There is another "fan favorite" due next month...there aren't many left imo.
TCW fans would want Mother Talzin.
We r all waiting on Jedi Luke.
Revan is also a possibility.
Now, they could give us Thrawn, Krell, Hondo, Inquisitor, 8th Brother, Darth Sion and Darth Traya (w/ Nihilus they were the triumverate) etc...but I don't think those could b classified as fan favorites

Why is noone thinking c3po? Seems to make a lot of sense to me going along with r2.

Jango would make the most sense. Think of how little time and effort it would need. Change boba to be blue and white. Done. And the crowd goes wild!
Thrawn is a weird one....yes he can be classified as a fan favorite...but in my shame i admit until i kept seeing his name on this forum i had no clue who he even was...now that i have seen him in action on rebels i love him...something about his always calm cold calculating attitude that just calmy screams evil...
That being said i guess it depends on EA/CG's definition of fan favorite. If they go from the forums then yes he is the definition of fan favorite...if the go by the mediocre to casual star wars fan that really only watches the movies...then he is more likely completely unknown much less a fan favorite...

Most Star Wars fans who were over the age of 10 during the 90s know who Thrawn is and adore the character.
That trilogy had been the only decent Star Wars story outside of video games and RPGs since '83. It saved the franchise, maintaining enough popularity for George to attempt the prequels.
Star Wars fans who watch Rebels know who Thrawn is.
I would argue the only Star Wars fans who don't know him are either casual consumers of pop culture or those for whom the prequels are a reference point.
We literally JUST got R2. We already have a Luke out there.....but we have two Han and Kenobi heroes already so, it's not like it can't happen. I would guess later. Not in the next several months. I would LOVE to be wrong about this though.

Sorry to disagree, but on this point, I have to. I was an avid Star Wars fan in my 20s in the 90s and until I started reading these forums about 15 months ago, I had never heard of Thrawn. A few months back, I even emailed some friends about the same age - all Star Wars fans. One had heard of him, and new was Empire - but that was it. "Most" and "adore" are projections of your feelings about him.
It could be him - but I think calling him a "fan favorite" along the lines of R2D2 is a real stretch and wishful thinking.
In game name: Lucas Gregory FORMER PLAYER - - - -"Whale blah grump poooop." - Ouchie
In game guild: TNR Uprising I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

The Thrawn trilogy is one of the best of the EU. Many people were hoping that the trilogy would have been made into episode 7-9. It would be awesome to get Thrawn, but we just got Veers reworked.

No need to be sorry!
I don't feel as strongly as some others do about Thrawn, for what it is worth, though I do like the character and would consider him one of my favorite villains.
Many people seem to think that "nobody has heard of him" and I would argue otherwise, is all. I feel like that is projection, much like people who say "nobody watches Rebels" or whatever. I would say more people are familiar with Thrawn than they are with Revan or the guy from the Force Unleashed games. People are definitely more familiar with Thrawn than with Gar Saxon, and we have him (I'm happy about that too, btw).
Not everyone plays video games and not everyone who plays mobile games plays computer games, etc. We can all have a different experience of the franchise, and that is an amazing thing.
That said, you missed out on some great reading at the time! The new Thrawn book is very good, but doesn't carry the same intensity as the Heir to the Empire books.
Yeah I'm finishing up the old trilogy to then read the new origin story. Hope we get him. Would love him, Vader, Palp, Veers and a reworked Tarkin for Empire upper management squad.

My bet would be the next raid, and that wouldn't be until the end of the year.

Thrawn is most definitely a fan favorite.

I would like to have Jango.

Right. Still, Thrawn is canon again thanks to Rebels and the NEW Zahn book!
