Thank you so much Guys

I have dug out my old star wars encyclopedia and as many of you have suggested there isn't much left.

This is what i got:

Sand troopers - almost storm troopers but i think there is enough to make them a bit different, maybe courage 2?

R2D2 and C-3PO hard to put them in any category maybe like the personnel expansions only smaller.

commander Jir - this is the guy who was standing behind Darth vader when Leia was objecting that she is on a diplomatic mission in ep. IV ( he could be a cheap commander)

Dewback and Tauntaun they could be released at the same time as supports 2 per unit (this is my pick of the day, they would be cool)

Obi wan as an operative

Garindan as the imperial spy in epIV maybe some kind of specialist .

Grand Moff Tarkin and Admiral Motti as commanders

Probe Droid - have no idea how would one use it within the game

Major Derlin - commander for the Hoth troopers

Hoth Troopers

Master Yoda - very old he is (still could be used as an operative maybe)

More Bounty hunters : Bossk, 4lom, , IG-88 , Zuckuss

Lando, Lobot and the Bespin guard (after the freezing of Han they would most likely side with the rebellion.

Imperial fleet troopers was a good suggestion as well

Ohh and the endor bunker as a scenery or objective would be nice

Well that's it ... there is no more unless we go for Ewoks

Of course as a few people pointed out that i should look at the minis as they come out ... i can see breaking my own rules if anything cool in the heavy vehicle category comes out.

Thank you for all the responses.

What about the Mk2 blaster cannon? It's the Maxim like thing the rebels use on Hoth.

They made those for D20. That's the thing, anyone who says "almost everything for the GCW is already out" is wrong. Everything we really need to do homages to the main ground battles is out. But the list of not-released is bigger than the list of released.

Doing a google image search, I'm pretty sure that's the Z6 now.

I think it all depends on what you mean by "Ep 4-6 only".

Because if you want to be extremely narrow, you could say Rebels only have one heavy weapon trooper option in the Sab from the Commandos because I sure don't remember a Mon Cal sniper running around Endor nor do I remember a Rebel wielding an Ion cannon or "Uncle Gazpacho". Heck, I don't remember any Duros running around for the Rebels either so I guess you better be happy with a 4 figure Rebel Trooper unit.

Now, if your head canon can wrap itself around all of those figures being "slightly off-scene" or "deleted scenes from the cutting room floor", you open yourself up to pretty much anything GCW era that FFG releases.

Don't like Rogue One? It's pretty much a deleted scene from E4 that was just replaced with the opening text scroll.

Rebel Pathfinders? A bunch of them got dropped off in a U-wing. Who's to say they didn't get a successful evac pick-up before the data archive got Death Star-ed?

In the end, it's your game. If you want to focus on the GCW era, I'm sure there will be plenty of options for you that appeared in the first trilogy alone but don't discount other units that may be released that appeared in the era but were from a film/property that you didn't quite enjoy (like Solo from your first post). Instead, think of it as an opportunity to write your own stories with these cool looking Star Wars themed minis.

Regarding the Pathfinders...anyone who saw the movie. That U-wing gets shot down, and the planetary shield doors closed, trapping everyone. Then the Death Star vaporized the facility, presumably killing everyone on the planet with the enormous tremors. I would have preferred that our heroes escape to fight another day, especially since I liked them in the movie, but there it is.

No, the Z-6 is the rotary blaster cannon the clones use: Z-6 Wookieepedia

The gun I wrote about is still the Mk II. Although there is no Wookieepedia article "confirming" it I can provide a Canon Source, the Battlefront 2015 website. Just check out the text on the blaster cannon:

Blaster Cannon

The Mark II is a deployable blaster cannon that uses devastating firepower to keep the enemy at bay.

Yeah, it looks like a Z6 on a tripod.

3 of the best pilots in the galaxy are already in the game.

2 of them come in the base box.

Cool. As soon as Jek Porkins and "Pops" Kavil and Garven start swinging lightsabers, force-chocking people, let me know.

@Zrob314Yeah, almost. The Z-6 is actually a minigun whilst the Mk II just has a cooling shroud. Looks very similiar though.
