I was thinking about commander units when Clone Wars comes to Legion. Obviously we'll see units like Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Anakin for the Rebuplic. Dooku, Grevious, and possibly one of those command droids for the Separatists. But where do you think Clone commanders like Rex, Cody, and Gree will fall? Would they be a better fit as cheaper commanders or in the operative role. I feel that their command cards would fit nicely as a cheap commander to boost your fellow clones more than the trend of Operative command cards to benefit only the unit itself or in the case of Chewy tied to a specific commander. Anyway just things I've been mulling over in my head lately, I'm excitedly waiting for 2019/2020 to see the Clone Wars land on Legion tables.

Rex, Cody and the rest could probably just be generic clone commanders. I can't really think of anything that would warrent them being different ruleswise.

Maybe they could package them in with their Jedi Generals and give the Jedi Commander unit Palpatine's ability Entourage but have it affect that specific Clone Commander. Would be thematic, but presents the possibility of the Republic being able to field 4 commanders, unless the Clone Commanders are considered as Operatives for some reason.

I’d almost actually like to see Clone commanders and have the JEDI be the operatives.

I know now it’s not really how things were depicted in the show, but it makes more sense.

I would love to see everyone from the Prequel Trilogy era in this game. I am a huge Star Wars fan and collector as well. Although I feel the Seperatists are at a loss for named Commanders, Generals unless they immediately dip into Scum & Villainy. (Boba Fett) We have Darth Sidious, Count Dooku, Darth Maul and General Greivous as well as Jango Fett, from the films as named bad guys. We also see Poggle the Lesser and Wat Tambor (pretty much just screen time) Much like the Original Trilogy, a few true bad guys with the rest being force choked by Vader.

Now the Animated Series introduced us to a lot of bad guys. Ventress, Cad Bane, Hondo, Aurra Sing, Pre Vizsla, Savage Oppress, Pong Krell, Admiral Trench, Mother Talzin, Boba Fett, Bossk and Dengar again, and more that really didn't add to the war. Most of these were not necessarilly on the side of the Seperatists which would fall into 3rd faction quite early, unless this new season introduces us a new set of Seperatist villains that inevitably become Disney Star Wars canon.

Sort of doubt it will, it will likely just cover the Bad Batch, Utapau, and Seige of Mandalore arcs. I haven't watched them in a while, I think the Bad Batch had Wat Tambor as the villain, maybe Grevious for Utapau, and based off of hints we've gotten Maul likely for the Mandalore arc.

I guess they could add Trench to the group since he is one of the more memorable villains the CIS could pull from.

Both Jedi and Clones can be operative or commander. There are several times say Rex or Cody take on the leader role if the Jedi were busy.

But if its one or the other i would choose operative for clones just so I can play Anakin, Ahsoka, and Rex in s build.

Thinking through some more of clone commanders with all the input here: with the upcoming personnel packs they include a generic unit leader who could also act as your commander at another point cost, maybe this would be a good route to get the more we’ll known clone leaders like Rex and Cody on the table.

Use them as your army commander at one cost, or to lead a single unit taking the personnel slot. Give them a little boost in the personnel slot. Something like if Rex is your unit leader when that unit activates it gets a free 1 move action. Or a free aim token, something along those lines.

Well Durge was definitely a CIS commander...

First commander on a speeder bike would be sweet

Too bad he got memory-holed. He's about as likely as getting Mara Jade in.

I'd prefer they didn't do that considering that the clone commanders had rather different looks to them. I would love it if they packed them in with their Jedi generals as a two pack but if they need a separate release so be it, they could likely tie other units to them for releases like Cody having the paratroopers, Wolffe having jet troopers, Bacara having galactic Marines, and Gree having the camo scout looking clone troopers from Kashyyyk.
