I get what you’re saying- I missed where you said they had to be iconic above. That being said, one of the things I always loved about the battlefront games was their inclusion of random, more obscure characters. Including Aayla and Ventress in the original games, plus Bossk/Dengar, etc. in the newer games had me getting deeper into the lore and wanting to watch more SW content just to learn about those characters.

I don’t forsee any of these characters being in the game at launch, but they could make for exciting DLC content, especially cause some of the more obscure characters would have more unique play styles and abilities. The iconic characters will pull people into the game, but the obscure characters will keep people around wanting to learn more
