Should have given us Hondo for capital ship
I know he wasn’t chasing the falcon in the lore but that’s the basis of the game weird battles across generations Hondo would be a perfect capital ship to include the new debuff breach better

Howdy, Stranger!

It makes more sense and he's an iconic character.
The only ship connected to Jabba is his sail barge and it isn't space-worthy. Hondo is pretty much the only choice for a BH/scoundrel capital.
Why not? We could open up a whole new area of the game for ground level ships. Moisture farmer Luke could have his new hope speeder, release endor Leia and scout trooper with their bikes, queen amidala could have a nice capital and jabba could have his sail barge as well. Sarlacc pit would be a sweet background for the fights. It would be great!
Hondo:
- has a Pirate Saucer Mothership
- had a Bounty Hunter love interest
- was loosely involved with the Falcon (hilarious that I can't abbreviate the name of the ship from the game)
- would very likely be characterized as a Scoundrel (scoundrels4life in clue)
Hondo is iconic too
Jabba's the one who put a bounty on Han, so basically he's the one who "hired" the bounty hunters. Star Jewel would be decent as a capital ship with its size and complement of shuttles and Z-95 Headhunters.
You’re all forgetting the Errant Venture
But you know what might be even better?
(Hang with me here)
What if they gave us the Eravana with Vet Han and Chewie as crew?
A non-combatant Capital could be kind of fun, just plenty of team heals, boosts, and maybe some tractor beam stuns (since that was the only ‘weapons’ emplacement she had, AFAIK).
More than that though, I’d love to have those two serve some other purpose than bottom of the barrel TW clean up duty and padding for my Smuggler events...
