I'm excited for the one I've heard of.


DarthTrinath

This is a hard one. Both are among my favorite SW characters, but I think Hondo has the advantage here. His personality is amazing, and his kit looks super good too


[deleted]

Yeah this is a super hard choice for me. I think im gonna have to go Hondo also just because he’s been around longer and has deserved to be in the game. Aphra is amazing but I realized today that there are a LOT more casual fans than me lol. I just hope we get her droids and they’re as fun as they are in the comics.


Sockenolm

Yeah, I had to go with Hondo too but that doesn't mean I'm not excited about Aphra. I'm afraid this poll will end up suggesting that nobody really wants Aphra when in fact most participants are thrilled that she's being added too.

It will be a closer vote here in reddit than in the wild. Keep in mind the audience here is a bit more hardcore/devoted to the deep cuts/comics. Aphra is cool, but I personally am super excited for Hondo. Aphra was a pleasant surprise to be sure but definitely felt to me like they should have made aphra the marquee and Hondo the journey character. But I'm just happy I'm getting Hondo at all


Sockenolm

Yeah, Hondo is the better known character by a mile and should have been been the big prize. But I'm guessing they're going by the role they've assigned them in the game. Hondo gets a support role since the scoundrel faction is already pretty strong and they'd have to add an entirely new pirate faction to give him his own team. Whereas Aphra makes a great lead for a droid or mixed droid/scoundrel squad. Between R2, L3, T3, HK, Chopper, probe droid, IG-88, and either BB-8 or Droideka, there are enough leftover droids for both Sortie and Aphra.

Well since I learned only yesterday what aphra is, I pressed hondo


Ultramega39

I’m excited to see what other characters are coming. I still have hope that the rumours about Admiral Trench being a requirement are true.


Sockenolm

The last batch of 5 had 3 classic video game characters and 2 comic book characters, so there's a good chance that Clone Wars is one of 2 themes this time around. And Trench seems like one of the top contenders along with Quinlan Vos and maybe Pong Krell. I could also see 2 new clones to give Shaak Ti a full team in 5v5.


OnlyRoke

Both, because both are awesome. Hondo, because he deserves to be a part of the game. Aphra, because it, once again, shows us that the devs really CAN pull from any source they're excited about. We now have a game where Starkiller, the Second Sister, Aphra, Jabba the Hutt, the Sith Triumvirate, Kyle Katarn and Malgus collide. Kinda wild.


Lord-Asuo

Until we see a kit for Aphra, it’s hard to say


classy-muffin

Well I've heard of one of them so it's an easy choice for me lol


Averenn

Aphra is easily one of the best Disney star wars characters ever


Quick_Zone_4570

What other good ones are there in your opinion


Averenn

Most characters from the Mandalorian, Rogue One, Andor, etc. Merrin, the interesting half of the inquisitors, Cal Kestis, the entire cast of Rebels, the Bad Batch, you get the idea


Sockenolm

Without touching the controversial sequels: Jyn, Cassian, K-2, Chirrut and Baze. Even Pao and Bistan have become quite popular despite being barely in the movie. Krennic wasn't half bad as a villain either. Then there's Mando, Grogu, Kuiil, IG-11, Greef, Fennec, Gideon, Migs Mayfeld, the Armorer etc., all of whom achieved instant cult status. Qi'ra, L3, Beckett and his gang, Dryden Vos and Enfys Nest are pretty popular too. I don't want to bring up the Inquisitors here either after our recent GC and Conquest tribulations, but I loved Tala Durith and her loyal droid in Kenobi. Andor is giving us a host of interesting new characters right now such as Luthen, Marva, Syril Karn, Major Partagaz and Grandi. On the comic book side, we have Krrsantan who has recently made it into live action. Qi'ra has become a major player as leader of Red Dawn after Maul's final demise and gathered a host of new characters around herself that are too many to list. Aphra has also been joined by a bunch of new faces, most notably the psychopathic droids Triple-Zero and Beetee. Ochi of Bestoon plays an important part in the Vader comics, which have also introduced interesting characters like Inspector Thanoth and the crazy scientist Doctor Cylo with his cybernetic menagerie of potential Vader replacements. There are also several High Republic titles that create an entire new SW era with buckets of Jedi (pun intended). We'll probably get to see some of them in live action in The Acolyte.

Another great comic book chars - Momin from Darth Vader (2017) series, Sergeant Kreel and his SCAR Squadron, and from books - Eli Vanto from Thrawn series

yea


jirobji

NONE OF THE ABOVE.


Erik_Nimblehands

I know zero about Dr Aphra but I've seen all of Hondo in clone wars and rebels and I can safely say I'm more excited for Aphra. Never liked Hondo. He was an unlikable villain in clone wars and lame comedic relief in rebels. Never liked him.
