the game's current timeline setting. I can do without him, honestly.

Mara Jade?

Kreel, SCAR squadron and Grakkus the Hutt would be awesome too.

I would like to have more versions of some characters (eg. Han, Vader), like we have with Luke. IF sometime from now IA would get back in time, I would like to have young Vader, like we have him in Star Wars Destiny.

Just some food for thought (and shameless plug)- last week I wrote an article based on a post here regarding what should come to IA.

Basically, to sum up the goal I had in mind- we need to think not only about what characters we want to see brought to the game, but also what those characters themselves could bring to the game.

Rogue One would be great and there's loads to go at between ROTS and ANH, but here's a thought....

Bothan spy based missions to steal the DS2 plans. Similar-ish to Rogue One but doesn't have to be limited by the scenes from Rogue One.

Mandalorians for both sides: Fenn Rau, Sabine Wren and Death Watch/Night Owls with the Rebels, and Imperial Supercommandoes under Gar Saxon or whoever takes his place on the Imperial side.

I wasn't surprised the the poll results show Zuckuss and 4 LOM having a lot of fans. 4 LOM should have preceded 0-0-0. Zuckuss has all kinds of potential for using hide, leaping squares, and deadly shots. I would like to see Mara Jade, just because I wanted her canonized. I would want her to be in as an Imperial. I would rather see Black Krrsantan than Cade Bane, but please, no Dr Aphra. Just no. I have no desire to see any of the Rebels crew, but I do like Herra, so she'll be fun to paint. The heroes in Imperial Assault ARE like the rebels crew. I really don't think Yoda should be included, but then I didn't think Palps should be included. It's a tactical, squad based game. Those characters are more suited for command games like Armada. Rex was great in Clone Wars, and if there is ever a prequel game, he deserves top billing, but I don't want to see him in Imperial Assault.

I think Dash would have been a good addition, but Herra kind of fills that role, so I don't think we'll see him. The only troopers we need to see, and really don't need them, but just for completion, would be scout troopers. Death Troopers and "shore" Troopers (what a silly name) are just Stormtroopers designed to sell more toys. Paint your elite stormtrooper black. I know people who have. We are straining credulity with the Riot Troopers. I would have liked to see Imperial Army troops, but I don't know what their function would be, especially with Riot Troopers making an appearance. And Sentry Droids may as well be Dark Troopers.

I know I'm in the minority but I don't want to see Ewoks. I didn't want to see Jawa and I would have never expected Ugnaughts to make an appearance, but they did. I think, just for the sake of meeting expectations, a Bothan Spy unit of two figures is probably a must. It would be fun to paint.

I don't agree with a lot of the units that you do or do not want, but it seems that you swing a little more heavily toward Legends, so I get that. I do totally agree about Ewoks, though. I'm not even an ewok hater (I actually genuinely like the little guys) but I just think they'd be silly in IA. Given the context of the game, we'd have to assume that any mission the Ewoks went on outside of anything that could conceivably be Endor would entail them having to have essentially enlisted with the Alliance. It's even sillier than Jawas on Hoth (at least they could presumably be scavenging on the old battlesite, or something).

Wookies already seemed like a bit of a stretch, but I really don't think we need Ewoks at all. More power to people who want them, though, I guess.

Nah, Ewoks would be awesome! If we can justify Tusken Raiders, and a Bantha riding one even, then we surelly can handle Ewoks.

4 Lom & Zuckuss are obvious. Nein Nunb seems obvious.

I'm fine if they stay away from Rogue One since all the good characters died. I'll probably have some more obvious characters to add once we get the Han Solo movie.
