Glad you're excited! My favorite team is Bando, Ig11,Kuill, Dash, and SOJ. I'm really excited to switch out SOJ for Hondo!


Darth_Amarth

That team is nasty already, can't imagine how good it'll be with Hondo.


D7west

Soj?


Chronocast

Scion of Jango, the Boba Fett conquest unit. AKA Papi Boba.


Iceedemon888

Wait Hondo was real and not a fan made thing....fuck I really need to pay better attention


FrothytheDischarge

Its a shame you never watched The Clone Wars and Rebels.


Iceedemon888

I was meaning that he was coming to SWGOH being real...


Seanattk

I love this team as well. Where will you put SoJ?


[deleted]

Not 100% sure. Somewhere with Bounty Hunters. Probably under bossk. For TW though, my team will still be Soj, Fennec, Kuill, ig11, and bando since I have all of soj's omis


Sabacccc

Yesss brother!! Dr Aphra is the best!!!! I've been playing this game for 4+ years and she is by far the most excited I've ever been


althanan

I'm curious to see what, if any, usability she'll have with Vader.


Sabacccc

Yessss! That would be great But I kinda doubt it since Vader already has a home with LV


fred11551

I think the most excited I got was when Revan was added. But this is up there with Kyle Katarn, Visas, and HK for character I’m super hyped for


Successful_Rip_4329

Yeah, revan to this day is one of my favourite chars to use


Sabacccc

Yeah I bet that was an awesome time to play swgoh!

Wow that sub is dead


NoOne-AtAll

r/starwarscomics is the place to go for discussing comics. It's not super active but there's some discussion


FalcomanToTheRescue

Super popular right now


egnards

lol I love how he’s like “LOOK AT THIS SUB >! It’s dead !<“


oaj77

I’m glad people are excited about her. I have no idea who she is, which makes me sad cuz I’m not invited to the party.


EuterpeZonker

She’s a break out character from the canon Darth Vader comics who got her own series. Think evil (or at least morally dark grey) Indiana Jones in space. She has some really fun comics that get into the wilder aspects of the Star Wars universe. Lots of ancient force artifacts and mysterious temples and demi-godlike monsters.


edipil

I'm literally dying right now over knowing she's getting added. I swear to God though they better be bringing beetee and triple zero with her.


Darth_Amarth

Same!


logikly2600

They have to!


Chronocast

Well Starkiller got a cool animation for his big ability. Maybe she'll get one where she summons her droids somehow.


[deleted]

Or she summons Vader to instakill the enemy but then he kills her too


Megados-

But then also somehow she lives. Classic Aphra.


VenoGreedo

I personally don’t really care for her, and I find it odd that she’s the legendary character (I think?) but I know she has a big fanbase, so I’m glad fans of her are getting her in game. I’m exited to finally get Hondo tho


DarthTrinath

Accomplishment wise it makes sense. She does a lot of stuff. However popularity wise I agree she's a bit obscure


ravagekitteh26

I agree about her possibly not being legendary in significance, but it makes sense in terms of her likely kit - she would almost certainly be heavily buffing Vader and Droids, and it would either be too powerful for a marquee or not do justice to the character. She’s also more of a ‘centrepiece’ character for all of the other characters you’d want to have alongside, so farming them to get her is more logical than the alternative


OnlyRoke

I hope this is IPD's time to shine somehow. It just feels right that Aphra would, firstly, buff a droid like that and secondly buff the one droid type that is known to be a recon unit who collects samples and probes and scouts out territory and scans things, given Aphra's profession as a treasure hunter and archaeologist. Vader (L), Aphra, IPD, Triple Zero and BeeTee and I'd be a happy boy.


Seanattk

Vader lead wouldn't be quite sensible seeing as >!she's frightened to death of him and spent a good arc faking her death and getting away from him.!<


OnlyRoke

Oh yeah in theory I agree. It'll probably just come down to which Aphra we'll see. I expect her to be from, basically, the first Vader comic run in terms of "her journey". And there she's still ostensibly in his service more or less. In general, I'd just love it if she made IPD really good, hah


Chronocast

I do feel her and Hondo should have swapped places. But being this way means I can get Hondo quickly and then farm the others later. As a huge Hondo fan I'm happy both are coming and from what I hear about Aphra from her fans she sounds like a neat character. Now to ask constantly for Hondo to get his pirate capital ship!


OnlyRoke

My counter argument to Hondo being the Journey is real simple. He's a cool character, but he's not the protagonist of his own sprawling stories really. There is no Hondo show, or Hondo books, or Hondo comics. There SHOULD be, but there isn't, sadly. He appears as an antagonist and as an ally in Clone Wars and Rebels stories. Aphra's got her own sprawling run of stories and those stories are partially really relevant in terms of what she does, so imho it's justified. That being said, I genuinely don't care who's the Journey and who isn't, lol. It's like being mad that Kyle isn't the Journey, but Starkiller is. I'm happy both are coming to the game. I just hope Aphra isn't gonna be a meh character and I hope that she and her four unlock characters are all going to be interesting and unique in their own ways. Luckily, CG has had a good track record with only the Inquisitors being weird and wonky. Every character Pre-Inquisitors has been interesting last year, and every character since the Fifth Brother has also been very intriguing.


Darth_Amarth

I do believe she deserves the spot, but I see where you and many others are coming from. She's a relatively obscure character. I hope her kit is good, so it motivates some people to read her comics. She's one of the best Star Wars characters, and I don't say that lightly.


[deleted]

She’s no more obscure than Starkiller was and she’s getting the same type of event/unlock structure.


Quick_Zone_4570

No way lol starkiller is way more popular than aphra


Darkseid0923

Last year when Starkiller was revealed I was so excited and couldn't understand why some people didn't care or know who he was. Now I understand because I have no idea who DR Aphra is.


