Giving Cara the Rebel Tag is a Mistake

Salacious_B_Crumb

She was a rebel as in past tense! This would be equivalent to putting the Jedi Tag on Darth Vader or Count Dooku. They may have been at one point sure, but they are no longer jedi. Not once in the show is Cara a member of the Rebel Alliance and she should not be in game either.

TAZZZOOO

Hmm. Cara is Rebel but Rey isn't a Jedi?
Are there any CG employees who actually watch star wars?

LordDirt

They just put whatever tags they want and leave off ones they don’t like as well. They make it up as they go.

If Cara is a Rebel then Fulcrum is a Jedi...
On the other hand, it could be interesting to see what she does with the faction. A strong addition to CLS means R2 or 3PO freed up for other teams, so I'm not against it. And there may be more for Rebels and Empire somewhere down the road.

It's even more laughable when you take into consideration:
1. Her capabilities.
2. Things she said.
3. Her inevitable role.

Rebels are short on good tanks....it's a common sense decision for balancing of the game. I'm sure the **** retentive people will get over it, lol.

They are describing her as a rebel and scoundrel. The more tags she has, the better. Could have rebel, scoundrel, mando tags.

Jarvind

Seriously, what difference does it make? Don't use her with Rebels if you don't want to. Y'all dingdongs will complain about anything, I swear.

Darth Vader was never a jedi. When Anakin became Vader he ceased being a Jedi and rose a Sith. I don't remember if Dooku was a count while a jedi though.

In case anyone's wondering (and I know that you are), Dooku was not a count while he was a Jedi. After he left the order, he returned to his homeworld where he reclaimed his title and heritage as a nobleman. Source: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Dooku

If they apply faction tags in a way that's consistent with other characters, then she shouldn't have the Rebel tag. But personally, I think the more tags the better. Gimme options!

You mean trying to balance power? Lets just give Malak, Revan and Traya Jedi tags as well.

Umm sounds like she stopped being a rebel when rebels stopped being a thing.

So shes still a memeber of the rebel alliance... it just stopped existing and she went to use her skills elsewhere.

Pretty sure rebels became the new republic and ditched their soldiers.

So again her last faction was rebels. She even says former imperials view her as one and dont like her

Darth_DeVito

She kind of recommissioned herself when she took up the fight against the remnants of the Empire on Nevarro. And she was certainly a member of the rebel alliance in the eyes of Moff Gideon.

WiseJedi

So basically it's alright with her Rebel Tag. C3PO got his Rebel and Resistance Tag too even tough there's no Rebel. But it's a History Tag and suits perfect for synergy with an Rebel-Team.

Sort of like how GL Rey isn’t a Jedi

Nihion

Oh no! Guess it’s time to stop playing.

MasterSeedy

One toon got a faction tag that is arguably, but not undeniably, applicable?

SWGOH has jumped the shark, will have no players within a week after Cara Dune is released.

I dislike them taking liberties with this kind of thing, it's like if they gave Vet Han and Chewie the Rebel Tag. It's not accurate at the time the character is portrayed. Plus as a general rule I don't gear rebels in this game and I really like her character.

So the character that fought remnants of the empire in every episode we see her in could not possibly be considered a Rebel?

Great point. 3PO and R2 weren't GR, rebels and Resistance at the same time either. But it kind of fits since they seamlessly blended all 3 factions together as they became the property of Bail Organa when he created the Alliance from the remains of the Galactic Republic, and later were under Leia's command when she transformed the Alliance into the Resistance.

All sorts of No lmao. Fulcrum is not a jedi. Let me refresh your memory

Ashoka: Then I will avenge his death...
Vader: Revenge is not the Jedi way...
Ashoka: .... I am no jedi!

Maybe they know something regarding the direction of the show and the character development that we don’t....

YaeVizsla

There are multiple valid ways to interpret characters and their tags.

Just because they go with one you disagree with doesn't mean they're making a mistake.

“I don’t gear Rebels, but I like Cara. Get rid of her Rebel Tag.” Sound logic.

I hear Luke’s a good character, but Rebel tag, so eeuuggh...

It's not like she has any other usable tags explicitly mentioned in her kit. Like, say, Scoundrel. And it's not like there are good multi-tag characters who can roll with more than one category, making them flexible and useful as the game's lineup develops.

No, best to just delete that Rebel tag. :P
