So aside from the obvious what characters and allies and enemies from the movies, books, comics, rpg's, video games, toys, ect would you like to see and in what card type? Do you want Chewbacca as an ally or as a character card? Do you want allies like Rogue Squadron commander or actual names like Wedge Antilles Rogue Squadron commander. (I really hate the LOTR allies like wandering took and keen eyed took, id much rather have merry and pippin lol)

So yeah what do u guys want, ill put what i want later. :P

I would really love to see stuff from the original Thrawn trilogy of EU books. I am sure the first couple of years will be spend on the original movie trilogy, but I think the EU content is perfect for a game like this.

The Thrawn trilogy is at the top of my list as well, honestly i want as many EU characters we can get both within the classic trilogy era AND the new republic era. I think judging from how Lord of the Rings LCG takes its characters and allies and enemies from the whole lore of the books that we will get to see EU stuff. By using the EU there is really no limit to the amount of scenarios and characters ect that they can provide us. To me it doesnt make sense to just limit the game to only movie characters and only from the classic trilogy. I mean theres plenty there and it will be awesome to see the stuff from the movies. But it will also be great to go beyond and really enrich our decks.

I've been thinking about this question on and off since this thread was created. I totally agree that Thrawn, Pellaeon, Noghri and other Zahn characters are definite must-haves.

Another character I just thought of this morning is Kyle Katarn, and I'm not talking about the Jedi Knight. Before his Force-wielding days, Kyle was an expert saboteur and I think he'd make a great addition to this game because the mechanic is centered around completing discrete missions against the empire. My question would be what type of deck to put him in. Part of me thinks he'd be good in Rogue because he really is a freelancer at first. But when it comes down to it, his espionage and intelligence-gathering abilities should really put him in the Operations decks.

EDIT: In response to your comment about card types, I think there is so much SW lore out there that it's a shame to use characters like Kyle Katarn on cards and call them generic names like "Saboteur." I think they should try to fit in unique characters as much as possible, and where unique characters are unwarranted, the artwork should depict a generic character and not a specific one.

Katarn has always been one of my favs too, also loved Dash Rendar and my fav non main was Corran Horn. Katarn is great cuz hen can bring his enemies roster in so we can get to see Jerec and his Dark Jedi and Sith Spawn. Kir Kanos and Carnor jax from the crimson empire would also be cool and as ive been currently reading through the X-wing Rogue Squadron books and graphic novels id love to see the rouges and Baran Fel in the game as well.

 Oooh, Dash is a good choice too. I'm really interested in the Rogue decks and it'd be cool to have him in there. Speaking of Corran Horn, I'd love to see Mirax show up, or her father, Booster Terrik , especially with the Errant Venture -- nothing beats a red Star Destroyer! Well, maybe some things do, but a red Star Destroyer on a Rebel team would be pretty awesome!

well if we want alliance star destroyers then an eventual dark empire set right after the Thrawn Trilogy sets would be great. We would get the Emancipator and the Liberator, and lets not forget the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya. But i dont forsee the Lusankya on player side for a very long time.

 I wouldn't be opposed to having cards based on characters from books.  But for me, nothing will ever compare with the original movie trilogy.  That's all I really want.  I want original characters, ships, locations, etc. and then the rest can be nameless and generic for me, like nameless wookies, nameless stormtroopers, nameless droids, etc.  

But whatever happens, I'm sure this game will be awesome.  I have been impressed with how FFG has been able to get so much game content for LOTR from simple passages in the book.  The entire Carrock expansion is about a paragraph's worth of writing.  So I imagine the same will happen with this game: places and people that are named but not really seen will be a part of the game.  

I hope they do. From the demo footage it looks like the first mission is getting the DSI plans to the rebellion, now i saw a han solo card and Admiral Ackbar card, Han didnt join the rebellion till heck after Yavin and closer to Hoth. But Han did hook up with the rebels shortly after, so i guess thats why hes here, but I would really really like to see an early Kyle Katarn as he was the one who stole the DSI plans.

But it seems like they r tryng to throw a bunch of big name movie characters into the game early, like Ackbar, if u go by darkhorse then Ackbar didnt join till after Hoth, if you go by the newer Force Unleashed stuff then he was already a reb by FU II.

Still it was an odd choice to have Ackbar instead of Jan Ors or even Crix Madine.

Yeah, timeline-wise it is kind of a weird choice, but it really makes sense for a starter set. I think they need to include as many movie characters as they can to attract/please a broader audience. I'm sure we'll see Crix eventually, but Ackbar's "It's a trap!" is pretty iconic so I can see why he may be popular enough to include in a starter set. I'm not gonna be too strict on the timeline with this game. If I want continuity, I'll read the novels and comics. For a game, I'd rather have unique combinations that could never have happened and see what would have happened.

yaeah i can understand too, but like i said it would still be awesome to see other big name characters, like Kyle Katarn and Dash Rendar, Xizor and Jerec, i mean Dark Forces wold make an awesome couple of force packs.

Dark Forces Force pack 1

Destroy Dark Trooper production facility

main character Kyle Katarn

enemy theme deck

Dark troopers phase 1

Dark troopers phase 2

Dark troopers phase 3

General Moc

Ally Jan Ors or the droid he had.

Dark Forces Force pack 2

Valley of the Jedi

Main character Kyle Katarn Jedi student version

Enemy theme deck

Jerec

Sariss

Bok

Gorc and Pic

Yun

Maw

8t88

Rahm Kota as an alley or Morgan Katarn or both.

Maybe they could include them in main pack line or maybe make them special like tournament decks or something. Still it would be very cool to play them in this awesome coop style card game.

 Totally! Those would be awesome packs to add! I'd buy them right away. Dark Forces was an excellent series. I hope they do include those characters eventually.

 Okay, I've been thinking about Dark Forces now, and one of the parts that left the biggest impression on me was the dianoga sewers and that made me realize that dianogas would make awesome Imperial deck characters. They'd be especially nice since I think there will be a lot of stormtroopers, so creatures will be good to mix it up.

On that note, Wampas in the Hoth packs and Mynocks that reduce the resources that ships can generate would also be neat additions.

Im positive that everything we saw in the movies, dianogas, wampas, mynocks, Sarlacc, and even Wamp Rats and Jawas will all be in the game. What im basically saying in this thread is what characters and Ships, creatures ect, NOT seen in the movies would we like to have in the game.

My answer to that of course is anything and everything we have seen in games, books, ect lol. Ultimately im sure ill love whatever they put out, but hey were fans we can at least let em know what we wanna see lol.

 Of course I want Chewbacca and Lando, and I hope they aren't one per set, so I'd need to buy three core sets to have enough copies so that I can be happy. I would also appreciate it if we can have a version of Chewie and Lando for each of the four different Factions/Spheres/Colors, whatever they are called. 

I'm also partial to BoShek, my favorite unnamed extra in the whole trilogy. Runner up: Cliff Claven from Cheers, but he might have been a named extra. 

I might also like Ewoks. Scoff if you must, but their Anti-Mech defense is the finest I have ever seen. Can you take out two AT-ST walkers using only wood and rope? Neither can I.
