So every game I’ve played with my clones, the clones end up with only a few minis in each left or a few one-man units. My Obi-wan is usually at full health or one damage (by turn 5) and just tearing up the backfield. I really want more Jedi in 2020 an if not in the Republic faction, where else? I would love to have the generic commander as a Padawan and even a Operative Jedi. Having 3 Jedi in one list is a dream for me, and a nightmare for my opponents. 3 Jedi, each with Force Push.

Even the generic Commander Padawan: 4 health, 2 courage, 2 move, Jump 1, Deflect, Charge, Immune:Pierce, Red defense, no surges, 5 black lightsaber with Pierce 1, Impact 1, 1 Force slot, 1 Command slot all for 50-60 points, would be awesome.

FFG may I have some more Jedi, please sir.

I think we will get an anakin commander or opeartive easy. I think there will be plenty of Jedi for the clones

I want General Skywalker and definitely Clone Commandos.

True and Anakin will probably be the next commander for Republic, but I was hoping for something that isn’t 200 points. But I’ll make due. Even 2 Jedi would be scary (for my opponents 😈 ).

I think the generic commander for the Republic is more likely to be a Clone commander, there's so many named Jedi, I doubt unnamed Jedi are a high priority for FFG. For Padawans, there's Ahsoka, Barriss, and Caleb Dume for named commanders.

I mean some stuff is obvious. Anakin as a commander and possibly as a operative (padawan miniature?) Yoda as a commander.

Some of the more prominent Jedi as operatives Ayylla Secura, Kidi mundi etc.

a generic Jedi commander might be an option. Give people scope to kit bash their own minis.

a generic special forces jedi force. With potential to upgrade with a named Jedi commander like the Jedi operatives above. I’d like the option to take the option of running the names Jedi from the box and run them as operatives or commanders, like how commanders can run independent sniper teams. Adds more variety and value to the box.

possibly using the new counterpart system like R2 and C3PO to have a master padawan set like the upcoming Cassian/K2SO.

there’s so many named Jedi that we might not get them all in the short term but I think FFG knows how people are looking forward to them that we will see quite a few. Third party and conversions will fill in the gaps.

as long as I get Mace Windu, I’m good

”THIS PARTIES OVER!!”

Ohhhh YES!! Mace! With Vaapad. Soooo cool! 😎 🤩 I cant wait to see what Vaapad does in game.

I would like to get

mace windu

Yoda

anikan with ashoka counterpart

anything else is just a bonus

So I Imagine arc troopers and clone commandos in some form most likely as special forces as elite infantry and seal style commandos respectfully. And I suspect either wookiees or the blue robed Senate guards will round out special forces.

Not really sure what other heavy they will get nothing comes to mind maybe the Naboo Gian speeder

Support is another tough one but probably those cannon walkers from clone wars or the naboo flash speeder (even though I hate technicals).

Corps wil probably be the galactic marines who will play similarly to the fleet troopers and snowtroops the slow heavy infantry.

Actually, i hope they're done with clones. That's easily the most boring aspect of the army. Give us Jedi, Naboo security forces and their skimmer, Republic Honor Guard... Etc

Since I already typed up a long winded and hopefully detailed opinion piece on what units the Republic needs, I'll just leave this right here:

https://butsuppression.blogspot.com/2019/10/republic-musings-pt-ii.html

As for named characters, I'd be shocked if Anakin wasn't next on the list, followed by either Mace Windu or Ashoka. The first two would make for great commanders, while Ashoka could easily be an operative or commander.

As for generic commanders, I'm not sure why the Republic can't have both, and get a generic Jedi Knight commander along with a generic Clone Commander. That would give the Republic flexibility in how their army is structured, and follow the theme I think they're going with for the faction, that of expensive jack of all trades units that get their flavor from the commander(s) picked.

I just want Plo Koon.

Worlds exclusive mini.

i kid, I kid.... man there was some serious Plo salt in xwing boards lately.

On a serious note, my 2020 republic wish list:

Commander: Anakin

Operatives: Ahsoka, “Fives”

SF: Arc troopers or something outside the normal clone range (wookies, 3x Jedi minis, something not spammable)

Support: Syndulla’s insurrection forces as mounted creature troopers

Wild Card: I still want that Hondo Ohnaka operative that is available to all factions as the first neutral mini

Long term I want to see more Naboo stuff.... the speeders, the security volunteers, Padme but I get those all come later on.

This isn't super likely since FFG doesn't tend to include a significant number of spare parts in their kits. Unless by "kit bash" you meant "pick options provided in a single box to make the model look different" as opposed to the typical definition of "use parts from lots of different kits."

People have already been customizing the Legion minis with parts from third party manufacturers, with some amount of arm and head swaps between some kits.

I'm also of the opinion the GAR generic commander is going be to a Clone and the CIS generic a tactical droid. Especially if they follow the designs of the GCW generics, allowing them to be embedded in squads as extra trooper upgrades.

I meant in the hobby sort of way of people customizing the mini using third party parts, bits from other SWL minis, green stuff etc. I definitely agree that there will be a clone generic commander but there would be a lot of interest around a jedi one so I think FFG will consider it.

Yeah, but you don't NEED a "generic" Jedi to do that. You can do it now and just use the rules for Obi-Wan or whatever other named Jedi they come out with. Same way I use a Hera model with Leia's rules, or some people use Lando models with Han's rules. FFG is still going to want people at a certain competitive level to be using the "official" generic Jedi model regardless, so proxy/kitbash whatever you want as long as you make it clear to your opponent it is X character.

Wonderful review!!! Most excellent and most agreed.

Still want LAAT though. They can make one work. Scaled down or so.

Do we think the Republic will get some cheaper Cores?

Or even (odd as it sounds), cheap specialists?

I'm thinking something to fill the ranks like Naboo Security troops , or Scout Troopers from Kashyykk, Jedi Operatives (Knight+Padawan team), or Gungans ?

In term or republic army's organisation I am not sure any jedi, even a Padawan as Ahsoka, should be an operative. The must be all commanders. But of course if applying the rule of "Entourage" we can easy have a Jedi master with a Jedi apprentice filing only one commander slot.
