Ahsoka is a fan fav. And a lot of people watched and enjoyed clone wars. Unless we ll get into the whole what is a fan fav debate or what to watch to make one a fan fav. I really enjoyed the imperial trooper update but I have to agree with @BradGoodyear - every empire toon, rework has been over shadowed by something else.
Kren- sith faction
Imperial trooper - r2
Tarkin - new snips.
Also I understand why Ahsoka is anti dot and not complaining about zader fix but - he's the achievement character why so much anti- Vader?
Almost certainly a similar event to what CG has been doing for every new toon besides R2. Fight some easy battles, unlock at 3 stars then have an option to buy packs.
Yep. So Ahsoka will be right with the Phoenix squad....at 3*, level 1 and no gear at the bottom of most rosters. Lol.
You can add R2 in that list for me. I know that he has other uses in other formation but I refuse to farm, gear or level up any other rebel I will receive in the game including any future rebel Luke.
I'm excited for the new Ashoka, I don't know why everyone else is complaining. Who cares if it's another rebel? It's not like the new rebels they release will have synergy with the other rebels. For example look at the Phoenix squadron, they have no synergy with baze, chirrut or wedge and Biggs.
3 Reasons
1) It does nothing to shift the meta...and it virtually guarantees that the meta will stay Chaze + 3.
2) They could have released a truly "new" character (Thrawn, Kallus, Revan, Jango, Padme, Mother T) but instead, we get a reworked Jedi who now doesn't have the Jedi tag.
3) It's lazy. A release of Jango, for example, likely would be accompanied by a bounty hunter faction pass. Thrawn, perhaps, a new capital ship or some ship reworks. Mother T, a Nightsister rework /pass. But instead it's just "throw another Rebel out".
I'm not angry, just disappointed. I hope the event coming up has had much more work put into it than this "new" character.
4) we were promised a "fan favorite" and got an older version of a hated character that appears in an even more hated spin off show that nobody above the age of 5 watches unless they have kids that age.
WOW. Lmao. I was kind of 50/50 with all the comments I read, but this right here is the mentality of a hater that thinks he knows anything about Star Wars just by watching the movies. Let me tell you something.
You. Are. Wrong. I was also expecting it to be Thrawn, given the fact that the transmission tease was directly connected to him, but I was obviously proven wrong. Let's leave that aside. Saying that Ahsoka is a character that nobody likes, and only "5 years olds" watch the animated series is equally id io tic to saying that people hate Obi-Wan.
i love ashoka so i'm really excited about this. also we don't know how much damage that attack does, she could hit like barris (and 11 times barris = 1 rey)

The show fell flat for me and for a lot of other people. TCW was okay but not my favorite. However I enjoy a lot more Star Wars than just the movies, the old EU was fantastic. This show however just reeked of Disney puke. And I don't find the animation all that appealing. Just because Disney scrapped everything that wasn't theirs and made Rebels canon doesn't make it good or bearable. Everything they got rid of was 10x better than anything they've put out so far. And in the spirit of fairness I'd binge watch Rebels before I watch TFA again. Maybe. If my life was in jeopardy. And even then I may choose death.
I see some common threads as I read through this, so imma speak to a few.
Her Event
They describe the event to unlock her as a "Marquee Event", which is the language they've used for new releases like the Sith, Pheonix Squadron, and Gar Saxon/ISC. They said they are unsure if she will follow the (now) standard release cadence. So we still don't know exactly when we'll see her.
"zomg more rebels?!"
I can totally relate on this...there are 28 Rebels. As NRAJ talks about on the show, though, it makes sense since the majority of named characters are Rebels. The main thrust of much of Star Wars, and certainly the original trilogy, was about a Rebellion. In game, though, it does get to be a bit much.
"no one likes ahsoka unless you are a diaper baby and she's stupid and thrawn is the best"
While I understand that Thrawn is very popular, I think perhaps you are underestimating Snips. While, yes, she was very annoying in CW Season 1, Ahsoka quickly grew on everyone and became one of the highlights of the show. Just because you loved the Thrawn Trilogy when it released 20 years ago, there has been a lot of Star Warsing since then.
"rebels is dumb. clone wars is dumb."
I will wholeheartedly disagree. Rebels gets a bit filler-y to me sometimes, but when it is good, it's great.
"but what about [Revan/Thrawn/Mandalore/etc.]"
Hey, until I get Darth Traya, everything will be a little disappointing to me.
I'm curious what the event will be...what toons wil we need and what toons do we fight against to unlock her? The podcast doesn't really go into the specifics of that.

