Not sure if I’ve missed out on something but anyone know what the go is with the blurred imaged posted by CG today is?
It isn't necessarily a Legendary, though it COULD be (most likely isn't). There is something new coming though and we will know on Wednesday what exactly it is and when it is coming. Most speculation points at:
Jango (with Separatist rework + Geonosis TB) which would lead into Jedi Rework (Mace, Kit, Plo, Eeth, etc) and is connected to ROLO in that Jango would be the "ROLO" of the new TB.
Another one is of course Revan due to the emergence of the Neutral tag meant for T3-M4 which was confirmed by TopHat to be coming in the next update (I'd assume content update), as it is useless at the moment. KotOR's release in Europe was also right on September 12th, so that would mark an anniversary. Revan's appearance would lead into Ebon Hawk, possibly Malak, Canderous, Carth (other KotOR 1 characters and then KotOR II with The Exile and Atton and all).
The third would be Jedi Luke, with a tie to the ROLO login hint and being extremely overpowered of course. I find this one the least likely, especially due to the recent release of Bastilla and her scheduled release into farmability for F2P players. Bastilla basically revived the Jedi as a team and Jedi Luke would most likely have a leader ability, therefore negating the need for Bastilla.
I find Jango to be the most likely from both the image and timing, though I would much rather have Revan and KotOR characters.
Its a picture of the new legendary hero. I reckon they will bring it slowly into focus to tease us.
Just one thing I want to clarify here. There's a bunch of pixels and a date, no mention of Legendary or not. The reason I mention is because while we are well aware of the concerns around too many Marquees, given how long we plan stuff in advance, it doesn't mean we can immediately start releasing non-Marquees, so I'm certain some people will expect certain things to be Legendary that may not be. All I'm saying is, we are hoping to create some payoff for the long Marquee grind soonish (but not like very very very soon™ if you get my drift).
uhhh this doesn't seem to be updated since the second teaser, but it really seems to be jango. The other pic looks like a Mando jetpack and shoulder/arm.
And like Kyno said, we dunno if marquee, legendary, or something else.
Of course, if Jango is a BH Legendary, then it's not a "payoff" for the recent flood of Marquee events. Since none of the new BHs are farmable yet, a legendary BH would be most accessible through the original Bounty Hunters.
It would be a way to have a legendary Jango, while remaining true to the quoted statement above.
An entire lineup of new Bounty Hunters is cool, but releasing all of them as individual marquees is total garbage. Hope there’s some sort of plan with Jango, guys. @CG_Carrie

Why was this not part of its own dev thread on the subject?
If she saw the community working itself up for a legendary event thinking CG finally heard us on too many marquee characters, why did she just respond in a thread and not make general statement.
This could have defussed a lot if it were widely known

I wonder which will cost more
