@Crabbok made a good video on the topic and I thought why not share it here. Do you agree or disagree with some of his choices? I think that Yoda who is known for his ability to see the future might allow you to change dials if you need to or maybe even reduce the amount of dials that a ship has in exchange for a high points cost. Also no matter what ship General Grievous is bundled with I hope he is allowed to abandon ship in his starfighter Souless One.
It’s only just dawned on me that Old Ben never got a card for the rebel faction. Wonder why...?

They're waiting to release the death star, against which he'll be very useful.

And his upgrade will definitely be a discard... too soon?

I think that it's because he didn't formerly join the Rebel Alliance, he was a part time contractor.
I predict Obi Wan Kenobi is gonna be a core admiral of the fleet.

I think if General Kenobi was going to be a Republic Commander, we would have heard or seen something by now...

How could he be? He died in that first film and these other films were made like 20 years later.

The Old Space Wizard get out eh? That's such a lazy plot twist JJ Abrams would be ashamed to use it.
I've seen all of the major arcs of Clone Wars (and seen the movies, of course), and I have to admit that I still don't have a good grasp on who the key players are for this era, beyond the obvious: Grievous and Kenobi. I know of Tarantula Man (Admiral Trench, I believe) and the Droid commander who popped up in Rebels , and the younger Yularen, but that's where my knowledge kind of runs out.
Just give me Nute Gunray on the Trade Federation battleship and I'll be happy.
Watch Nute Gunray end up as Konstantine 2.

For CIS:
Count Dooku
General Grievous
Admiral Trench
Nute Gunray
Lot Durd (I might have name wrong, but he faced off against Anakin as commander of a fleet. Anakin rammed his ship in and gave command of the last Ventala to Ahsoka)
Wat Tambor (metal man)
Kalani (Super tactical droid)
Kraken (Super tactical droid)
Aut-0 (super tactical droid)
For GAR:
Skywalker
Kenobi
Yularen
The Jedi with the metals eyes who is a sort of mentor to Ahsoka
Any other Jedi
Probably a few clones I forgot about

Finally watched the video. No big surprises, but glad to see Yularen and Tarkin being included in the discussion as Republic Commanders.

Probably these guys for the CIS

(also probably some droids)
For the Republic there's so many options. Each Jedi could be a commander. Multiple clones, even a few senators?

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Republic_High_Command
They really have a lot of content to feed from in terms of characters. Capital ships may be more tricky.
Crabbok did a great job covering all the expected Clone Wars Commanders.
My predictions are that Anakin Skywalker will be the Commander in the Venator cruiser expansion; General Grievous needs to be released sooner than the Subjugator/Malevolence ship expansion (which will be Wave 3 at the earliest), so he should be in the Munificent star frigate expansion, which will presumably be released in Wave 1. I think Admiral Trench will be in the Providence destroyer/carrier expansion in Wave 1 or 2. Count Dooku can probably wait until the Subjugator/Malevolence expansion.
Galactic Republic:
Separatist Alliance:
I think the Clone Wars will run out of canon ships before it runs out of canon characters as Commanders.

I believe you mean Mar Tuuk , the captain of the Lucrehulk battleship blockading Ryloth in the "Storm Over Ryloth" episode of TCW.
Lok Durd was the fat Neimodian general (voice by the Great George Takei) who tested the Desolator tank on Maridun in TCW episode "Defenders of Peace".

I believe you mean Plo Koon . I believe he's more likely to be an Ace pilot of a squadron, probably the Delta-7B, than a Commander because he was depicted in at least 6 episodes as an ace pilot, whereas I only recall him depicted commanding a Venator cruiser once, before it was destroyed by the Malevolence. (Twice if you count the rescue mission he led to rescue Anakin and Mace Windu from their crashed Venator.)
No supreme chancellor Palpatine for the republic?

He could have multiple versions. A boarding team type that does a bit of sabotage somehow and an officer card.

No. All that dude did was get captured. Now that Darth Sidious character... now there was a guy that played the long game. I’d love to see him as a Separatist Commander.
2 minutes ago, ISD Avenger said:No supreme chancellor Palpatine for the republic?
Perhaps Chancellor Palpatine could be a Commander in a later expansion, like Wave 5+; but I think we'll see Palpatine as an Officer sooner than that. Or possibly as a "VIP" token for a "Hostage Rescue" Objective Card.
Same with Darth Sidious: Probably a Separatist Officer first and possibly later as a Commander. If the Subjugator is a huge ship, it could get multiple Commanders, like the SSD, and Darth Sidious could be one, along with Dooku. The pairing of two Sith Lords in the same huge ship expansion would be wonderfully thematic!

Fingers crossed! I have a Mandator IV model (that I use as an SSD proxy) and Super Star Destroyer already, so the Subjugator would be the final feather in my cap.
