I don't have any issue with CG creating a character from thin air, just as long as they add to the lore. He's not a main character, but him just "being there" on Endor would be pretty lame. A couple of cut scenes and some Kitty pool depth is definitely called for.

(Resistance) General Leia Organa should have been the GL anyway
So then resistance would have TWO GL's and rebels would still have none?
You mean like Jedi have two GLs?
Technically, Jedi Master Luke is just Jedi, whereas Obi-Wan is Galactic Republic
Same with the Sith, but whereas Sith Eternal Emperor is just Sith, Lord Vader is Empire
No thanks!
What is GBA and 50R-T’s lore?
To be fair though, GBA is a nameless drone from planet where these sorts or things are common and honestly, who cares about 50rt? I don't have her geared up, most people don't. I never see youtube videos or threads talking about how amazing she is, and I certainly don't see anyone saying anything else about her. However she isn't replacing anyone, no major plot arcs or stories have been influenced by her existence.
Were there soldiers off screen in the battle of endor? Absolutely. So why are none of the ones we know exist and that some of us, especially in regards to one of my favorites, Crix Madine, shown and instead replaced?
This has all the marks of what we in the military call, the good idea fairy. It's when someone with no useful or worthwhile ideas decides he's going to shove his own idea down the throats of everyone else simply because he can, regardless of whether it's bad or even just worthless. Drogan is the epitomy of the good idea fairy.
RIP Crix Madine, Nien Nunb, every Bothan Spy, Nik Sant....and every other character that already exists and actually matters. And that's just the folks I remember were a part of the story.
But hey, whoever decided to make drogan, at least there's something in star Wars that you can say you made.....
Agreed. Creating characters where they don’t exist is great. No problem at all. But wilfully ignoring a character like Crix, who had a not insignificant part in the EU (yes I know it’s not canon) and had lines even in the films, which is more than some toons in GOH, seems just silly.
Making up a toon is fine. Making up a named toon and giving him a back story is lame. Make him Rebel Captain or Endor soldier, fine. To give him a name is just stupid. IMO
In the 'Star Wars - The old Republic' game the main focus of the game went to Zakuul, a planet that got sent more weapons from Iokath than others, and then Iokath, after Malgus had been defeated.
So it possible they will expand on 5OR-T the next time they revisits 'SWTOR'
But for now they just are, so that they can be part of a story another time.
Or if they wanted a new character, Stormtrooper Luke, Endor Luke, Endor Soldier, Rebel Captain.
It really bothers me creating some random named character with a back story. Mob enforcer I'm fine with, no name.
If it helps, just call him Rebel Bunker Explosives Mule #7.
In years to come if one of these get introduced into a show or other game, I'm instantly going to be more connected to them.
This is a big star wars game and it should back itself in the wider lore.
Bail Organa should be a conquest unit if he ever comes to the game imo
The characters they’ve created have generally been pretty good. Not world beaters, but definitely high utility units in the game.
Yes, yes they do.
I forgot how “Star Wars fans” behaved there for a minute I guess.
After all Star Wars is a tiny universe with few characters so it is hard to find original characters to add to the game. Just look at latest additions: second Cal, second Rex, second Gideon, sixs Leia... This poor universe is run out of characters already. So why not to borrow one from Space Marines... sorry, I meant why not to create brand new one. After all rebels is very tiny and unpopular faction with few know characters in it... and it is anywhey better then tenth Han...
If only someone would write some comics, books, video games or series about it maybe we could get a few more characters that still aren't in the game.
If only this wasn’t the last unit introduced to the game.
Different ppl in different countries and different knowledge of the universe says the same.
Lots of ppl here in my country dont know who revan is because they've never heard of Old Republic.
What does one thing have to do with the others? People can dislike non-star wars toons and buggy releases at the same time. People disliking non-SW toons doesn't prevent CG from fixing bugs.