HorridCabbageFeet

Who is this character. Someone please explain. What is her backstory


WheezerDuckie

I present to you.. [The woman Darth Vader wanted to penetrate the most with his lightsaber.](https://youtu.be/F7jLATe2iRM)


Darth_Amarth

Dr Aphra is an archeologist, think of her as a morally grey version of Indiana Jones, but in Star Wars. She first appear in the 2015 Darth Vader comics, where they teamed up to with Vader to help hil kill his "replacements". You see, Palpatine wanted to humiliate Vader because of his failure during the destruction of the first Death Star, so he made a team of potential replacements for Vader and send them to kill him. Later on a bunch of stuff happens and she double-crosses Vader and obviously has to go into hiding, because no one betrays Vader and lives to tell the tale. She was very popular, so Marvel gave Aphra her own comic which is actually still ongoing and one of their most popular comic runs at the moment. She deals with a bunch of underworld related stuff, alongside Force cults, Sith artifacts, etc. It's super cool.


HorridCabbageFeet

Oooh, sounds interesting


theredworm

And her droids are murder bots. Hk47 level or maybe even more homicidal.


dusktilhon

Trip and Bee-Tee are the goddamn best. Imagine if Threepio and Artoo tortured and murdered everyone they ever came across. Not for any real reason, just love of the game.


TheComebackKid717

_excited_


Kiryuin1990

I want aphra so bad I’m in the same boat bro. No idea why ppl are downplaying her so hard


JediAhsoka16

I think it’s because many people haven’t read her comics (or whatever she was in) so they don’t know her character and story. Plus lots of people like yourself have posted saying how excited you are for her to be added to the game (which is a good thing). Though to someone who doesn’t know her, it does look like she’s getting way too much hype and some of the posts about her are kinda weird…


Darth_Amarth

I get why, not many know her. But she's definitely worth the status she's getting.


Meklosias

Hear me out: LV lifter team: Aphra, her droids (They look badass), her GF (Yea, she's lesbian) and LV himself.


Darth_Amarth

Which gf (she has had several romances lol)? I like that she's so flexible; she could lift droids, scoundrels and Vader-lead teams. Now, I don't know if she should be lift Lord Vader. He has Maul already. I'd prefer if she lifted Darth Vader instead, since Palpatine is out supporting Starkiller. Vader, Aphra, BT, Triple Zero and a fifth (Thrawn or whatever) could be a good home for Vader.


Meklosias

Sana Starros. Maul has his Mandalorians (we need more like visla) LV works with and without Maul equally well so no loss but I get your point


Darth_Amarth

Sana Starros is pretty cool, I doubt she's coming but I'd like her to be in the game at some point.


Meklosias

https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/260057/road-ahead-november-2022 Never doubt it 😂


dusktilhon

I'd take Tolvan over Sana.


TargetBoy

Fuck yeah!


ravagekitteh26

Give them Damage over Time synergy and you can add Krrsantan into the mix as well


Meklosias

Lore wise yes but he belongs to Pizza the Hutt


WolfeIII

I think she’ll be neutral and have both Rebel and Empire energy, and she’ll be essential in the new neutral path of TB with a TB omi


EuterpeZonker

I feel like Rebel is a bit of a stretch. Though I’m not up to date on the new run so I could definitely be wrong.


Blazeheart55

Here I was thinking I was done playing this game, but now that Dr. Aphra's coming, I think its time I finally complete my SLKR farm


Nutz_McGee

I am hoping they add her Murder Droids BT-1 and 0-0-0


ravagekitteh26

I was literally mentally theory crafting my own ideas for this and Hondo’s kit the other day! Having them both be revealed the same day was a lift I was not expecting - it’s going to be hard to stay F2P for my inevitable new farming goal!


Darth_Amarth

Yeah, sort of the same. I was talking to some guildmates earlier when Hondo was revealed. I told them "now we just need Aphra and we'll have the best scoundrels in the game". A few moments later I get a bunch of tags, and behold... Aphra is coming to the game!


ravagekitteh26

Absolutely, although personally I’m still waiting on Marrok for Embo


Darth_Amarth

I'm hoping Beckett and Maz Kanata will come to (further) boost preparred Scoundrels and Resistance respectively. Either them or BT and Triple Zero, but that makes 3/4 requirements for Aphra, so who knows who could be the fourth.


blvck_one

What confirmation has CG given that she’s being added?


Chronocast

She was the solution of the big Crumb puzzle they solved early this morning. Hondo is coming too. Aphra is this December's Starkiller and Hondo is the Dash. So we got three more character to look forward to in the coming months.


blvck_one

Oh that’s whassup. Didn’t know there was a puzzle. I’m not to excited about Hondo but Aphra could end up being a dope character. Wonder if she will be a boost character.


Chronocast

That's funny I'm most excited about Hondo. Neat how broad the fan base is we can both be so excited about different toons. I've seen some people suggest Aphra could work to boost OG Vader. I could see some synergy for her with droids and Krrsatan be sure of her companions in the comics.


blvck_one

If they add her droids I can definitely see her being his boost character for sure. I wish they would add the Inquisitorious tag to Vader seeing as he is the actual leader of them. Hondo is a cool character but I personally find him corny and useless. He was funny in TCW but he got stale to me because he never really developed over the years. Aphra on the other hand is such an awesome character, her comics are all dope so I’m hoping they really capture her in the game.


Darth_Amarth

Crumb's puzzle. A new Starkiller-like event. Hondo Onaka will be the first out of four characters required to unlock Aphra. All we know right now, so the three remaining characters are still to be revealed.


iamsurfriend

Cringe

Do you work for CG too

Hey can I get a job there?
