Will we see a Hoth Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie?
What do you think the likelihood of seeing major Hoth-themed lightside characters in the upcoming sets?
We know there will be a Rebel Han. The others, I'm not sure.

Pretty sure the next set will have either a Dagobah Luke or a Dagobah Yoda. And we know we're getting a Rebel Han, just not sure if it will be this pack or next pack. I assume they'll leave out Chewie because his first version looks to hit in the Deluxe set in July.
My guess is Dagobah Luke this pack, Rebel Han next pack.
How do we know we're getting a rebal Han?

In one of the FFG preview articles, they mention a rebel version of Han will appear in the cycle. It was in one of the paragraphs at the end, I don't remember which preview it was.
Han - Yes for all the reasons already mentioned.
Others - Who knows? We know Rogue 1/2 will be in one, but honestly I'd be surprised if we see another Luke. Leia is possible I guess. I would also be shocked if Chewie gets another version, given his first version is in edge of darkness.
The Rebel Han was announced in the Escape From Hoth announcement.
I'd like to see a Rebel pilot Luke. His big thing in the battle on-screen was running around wrecking a walker on foot after his speeder got shot down, so howabout this: he can be played at a discount as a vehicle enhancement, adds 1 unit and 1 objective damage, and when the attached vehicle leaves play, he reenters play as a character (with the damage icons, capacity and force bubbles of the Jedi version, but no targeted strike or unfocus on opponent's turn… maybe Elite instead).
I was looking at the back of the Dark Time box and that seems to have a Rebel Han pic on it, which I thought looked like pretty cool artwork.
With regards to new other characters, at this point I'd rather not see new characters within their current affiliation, without some new mechanics to really flesh them out, so with a possible Jei Luke maybe one that gets stronger when you hvae the force, to supplement the Self Preservation pod from Dark Time, that way making Jedi Training a pretty good matchup with him, which'd be pretty thematic.
