Will we see these as playable species?

[Horiuchi Nobata 24]

Personally I would like to see the Mirulakans. Not sure how balanced they would be with all of them being Force sensitive.

How did they come up with a 15% earth size rocky moon with 1G standard gravity? Who were these scientist? I want names and heads! ;-)

I hate to burst your bubble, Kael, but that whole "Endor Holocaust" theory has been shot down numerous times.

The video gives you his name!!!! Also there is another article floating about with more names. Science is a wonderful thing!!

You do realize I posted that link as a joke? Canon says that everyone survived. Poe was likely conceived during the after party. There is no point in disputing the canon other than to inject levity.

It seems to me that FFG has already acknowledged Ewoks as a playable species, but just hasn't given us their stats yet.

Within at least 2 different books there are pictures of Ewoks, which is only something that FFG does, to my point of view for playable species. One picture is in FaD Savage Spirits pg64. I have not relocated the second picture yet, but I know it has 2 Ewoks in it.

There are a few species that have been depicted in the art but are not playable. I would use the pictures to determine that they do in fact exist but I wouldn't let that determine FFG's stance on if stats will be given or if they are playable. The art direction seems to be more about what fits the book and less about what's playable.

The real fun of playing an Ewok would be specifically because they're primitive.  Being a cute and cuddly and capably violent teddy bear / fish-out-of-water would be the whole reason for playing an Ewok.  That and getting the rest of the party into trouble because of your insane curiosity about the wonders of the "modern" world(s).

Please, please, please, someone let me play an official Jawa!  I don't know the official stance about cross-pollination of species into different games, but pick and choose from everything in our games, and I really want to play a jawa techie who's ignorant of the Force but a savant with Manipulation.

I'm still holding out for Kaleesh and Cathar!

[kaisergav 47]

I'm just waiting for that magic sourcebook that has Jawas, Miraluka, Zeltron, and lots of details on life as a normal citizen inside the Core Worlds of the Empire or as an honourable officer in the Imperial Navy.

Please FFG. Do it for me!

I probably wouldn't have made that call, but still, the Ganks are fairly obscure and hardly the iconic race Jawas are. I consider myself fairly geeked out as far as Star Wars goes (read a few dozen novels and a ton of comics, played SW RPGs since the late 80s) but I can't recall hearing of the Ganks once until they popped up in FFG Star Wars.
 

I think Ganks were first mention in the Dark Empire comics by Dark Horse (as "Gank Killers").

Itliacs from me, I'm hoping Cathar are playable in F&D at some point; Pretty much all of my jedi {3 sentinels, 2 shadows, 2 sages} are all Cathar. Oddly most of my Jedi have Asian type names or related to the weather {for example Snowbund my permadrunk Jedi Master fights better drunk than when sober}. I can play human sure, Got 7 human Jedi characters {2 shadows, 3 sages, 2 sentinels}

Hopefully too they will also add more crystal colors other than what we're seeing {say pink, magenta outline, black outline with pink core, fire red, fire orange, etc} Also, what about the Gree ? The Gree saberstaff is possibly the best looking thing, and also would love more info on Tython and how to get there!

Endor holocaust would be a great starting point for an ewok game.

Falling DS2 parts are destroying large parts of endor, the rebellion does the good thing and tries to relocate as many ewoks as possible.

An advance scouting party was dispatched (a few rebels, some droids and an ewok shaman + bodyguards) to find a new homeworld. Unfortunately something happened along the way and the rebels are lost, leaving the ewok party alone on the freighter with just a protocol droid and astromech for help.

Now it's up to the ewoks to venture out into the galaxy in search of a new home.

And make them playable characters too ? Heck make a campaign sourcebook/adventure in that era maybe ? {The Old Republic era I mean, from the MMO}

Except that canonically, the "Endor Holocaust" never happened.

Canonically,  the PCs and most of the NPCs don't exist. So what?

The PCs and NPCs "can" exist in the canon, "off screen" so to speak. In fact, that is the general assumption of the game. The Endor Holocaust, however, has been repeatedly debunked as flat out not happening. 

[mulletcheese 689]

Your star wars universe belongs to the GM and the players, not to Disney. Every GM can choose to follow canon or not.

If you stick to canon it should be a starting point and not a storytelling constraint, otherwise Disney may release new Canon that contradicts your game.

I have no problem with starting a game after ROTJ, using canon, and then having a holocaust.

[mulletcheese 689]

If I wanted to play an evil ewok game I'd probably start it like this.

During the aftermath of the battle of endor an imperial escape pod crashes into the jungle, containing an imperial protocol droid and astromech (think BT-1 ans 0-0-0). After being captured by ewoks they are elevated to godhood (it worked for C3PO) and gain a small but fanatical ewok following. During the rebel celebrations the droids and ewoks seize control of a rebel shuttle and flee endor, unleashing mayhem on the galaxy.

 

The point is that if nasa can send monkey's into space I'm sure we can figure out a way to get ewoks into space, if a player desperately wants to play one.

[Richardbuxton 7,319]

Friends Like These includes a bit on including a Mando in the party. An adventure book with Endor as a location and Ewoks as a playable species would be an excellent way to provide the required reasoning. But really anyone wanting to play an Ewok would willingly come up with a reason it's adventuring.

[Weedles and Fries 170]

Just give me Zeltrons, Kubaz, Bith (already getting more than likely) Ubese (why were they not in No Disintegrations?), Pau'ans (which we are definitely getting), Kaminoans, Geonosians, Selkath, Cathar, Houk, Kaleesh, Vratix, Jawas, Nogri, Barabel, Miraluka, Abyssins, Anzat, Ssi-Ruu, and Sith Pureblood and then I'll be content. 

Is that too much to ask?

From what I recall the Bith are already in Edge of the Empire and Endless Vigil ? {feel free to correct if I'm wrong}

You might be thinking of Gand.

Although not confirmed, it looks like Bith will be in Fully Operational.

Yep, you're right, I was thinking of the Gand. My bad.

[Blackbird888 4,110]

Fully Operational: Bith confirmed. Kaminoans are possible, Givin are possible, Skakoans are possible. Sluissi fit but are Legends, so more unlikely than not; Jawas work but it seems like a weird fit for AoR. Personally, I hope they use a species seen in The Force Awakens.

Spy book: Kubaz seem possible, maybe Ubese (Leia dressed up as one, so that counts as a Rebel spy, right?). What else, not particularly sure, without delving deep into Legends material. Also, see my above comment about TFA.

Mystic book: Plenty of options, but there's a good test--if you see a species on the Jedi Council from the prequels or TCW, it might make an appearance (there are one or two that haven't shown up). Otherwise, I hope for Miraluka

Warrior book: Kaleesh could work. I hope for Cathar here. Talz?
