Which toons don't care about speed (too much)?

There are the usual suspects like JKL who drags the enemy down to his level or Droideka who gets more dakka the slower it is. Nest cares more about tenacity/health than speed because she counters everything to death.

What are other toons that either don't care about speed, benefit from lower speed, or for whom speed isn't the most crucial stat when modding? In this last category I slot GMY under JKR lead, since GMY will get a ton of bonus turns from squadmates, so while speed is good, offense is better. I also put most Imperial Troopers here, because once Starck starts the turn meter train, you keep going until everything is dead.

Perhaps there are some unexpected toons who shine in the right squad and don't need an uber speed set.

    Gmy is still better with speed than not speed. Whilst offense is good, taking 2 bazillion turns is also very good.

    Someone like cwc under padme can be good if slow and thick as hell; build a nuke.
    Can also have a slow NS Zombie if little buff removers on the other side, her taunts just last forever (doesn't work with taunt ignorers though).

    I don't have malak, but given he gets a ton of bonus tm when hit (critter?) speed would seem less of a priority

    Droideka and Thrawn can benefit from not adding too much speed. Droideka because he needs to stack charge, and Thrawn because the slower he is the longer fracture lasts.

    GAS (with 501st)
    Resistance Trooper
    B2
    Vet Chewie
    Geo Soldier
    L3
    Zaalbar
    Rebel Fighters depending on squad comp

    Regarding Droideka, some do mod for speed to get damage immunity first. Easy to get it over 300 speed with it's unique.

    The whole Separatist Droid team can perform quite well without speed. Droideka needs at least a bit of it, but going with zero extra speed isn't the worst idea. Magnaguard can get away with it since he stealths everyone forcing the opponent to hit him (and then getting taunt because of it), B2 needs zero speed thanks to the unique, Grievous can use speed but health is far more important. Really only B1 needs speed but if you don't have it he's still assisting every attack anyway so it's not a big deal.

    Add in the extra TM from Grievous and B2 and you're totally fine with a slower team. You could even sub in Nute (who does work better WITH speed) to add in the Extortion buff which slows the opponent down (and with his zeta makes everyone do that much more damage)
