I'll update this when new SKUs are announced/leaked.

Down to two:

SWL59

SWL60

Obviously the First Order and Resistance starter, resistance troopers, FO stormtroopers, and Hondo multi faction pack. 😜

New Vader/Luke?

SWL57 and SWL56

My first guess is Operative and Special Forces for both sides. Galactic Marines or Scout Troopers and Ashoka for the Republic and BX series Droids and Maul for CIS. These are the two unit types missing and all of these are on my wishlist. Maybe Jango as an operative first.

No to Jango.. Cad Bane before him. I would like to see Ventress before Maul.

They did say that there were more things to come for this year, but they said it was for the original two faction. At least that’s what I thought I heard.

I would throw money on Maul being the first operative. He was PT, CW, Rebels and Solo. IMO Movies and cartoon trump cartoon only, except for Ahsoka and Sabine whom Disney/FFG love.

I would like to see the opposite

Time will tell. If it weren't for the overarching aesthetic and theme of the Clone Wars (of which as has been said Jango and Maul were eliminated prior to) then I would say, sure. But as Maul’s resurrection and campaign, and into Solo, was about getting revenge on Kenobi and Sidious, it doesn't make sense here for this game, at least to me.

Your opinion is just that your opinion, as is mine of course, but in the design by Disney, there are no secondary (or tertiary) preference, it is ALL canon. The old legends tier system is no more. The movies of course give us lots of things, but it was the clone wars series that gave us memorable clones Rex after all was ALL clone wars. Let us not forget that Grievous started as a cartoon.

Are the paint sets included in that list?

Otherwhise special forces and operatives for clone wars feels logical.

Rex is in the OT. :~)

This is all our opinion, but IMO it is hard to argue that not all canon is “equal”, movies are Tier 1. The movies have the recognition of the largest audience. Geeks like us will watch all cartoons, read the books and comics, but we are the minority. My wife enjoys the movies but has paid a bit of attention to any of the cartoons and they have all played in her presence. Several of the local FFG players (X-Wing, Armada, Legion) don’t know anything but the movies and a general idea of the cartoon main characters that have characters in game.

I agree thematically Maul does not fit as well as others would.

So this seems odd to me because of release timing. I know FFG got set back a month because of some distribution issue, but for the remainder of this year we have:

Imp & Saddle, CW Core, Escape Pod, Bunker, Luke & Vader and presumably the other 6 things listed. That seems a lot for 1 a month release schedule when there’s only 5 months left.

AUG Imp & Saddle

SEPT Escape Pod & CW Core (I’m still holding out hope for August CW core release 🤞 )

OCT Bunker

NOV Luke & Vader

DEC 6 other units?

Even with the month they lost, that’s still a lot. Unless they meant for the scenario based stuff to be release with two units concurrently.

Either way, the next few months will get expensive. 🤑

CW core is going to be released early September so that might not fit into the typical release schedule.

I listed it in Sept next to Escape Pod. I think it’s going to be released concurrently with the older faction’s new stuff. In the new year, they’ll probably stagger everything to 1 or 2 units per month, but it seems like there’s a backlog right now. Not bad to have too many things coming out in these last 5 months as things get closer to Christmas.

Good Lord, I hope not. Besides my frequently mentioned distaste for those movies, introducing two new factions immediately after doing the same would be a terrible, terrible idea. Of course, this is the ST we're talking about, so terrible ideas would be incredibly thematic. (and yes, I'm aware you were most likely joking)

I'd bet the 4 SKU gap is a operative/commander bundle for each faction. Lando, Thrawn/the Grand Inquisitor, Ventress, and Anakin, or something along those lines.

But yeah, announcing what they did when they did and having it scheduled for next year doesn't make any sense. Not announcing stuff that's supposed to be schedule for this year makes even less sense.

So I guess we have 4 more mysteries solved?

Edit: I hope the other two Expansions are CW. We still have Luke & Vader coming for the OT. Since they’re coming before the end of the year, we’ll learn what they are sooner than later. 🧐 🤓 😊

I'd bet the last two are the Republic/CIS specialist packs to help put their corps units on even footing. It would also explain no article - we already know what is going to be in the pack, sculpts and exact points are the only things to spoil.

On that same vain, it could be Republic/CIS special forces (sniper/sab). If they want to put things on a more even footing, giving sabs/snipers would do better than the Specialists, but they will need to do Specialists eventually too.

It could also be two new commanders, Anakin and Trench/Ventress/Nute Gunray/whomever, or two operatives (Add Ashoka and Cad Bane to the before mentioned list) Both factions are still pretty bare bones, so they need help in a lot of different ways.

Three missing SKU:

Imperial Bunker

Mandalorians - GCW dual faction SF

Hondo - Imp / Separatist Op.

I don't think these are going to be SF just because the SF units are different enough to each need their own article and they have a lot of articles to put out already. Specialists would probably have just one announcement article.

As above I don't think it will be anything that needs individual articles versus just an announcement article. We've also got a second set of commanders on the way already, so I doubt we will get a third set before the other slots are filled.
