A regulation 800 point army may have up to two operatives. Currently, both factions only have one each.

For this reason, I don’t think the first round of releases will be “complete” until two more operatives are announced, one for each faction.

So, with that said, seems like Lando and IG-88 are likely candidates from the OT. Tho, I’m not sure if the empire needs another bounty hunter. If we add Rogue One characters, seems like Cassian would be a perfect operative, likely also giving the bounty keyword to the Rebels. Not sure about an empire operative from that movie, tho.

Besides operatives, seems like we’re overdue for some more heavies. Again, an 800pt list allows for up to two heavies. However, I don’t think the same logic applies in terms of the game not being “complete” without them. It may not be ideal, but you can run the two heavy limit with two AT-STs or two Airspeeder. Obviously, you can’t run two Bobas or two Chewies.

I would think that, seeing as how there is only one SKU unaccounted for, that it is something that wouldn't be for just one player. Possible items could be some sort of card pack that is useful for both sides, some sort of terrain objective pack, or maybe the starter box for the Clone War.

My hope is for the terrain pack. Something like Luke's landspeeder would be awesome.

A non combat vehicle seems unlikely

Transport usable by both sides?
Objective and terrain all in one?

It’s an open air car that’s already a junker by the time of Episode IV. Beyond the problem of what miniature would go inside, and its sole association with a character already in the game; why would we invest points in an unarmored transport that can carry, maybe 4 people?

I could see the Rebellion converting such vehicles with heavy weapon emplacements on the back. Not that I want to see that vehicle in the game, mind you, but there are things that could be done with it.

We've seen almost that exact thing in-universe. The Naboo forces in TPM had them.

A faction-neutral vehicle?

How about a RotJ style skiff.

Up to two speed-3 movement per turn. Can transport up to six (?) trooper minis. Controlled by any leader in base contact with the controls. Maybe climb/clamber rules to get on or get off. Light cover.

If the vehicle is targeted and is destroyed, everything aboard it dies. If no one at the controls sits motionless.

I've never watched the prequels, so I wouldn't know, but that makes the idea more viable at least.

The Occupier is actually a tracked "tank" (it's really just an armed flatbed based on the Alvis Stormer). While I'd like to see the Empire's actual repulsor tank (of Battlefront fame) they may just omit it in favor of allowing the Republic forces to be a bit more distinctive considering they're already a force comprised almost entirely of proto-Stormtroopers.

First, great name. Second, the Occupier came in two variants the one in Rogue One is tracked the one in Rebels is a repulsor tank. It would actually be interesting if they gave us the option to run one or the other.

I'm just assuming they'll opt for the Rogue One version (since it's a bit more accessible and prominent than Rebels)... now they probably could feature tracked/repulsor in the same kit with plug in pegs much like the AT-STs weapons, but I dunno if they'd bother. Wouldn't mind a transport version if it came to that.

I'm hoping for some sort of Cargo upgrade slot that could have various effects. A shield generator, personnel module, etc.
