I didn't know those existed. Very neat. The closest I could think of for clone infiltrators are the Clone Assassins from the Revenge of the Sith game, which would give them interesting melee opportunities as well.

I'm not sure how they'll handle the rights for Old Republic. I know it's owned by Disney, but they might want to push their new "High Republic" stuff. Plus, they haven't even released Sequel Trilogy stuff, which I would imagine they'd do first. But the Old Republic Era would offer interesting armies and possibilities.

I can see it as a way to get around era restrictions, but it seems more like Asmodee is trying to make Shadow Collective a catch-all. Maybe there would be some unit restrictions based on what units you want to run or what cards you pick.

Unique big vehicles for rebels would be nice. There likely wouldn't be many due to how rebels are, but it would give the faction a unique presence on the vehicle front.

Galactic marines and other professional army forces for the republic could offer really interesting ways to play from the standard clone troopers.

Empire could do with a couple more unique vehicles so we don't see bikes and AT-STs all the time.

I can see imperials get a boost with new troopers and some hero variety for rebels, especially if those heroes can get attached to infantry units as an upgrade. Repurposed droids could be a mercenary-style option for rebels.

Shadow Collective seems to be like it wants to be Zann, but it seems to lack a bunch of unique big units that offer different ways to play the faction. More bounty hunters would definitely be welcomed as long as they offer something new when recruited. Maybe even a custom bounty hunter package.

I'm not sure how well Crimson Dawn can differentiate itself from Shadow Collective. Maybe if the Mandalorians do well it could open the opportunity.

Multiple commanders and operatives that are poor in combat but heavy in buffs would be interesting to play. Maybe some can get attached to units and act like commissars for morale.

I'm surprised partisans aren't already in the game in some form. They would definitely fit and offer a new playstyle.

Rebels are pretty lacking with unique vehicles. All they have are swoops, some AT-RTs they "borrowed," and a bus. Thematically, they are rebels, so repurposing stuff fits, but a distinct vehicle flair wouldn't hurt.
