"Theirs" can be the singular possessive tense of a genderless pronoun.
Just my two cents, since the thread is very obviously more about that instead of the original topic.
I already stated my suspicious of a robot-legs Maul or agent Kallus. Hoping for either. Expecting neither. Expecting Rex - rebel version, the old man shown at the battle of Endor in Episode VI was confirmed to be him, I believe.
Edit: and because more rebels, because that's what this game does. Just because.

Ya'll need to quit spouting on about this change as though it should be embraced.
It's not a 'change'. It's been used that way since Elizabethan times... So as much as English has changed since those times, this is one thing that hasn't.
It's obviously Agent Kallus.
Description fits him perfectly.
Rebels Season 4 started last Monday, and Kallus appears in one of the trailer. So we're going to see more of him soon.
Kylo is not really an old foe, and Maul doesn't really fit the "true face" part.
Nihilus is Snoke. Opens the gates for all Disney products to go back to the Old Republic. It would be such a smart play.
I guess you don't know what happened to Nihilus then: he's a wound in the Force. It means he has a huge emptiness in him, a need to constantly devour other lifeforms, primarily Force-sensitives. If noone stopped him, he'd slowly devour the entire universe, diminishing in the end himself (he cannot exist without feeding). He didn't even have a body actually, his essence was bound to his mask and he used the Force to control his robes. He really was emptiness embodied, the Lord of Hunger.
So how was he defeated? Well, he was literally impossible to defeat, since he didn't even really exist at that point. Then the Exile engaged him on the Ravager and gained the upper hand quite soon (Nihilus is actually a terrible lightsaber duelist, all of his power comes from his nature), so Nihilus tried to use the last of his strength to annihilate the Exile, a powerful Force-sensitive to feed him - so he thought. Problem for him was, that the Exile was also a wound in the Force. So when Nihilus tried to devour the Exile, his emptiness didn't feed, only met another emptiness, annihilating himself. Nihilus didn't die: he ceased to exist. Many ancient Sith tried to cheat death by bounding their souls to artifacts/places and became Sith Ghosts (those are entirely different from the Light Side Force Ghosts like we see in the movies). Nihilus couldn't become a ghost, he vanished from existence, disappeared forever.
TL;DR: Whoever Snoke is, the one person he 100000000% can't be is Nihilus.
Emptiness cannot be hungry. Couse it is empty. No hunger, nothing.
after a lenghty debate we can conclude that the "old foe" might be female, mainly because the english language apparantly has no rules of grammar.

Why is this thread in general chat? Should be in off-topic. Once again these mods show favoritism with anything gnob gobbling/speculation related. Poor job! This is up their with most ret.arded threads on the forum. Every day I find this site less and less useful.

Seems rather clear to me. Kallus it is!
I second this. I'm unable to think of anyone else other than GG rework.
Ps. Could you take your grammar discussion elsewhere?

There is no link to a universal set of rules, because there is no universal set of rules. This isn’t the American Psychiatric Association with the official DSM-5. There is no official English grammar standard or law. There are only trends and widespread practices, none of which are universal and all of which evolve over time.
Which is the “law” for academic writing: MLA, APA, or Chicago format? There is no law, only preference.
In January 2016, the American Dialect Society chose the gender-neutral singular they as its Word of the Year: "They was recognized by the society for its emerging use as a pronoun to refer to a known person, often as a conscious choice by a person rejecting the traditional gender binary of he and she" (American Dialect Society press release, January 8, 2016).

Aye, that's a big problem. They've done away with a national standard of grammar. Oh woe betide our education system due to this mockery of higher learning. Like I said, go on and celebrate our further advancement into participation trophy style learning that destroys people's needs to examine such things as the composition of our sentences.
Insisting upon this as though it has always been is fallacious. Whether or not it is now, it is still a bad thing, and shouldn't be recognized by anyone.
If the system isn't national, it's worthless. If a language isn't built on a solid foundation of common rules all it does is lead to misunderstandings and make it harder to convey information.
They removed it maybe. Gee that's great. Next let's remove nutrition information from food products. Afterwards, we can remove treatment directions from hazardous materials.
Seriously, Ya'll need to quit spouting on about this change as though it should be embraced.
Just so you can find a bit of peace about it, as long as we can properly communicate and understand each other ...we are languaging awesomely. Zader anyone? Language is always evolving, it can't have hard set rules that stick. If you want more firm rules take up mathematics.
I just want to point out that singular “they” has been in continuous use both academically and colloquially since the 14th century. It’s 300 years older than the singular “you”. It only started to be considered incorrect when late 19th century prescriptivists decided they wanted to make English more like Latin. Modern linguistics reject prescriptivism and go for a descriptive approach instead. Since language changes according to the needs of the times and since any attempts to try and stop this change are futile, linguists describe language as it is and not as they feel it should be. And there is nothing wrong change in language. It actually helps us communicate more easily and more efficiently.
Snoke, so obvious; true face doesn’t mean the character actually wears a mask like Vader ot Kylo, it could simply mean the character lives a double life like Palpatine, hiding his true identity, and he has to be on the dark side
I honestly just hope it’s a character that they don’t make for dark side TB, if it is someone popular like Kallus it would be nice to use him or her in other areas. Unlike fuzzy Han or Rolo who’s kits are made around TB.
Its not a new vader.(Come on..Whyyy??) Most likely gonna be unmasked Kylo... His skin is already gonna be in battlefront 2 at launch so who knows?
Cross marketing man. That's why we have the Phoenix. That's why we got BB8 too.
Vader has a new comic book coming out. You really think it is a stretch Disney said: "Hey put a new Vader in your game to promote our new comic!" Most people thought something like that is what caused the Phoenix to arrive... and why they've become a necessary roster addition as well.
Is putting a new Kylo in the game going to make more people watch "the Last Jedi"? Probably not. Is putting a new Vader in game going to make more people read his new comic book? Probably...
another comic? he currently has one detailing stories between EP3 and Rogue One. Not to mention, the older comic series that took place from the end of EP4 to the beginning of ESB. What else could they possibly add?

Then what you can say about true face of kallus?
It's gonna be Jango Fett

Hear me out...
In the movie...
He chased our protagonist away. Refused to give her shelter. He was bitter, angry, only cared about himself.
Then, she made him muffins, and his heart grew three sizes that day...
It must be...
NOA!!!!!

That would be great. I'd like to see General Calrissian
@CG_Kozispoon make sure you choose your words very carefully on the “What’s ahead” section. These folks could write a thesis on your sentence!
Wish it was true.
If only we got Iden Versio. That would be awesome.
+100
I guarantee we’ll get her after Battlefront II comes out.
Kylo? We saw his face. We know his name. We know his daddy and his momma and his momma's daddy and his momma's daddy's momma. I was thinking of Snoke.
