Not sure if this thread has been made already. I watched Solo yesterday and couldn’t help but wonder what it would mean for Legion. We finally got to see a proper gritty battle in Star Wars. I would think that army troopers and At-Dt units would be a good addition. We also saw Tie fighters giving ground support. Thoughts?

No reason why Mudtroopers and Rangetroopers wouldn't be in Legion. Just a matter of when.

Also, they have room to throw in Enfys Nest's gang into the rebel ranks as well.

I certainly hope we see some Imperial Army units.

Yup. Despite trying to phase them out, non-Stormtrooper Imperial Army troopers still exist in the GCW-era and there's no reason stuff like the AT-DT wouldn't still be around, and I'd love to have an army of them. As for TIEs though...eh, I'd prefer not. Adding fliers to 40K was really the tipping point at which it became ridiculous for the scale of the models and the size of the board, even T-47s are kind of pushing it and only really get away with it because they're repulsorcraft rather than true fighters and they're teeny-weeny - by the time you account for the size of the model and the size of base required to ensure it doesn't tip over if you breath on it, genuine aircraft take up a huge amount of space and are really unwieldy.

Solo has so much Imperial goodness. Low "conscript" soldiers, new letherjacket wearing trech leaders, Mimban mud troopers, new heavy speederbikes. New walker. Viper droids.

Wouldn’t mind a commissar-esque low ranking leader upgrade card. “Get up, your emperor commands it!”

I'd love an officer that acted as a support unit.

The only viable option to add fighters to the game would be via air strike attacks like Leias bombardment (which I'm pretty sure is representing an air strike).

Yes please! I’d love to have Enfys Nest in the game. (Can’t let the Imperials have all the fun with cool new units).

As a staunch imperial, i dont see why not.
