If they want Darth Maul in the game (which they do, he's incredibly popular) they will put him in the CIS, just like they did in X-Wing.

I tend to agree with this. No, we never saw Maul directly fight with the CIS, but he's Darth Maul. They're going to put him in the game. Sooner, rather than later. I completely see and agree with all the counterpoints, but I think getting a fan favorite on the table outweighs canon semantics.

A morale bubble in a large based unit that additionally difficult to remove changes the points benefit if the morale bubble. Plus, vehicle command covers a bigger section of the battlefield with their order bubble, and the commander rule would need adjusting/circumventing with a "Vehicle Commander" rule.

It would absolutely need to be factored into OOM-9's cost.

A larger command range and morale bubble would be very strong, although FFG could make it range 2 for each to mitigate this for Vehicle Commanders.

Or they could keep the Range 3 and make it more of a risk/reward. After all, the enemy will have no trouble seeing the AAT too, and it'll be a higher priority target.

Zam Wesell would definitely be my first choice for a bounty hunter Operative. I know she's kinda lame in the movie, but she was always a favorite of mine. I would love is she was put in the game down the line.

Oh to imagine what Clawdite Shapeshifters could do in Legion...

And they can quite easily include Maul as he is depicted in canon during the Clone Wars as the leader of the Shadow Collective, which among other things, overthrew the leadership of Mandalore replacing the pacifistic Duchess, returning Mandalore to the warrior culture, wanted to defeat both the CIS and GAR, and kill Darth Sideous. This is a canon faction Maul and his brother Savage Opress led, consisting of various criminal organizations including the Deathwatch, Pyke syndicate, Black Sun, the Hutt clan, and the Nightbrothers.

Darth Maul was trained by Darth Sidious (which technically broke the rule of two). The separatists didn't exist back then but Dooku definitely did and Maul was considered as an assassin of Dooku and Palpatine.

What's your source? I'm seeing that Sidious didn't completely turn Dooku until after Maul's "death" on Naboo.

**** I messed up, yes, ignore my post you're right 😄.
I was convinced Dooku was turned before Maul but when I checked my book it told me otherwise.
