It’s been a while since we posted anything about Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. With the new raid coming out any day now, we will soon have access to yet another raid reward character. I’ve heard speculation as to what character we will see for this reward. It could be General Kenobi or Jedi Luke, but we don’t know definitively.
With this thought in mind, I’ve thought a lot about what characters I would like to see added to the Galaxy of Heroes rosters. So here is my character wish list. Listed here are characters that are currently canonical. I will write a list of non-canon characters I would like to see in SWGOH.
-
R2-D2
People speculate that R2 is the character that will be the raid reward character for the new raid. They may make him a rebel, but I would like to see him as a part of the Galactic Republic. He could have an affinity with characters like Anakin, Ahsoka, or even Padme. He’d probably have a shock similar to that of the Jawa’s and maybe a rocket-powered head-butt.
-
Battle Droid (Mr. Bones)
This is an easy one. Battle droids were cheap but effective in numbers. Put him on a droid team or under a Separatist lead and Roger Roger. Or, if you have read the Aftermath books, you that Mr. Bones is Snap Wexley’s re-purposed battle droid. He’s got the personality of an HK unit with the same level of deadliness.
A battle droid would obviously be a Separatist while Mr. Bones would bolster the ranks of the Resistance faction.
-
C-3PO
Give 3PO an affinity with R2 and watch these two take down other teams. Really, I only want him as a lead for my Ewok team. Imagine what inspiring feats the already awesome Ewoks could do if lead by their golden god.
-
Wicket
Speaking of Ewoks, why haven’t we seen Wicket yet? Warwick Davis would be spinning in his grave if he were dead. As it is, he should still be upset. There are only a handful of Ewoks from the original movie that we learn the names of and his is one of them.
He’d probably be another melee powerhouse. Prone to stealth, Wicket could have a high speed and a nice evade percentage.
Also, I think the Ewoks should have an ability called Barbecue, where they eat either stormtroopers or rebels. They are carnivores, after all.
-
Padme Amidala
Padme Amidala is probably one of the most versatile characters we see during the Republic era in canon. She is a diplomat and a fighter. She holds her ground against droids and nexu. I think Padme would be a ranged attacker with a strong leader ability that helped people against Separatist.
-
Hondo Onaka
He’s not the scoundrel we want, but he is the scoundrel we need. I think he is going to continue to play a large role in the Star Wars Rebels and it’s likely that we will see more of him. He is clearly a scoundrel, but I think he would have an affinity for Rebels.
But like Anakin, I think his attack should bring with it a chance to do damage to any rebel teammates. Let’s face it, he can’t be trusted; he’s a pirate. He would probably give additional help to people like the mob enforcer or even the Jawas. I could see him doing business with the Jawas.
-
Ezra
Ezra is a character that can go either way. We could see an Ezra Unleashed or maybe an Ezra Redeemed. One would be the Darth Bridger who controls the minds of other characters and makes them shoot their teammates. Or maybe he calls in for an AT-AT assist.
Ezra the Jedi would look more like a Jedi who can pull opponent agro. Maybe he has a power like that of the Royal Guard when his rebel allies go below a certain HP.
-
Snap Wexley
Let’s face it, we need more pilots. With ships coming out soon, we need those who are skilled in an X-wing or tie fighter. Snap is skilled in the cockpit of an X-wing. We only see a little bit of him during Episode 7, but the Aftermath books give us more of his skill. Couple that with the underwhelming ranks in the resistance faction, and he just makes sense.
Since I don’t know what the Ships mode will look like, I will hold off on recommending abilities.
-
Sabine
Besides being an absolute bad-a in Star Wars Rebels, Sabine in a ranged powerhouse. She would have a double attack, a high evade percentage, and probably act as a pilot. She could also be a bounty hunter.
-
Jabba the Hutt
Why have we not seen Jabba in this game? It doesn’t make sense. He would clearly be a leader. He would most likely be connected to scoundrels or bounty hunters. I think he would provide speed up, maybe a higher evade percentage, and when his attacks land, they would stun enemies.
Honorable Mentions
There really are too many to mention, but here are a few of my honorable mentions. Again, these are canonical characters.
- Droidekas
- Shaak Ti
- Darth Revan
- Chopper
- Hera
- Kanan
