I mean - I've been called an uber-nerd freak, but if I've never even heard of a character . . .
The rest of the (movie) Jedi Council seems like a must.
Admiral Motti and Chief Chirpa need to happen too.
And ANYONE that has a line.
This is way more reasonable than EVERYONE IN THE MOVIES. As if Feltipern Trevagg is less obscure than any given video game or comic book character. Seriously, who the hell is that?
Motti and Chirpa are really good choices. I'd really like to see the rest of the Jedi Council too, that's why I was happy that we finally made Eeth Koth in Vengeance. That should keep up.
I will say that doing anyone with a line might not be a good idea. Some characters just really aren't good for a skirmish game. They aren't combatants or commanders of any kind and just wouldn't realistically have any value in a skirmish. For example, what abilities would a Shmi Skywalker have? Or a Beru Lars? "Serve Blue Milk"?
And I swear I quit the game when we make a little kid Anakin Skywalker. That's where I draw the line.
I do think anyone with a line could work. At least be a fun character. We just need to be creative. These are just thoughts off the top of my head:
Shmi Skywalker - "Path to the Dark side" - When this character is defeated, one ally gains sith rage and loses 2 defense.
"There was no father" - Adjacent characters may replace turn to gain a force point
Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru : "Begin your destiny" - When this character is defeated, one ally gains intution.
"Serve Bloo Milk" - Characters ending there turn adjacent to this character may remove 10 damage.
those are just a few ideas. Anyway - it's not like mouse droids, Han in Carbonite, Sidious Hologram, K-3PO, Sly Moore, Gha Gnackt etc really scream to be made into minis for a skirmish game. They were made and some of them given abilities that are a stretch to what they actually do in the SW universe (if not downright ridiculous). I mean - did Sidious Hologram REALLY give force out to anyone nearby on it's team. That is PREPOSTEROUS! BUT . . . it comes in handy as a mechanic for a skirmish game.
Here's another question - how many 3 3/4 inch figures were made that have not been done into minis? We seriously should be able to eclipse those.
