Anyone know if FFG is going to have multiple faction troopers? For example R2-D2 that could be used for clones as well as rebels. It would require 2 different tokens, one for each faction.

Well, R2-D2 and C-3PO are coming out next month, and can, in fact, be used by both Rebels and The Rebublic so...yes.

We are already getting R2-D2 and C3-PO and they come with 2 cards, one for GAR (republic clones) and one for the Rebels. So, yes. We are getting exactly what you used as an example. We currently do not know of any other announced models that are planned to be Dual Faction.

Sweet. Looking forward to them. I bought into Imperial Assault, but sold it off because I like the scale of Legion better.

Why do you care about factions and rules if you're only buying it for the scale?

DoEnt mean that he/she dosent also have faction pretences. People can have more than one reason to do a thing!! 😊

Considering the Legions stuff looks a ton better than the Imperial Assault figures, which would you want to play with? I can certainly use the figures for either game, but I am playing Legion now because of the ruleset and of course the improved figures and scale.

Of course, except for tournament play, you are free to mix factions. You could run Rex and Sabine and Kallus (Veers) againat Empire if you wanted.

Every time the multi faction unit question comes up in an interview, the devs mention Hondo Onaka. So I would expect to see him at some point and in every faction, but CIS, because “Dukoo holds such a grudge”.

I mean, if your opponent is OK with it, that's true, but that's a big if. I know I wouldn't play somebody mixing factions, but I also don't homebrew stuff and expect other people to take it seriously.

Hondo is also a popular character with the fan base of the tv series, so he’s a logical operative to add to the game.

Was thinking that Chewbacca & the Wookie Warriors should be able to assist the Rebels as well as the Republic.

Possibly see the Emperor lead the Empire or the CIS?

The mandalorian and Solo may give us a number of mercenary units that could be used for multiple factions
