Does anyone else think having Baby Yoda (The Child) just shown on IG-11 and not as any kind of playability a huge missed opportunity??? He doesn't even have any kind of abilities or actions tied with IG-11's kit or anyone else?!?! The amount of people that would go nuts over The Child, Whales and F2P alike. Hoping that he was gonna be the next Legendary character after the release of IG and Kuiil, but now it wouldn't make sense if he's already sitting on IG's chest and then a new playable character. This was just such a let down. Also not a fan at all of having IG-11 and Kuiil being released through Galactic Challenges. A 2 weekend long, drawn out marquee event for each character for more forced interaction with GC's. Definitely not the best new playable content that's been released.
I swear I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer and only want to complain in this thread. I LOVE the game and want to keep playing for years to come, I just wasn't happy with the latest decisions made with these last few characters.
Thanks for your time!

who's to say they dont have more plans for him.
This is similar to everyone asking for Jedi Luke at the onset of the game. This is less of a swing and a miss, and more of a setup for the long game.
Per other fictional settings, races with long life spans do not necessarily age as humans, just scaled up. For example, elves still reach maturity in the same number of years as humans, but their later lives are significantly longer/only ended by trauma/injury.
For all we know Yoda's species could be infantile until age 100, then rapidly progress through adolescence in 50 years, and spend the other ~350 in an adult stage. It hasn't been announced in cannon, so speculation is futile.
For the sake of argument, how is this different than Vader fastballing his lightsaber into innocent little Wickets face? Plus the little guy is 50!
Innocent little Wicket was an adult warrior who tried to cook and eat the heroes. Nothing to do with a baby.
I look forward to being outraged when he’s added in 3 years, and being upset that he doesn’t have the rebel-errr-mando tag
dont forget, it will also be with what should have been the Mace rework kit, but they needed to get him out, ya know before the game di...eerrrr, while the game is still popular.
So you are a fan of shooting kids though? Never heard you complain about Ezra (15) or Ahsoka (14).
Hello panic farms.
There is a slight difference between a teen and a baby. There is also an intent part of it, those 2 are putting themselves into the situation, the child is not really there by choice.
C-3P0 isn’t there by choice. He’s a droid forced to obey and he is extremely afraid of and dislikes confrontation.
And let him vibe out in his little pod.
Problem solved
who is he forced to obey? he seems to willingly follow people into where ever, without any orders to do so. but he is also not a child or a baby, so that is a whole other conversation.
The Child lifted a huge beast in an episode and force choked Cara Dune in another. It is similar to when people think animals are just innocent and then get mauled by it.
Yes he can be dangerous after being put into a situation. Much like a wild animal being cornered or out into a situation they dont want to be in.
He did not go into those situations on his own. It's also hard to say if be knew the mudhorn would be killed. He could have been doing it just to save his friend.
I think that it’s similar to the clone troopers. Built and programmed to be compliant and obedient.
When he runs after R2, saying where are you going....he doesnt seem to be obedient, he seems to be going on his own.
Similar protocol droids can be rude and exhibit other "independent" thought processes.
Hermit Yoda can be targeted and attacked.
I’d say that R2 is different from 3P0. For instance, they sell 3P0 to Jabba as a slave worker without 3P0s consent or awareness.
Baby yoda GL confirmed?
Nobody here is a fan of shooting at babies in real life (I hope). There is a significant distinction between real life and a mobile phone game though. Maybe I'm a huge ****, but the idea of Baby Yoda getting shot at by Droideka on my phone screen doesn't bother me one bit. It's no more real than when we see Baby Yoda in peril on the tv show.
Now I don't ever expect CG to add this character, specifically because of the baby thing, and I don't really care one way or the other. I'm just pushing back on the argument that there is any real moral problem to including the character in-game.
