I am sorry if I missed something but do we know anything about my favourite EU character?
Kyle Katarn 2.0

We've not yet seen him, but seeing as Jan and the Scum Hwks pretty much kept their abilities, I'd be shocked if Kyle Katarn changed in much of any way.

Maybe a Force Rating?

Possibly! His ability may also get arc-locked like the others.
If Kyle doesn't have the force, that's fine because at some point that's accurate. If he does, that's pretty cool because he'll likely be Initiative 4, (lowest 3) and have something Jan at initiative 5 does not have.
I like that prospect a lot. Makes him really relevant.

This is what I’m expecting. The majority of HWK pilots received that clause, so I doubt Kyle will be any different. But with the Moldy Crow Title, that’s not a bad limitation.
I’m not sure the chances of Kyle getting force powers are good. Other Force Sensitive characters like Corran Horn have been shown without. It would be cool if Kyle did get force powers, but i’ll be satisfied with an arc bound version of his original ability.
I think he'd be great with 1 force. It will make him more competitive with Jan and therefore more likely to see play. Allowing him to use his force point to change eyeballs increases the utility of giving away his own focus token. At the very least he won't feel like he absolutely needs to take Recon Specialist (whatever the new one is called, can't remember offhand).
