Really... of all the Characters needed in SWGOH... another Chewbacca

Okay... just going to say this. I love Han and Chewy, but this is getting silly. It's actually making me start to hate the site of Chewbacca. Let's recap, Clone Wars Era Chewbacca, Vanador Chewbacca, Veteran Chewbacca, Constipated Chewbacca, Christmas Special Chewbacca, Drunk Chewbacca, Hairless Chewbacca, Broken Arm Chewbacca (from TFA.) Okay, I might have exaggerated a little there. But, we need another Chewbacca like we need a whole squad of Ugnaut variants, a Legendary Rose Tico event, or another in-game currency. Give it a break people... move on... there is so much more to explore in the SWU. How about a Maz character that functions like a Hoda and buffs Resistance? Even though I hate TLJ, at least give us a squad of Snoke's guards... since their each unique and have a different mechanic. How about Hammerhead or Wolfman? How about a Bib Fortuna or a Jabba?

It's one character. Let the folks that wanted him enjoy it.
I think veteran smuggler Chewbacca IS episode VII Chewbacca.
In what universe would Jabba be a good idea for SWGOH? I’m thinking more along the lines of FLAMETROOPER!!!!!!
I do agree just a bit, tho... SRSLY EA?! Y NO REVAN!?!?!
Veteran smuggler Chewbacca is from episode VII, The Force Awakens. Same with veteran smuggler Han.
Who would win: Them, or the all Han squad? (raid han, cap han, st han, vet han, young han)
People complain.
The game gets Rebel Chewbacca.
People complain.
Yup. It's the SW:GoH forums.
I hear you, but honestly, he could be a legendary like a HODA for Scoundrels or Bounty Hunters. I think you could do some awesome stuff with him. But hey, to each his own.

Honestly, i think everyone will be happy this event wasnt revan. Depending on how they handle his release, it could be a handful of atypical character requirements plus a lot of the new characters that most people are still farming.
And it's totally just my opinion/crazy theory, but since there's been so much talk about when revan is coming, whether he's light side/dark side, and so much development of characters that fit the timeline, i think they're gonna launch simultaneous events... 1 for a light side revan and 1 for dark side... double the character requirements
I'm casting my vote for them.
What possibly, maybe even probably could be coming after OT Chewie?
Maybe, just maybe there’s a plan in place.
We are not in want of generic mooks.

but it'd be OT Chewie and Raid Han, they are the iconic pilots of the Falcon.
Why not just let ppl like him have their day?
Part of the issue is this "differing versions" of characters/ships - some of which are literally from the same movie (how exactly is Raid Han NOT from the same movie as either Stormtrooper Han (Episode IV) or Captain Han (Episode V)?) Or worse, why don't they just name them by movie? That way they can release 9 versions of R2.
People wouldn't be "clamoring" for OT Chewie or OT Falcon if they had released Chewbacca and he could pilot the Falcon.
It's simply CG/EA goofy methodology to create false scarcity and an unlimited amount of "new" characters...even though we have 3-4 of the same characters.

The game is designed by game designers. The question of what tags do you give someone is a legitimate one. There needs to be a clear baseline answer. Having an answer is more important than what the answer is. Leaving it nebulous leads to too much arguing in and out of house.
They did not choose episode model. They did not choose eternal model. They chose the snapshot model, and it solves a bunch of design problems like having to go back and give Han the Empire and Imperial Trooper Tags when Solo came out and his backstory was revealed. And once that standard is established, you can have specific cases where you fudge your own rules, like R2.
Characters change. Pick a single unified representation of a character and you can leave out a huge and important other aspect of that character elsewhere in the timeline. Such as perhaps the least objectionable alts, General Kenobi and Old Ben. Pick one or the other as the unified Obi Wan Kenobi depiction and you're leaving out something important. You can say they took it too far in the specific case of Han and Chewie, but the underlying decision is fine.
And it's not like they'd ever be at risk of running out of characters. There are current product lines they haven't even tapped yet. They can put out the characters just fine for the life of the game and still something will be left out when the servers shut down.