The old EU has too many things that are a bit too much for Star Wars. Kind of like the Ones from TCW. People living for 100 000 years? Abeloth? Palpatine reviving 984129841 times? Luke going to the Dark Side? It's a bit too much. I do enjoy the Old Republic era, but the rest is just...
Also you didn't say anything about Rebels. You flat out said "Older version of a HATED character". This wrong on too many levels.

Lots of named characters that aren't Rebels out there. If they'd watch something that isn't SW Rebels they'd probably see that. An entire trilogy exists that takes place before the rebellion and with the addition of nihilus there's plenty of non canon to touch on.
Almost certainly a similar event to what CG has been doing for every new toon besides R2. Fight some easy battles, unlock at 3 stars then have an option to buy packs.
Yep. So Ahsoka will be right with the Phoenix squad....at 3*, level 1 and no gear at the bottom of most rosters. Lol.
You can add R2 in that list for me. I know that he has other uses in other formation but I refuse to farm, gear or level up any other rebel I will receive in the game including any future rebel Luke.
So you won't gear and use the toon you got because of your empire team??
Anyways, yeah too many rebels. It has to stop now. Its not a great idea game wise to keep adding characters that counter the so called "faction pass" when they are not even done with it.
Rebel Ahsoka is an awesome character, but in this game there are soooo many choices! She dosen't even have phoenix tag. If she had that she would have a better reason to be in the game.
Rebels own this game and its only because of the rogue one movie release (mostly) lol
They give us Gar Saxon and Imperial "droid" commando, when they could give us thrawn with actual good abilities instead..

How cares what you do?
And thrawn is not a fan fav...
Can't care less about something in an book..
This is the same silliness as "can't care less about something in a cartoon".

*This space left intentionally blank*
i love ashoka so i'm really excited about this. also we don't know how much damage that attack does, she could hit like barris (and 11 times barris = 1 rey)
good point but if it isnt barris damage and its like regular ashoka we could have a serious damage dealer
I'm curious what the event will be...what toons wil we need and what toons do we fight against to unlock her? The podcast doesn't really go into the specifics of that.

I just want to see the opinions on her and her ability that can let her ATTACK UP TO 11 TIMES
You are not listening carefully. She consumes all buffs on her and for each one she attacks, BUT those buffs MUST be different. So if she consumes 7 HoTs, she will only have 1 bonus attack. She needs to consume Tenacity up, HoTs, Crit up, Offense up for 4 bonus attacks, If she has 1 more buff, it will give her 5 attacks and so on.
I'm curious what the event will be...what toons wil we need and what toons do we fight against to unlock her? The podcast doesn't really go into the specifics of that.
They'll probably give us next to no notice like they did with R2. We could assume it will be Empire or Sith. But who knows. Could be open to all. And none of the other factions make sense.
NRAJ discussed this around the 50 minute mark on the show. They tested it both ways, and found that even with the Pheonix tag, her kit didn't really fit with the team.
Also, in the show, while she does hang around with the Pheonix Squad, she isn't a part of it.

I was thinking that it since they made the announcement with the Fulcrum message thing from Rebels that maybe we have to use Phoenix Squadron...but very few people have those toons beyond 3 or 4 star. I got them all at 4 and never bothered much to gear them since I can't Star them up at all

Also this is just like Assajj not being sith - Its a game let them have som better use

What are u doing CG!?!
Kren- sith faction
Imperial trooper - r2
Tarkin - new snips.
