are First Order coming soon too?

[alasta 1]

I'm mainly just wanting to play if the First Order are going to be a team, any news on when they're coming out? 

Or are they going to do very slow waves of releases?

Since there is young Luke and Darth Vader I doubt there will be anything outside the original Trilogy soon. But I may be wrong. Only FFG knows.

 

[TylerTT 1,276]

Just squint a bit and suddenly the empire is first order.

[Ralgon 925]

At this stage it's all ot stuff. You might be in for a quite a wait before the 1st order appears.

[Copes 225]

Nothing official on First Order. Entirely speculation. Many think the game will never leave the Original Trilogy. Others think that over time other eras will be visited. Zero confirmation one way or another from FFG. 

Even if they do visit other eras, it is likely you will be waiting a year or more before new armies are released. Stay tuned, but don't expect anything soon.

[Extropia 1,475]

I think sequel stuff will happen eventually, but not for at LEAST a year, and IMO likely a fair bit longer. There's an awful lot to use up before they need to hit that material.

[Sk3tch 550]

I would hope they flesh out the GCW era with some scum and villainy factions like Hutt Cartel, as a 3rd then maybe (Independents and Bounty hunters as a 4th with rules to add them on to others). 

With so much to draw from and keep it in theme (obviously from New and old canon) I don't see why we need to mix time lines, yet. Solo is soonish I guess as well, that would be kinda more relevant too I guess.  Although yes I would love to play with a First Order army 

Also Last Jedi Spoiler

 

There's no resistance left. Apart from 6 people and some Porgs. So any army you make is already dead. maybe Ep 9 will bring enough to add Resistance and First Order them to the game.

Solo and Rebels are both very relevant to varying extents. between those, Rogue One and the OT there's really no need for them to go mixing eras too early.

And that's before even getting into a lot of the Legends stuff that IA was happy to delve into. 

[Col. Dash 48]

With the massive back log of troops and vehicles available and detailed from the OT, it would be years, I think, at their current rate until they jump to another era that's much less detailed. Or they could just do a quick one off and have a small wave with everything from the new trilogy since so little is out there for it. Sure there's a slew of characters , none of which are real leader types for small units outside Phasma, but very little new for troopers and I cant think of any vehicles besides those junker air speeders.

I see the Clone Wars happening before new trilogy since you actually have an extremely wide assortment of troops, vehicles, and hero characters(On the clone side at least with Cody and Bakura, plus all the various boring jedis)

Is that the actual name of one of the Wave 3 Expansion boxes? 

[devin.pike.1989 1,522]

I would much rather see rogue one content.  Rebel Marines, partisans, death troopers, occupier tanks...  Pao and Bistan.

[Crabbok 9,769]

I don't think we'll see any sequel trilogy content - at least not for a very long time. 

 

  Just in the Galactic Civil War alone, there is a TON of content for this game.   Consider the films, Rebels, Rogue One, and probably even more with the books and upcoming movies like Han Solo coming out soon!   There's just so much within this same time period.  

 

  If they did a sequel trilogy warfare game, I'd love for it to be a much smaller scale for the miniatures, so we can have multiple walkers on the board.  I'd like to have a war game where I take 5+ walkers up against a fortified base. 

[Attackmack 493]

If/when FFG move outside of the OT, i hope they introduce subfactions and prohibit mixing them. No first order mixed with empire, or rebels mixed with republic.

Separatists could be their own faction and field droids, lots of em.

[DarkTrooperZero 303]

Would love to see the clones done, great asthetics and plenty of established units.

Buuut prob going to get over powered scum first.

[devin.pike.1989 1,522]

I am confident that they will do a better job balancing a scum faction in legion. They have learned from their other games. Besides, I want me some weequay pirates and gammorean warriors!

[DarkTrooperZero 303]

You know everytime someone says ffg have learnt from their mistakes another, nym, harpoon etc comes out.......

But so looking forward to what does come out next for legion.

[VirMortalis 91]

They stated they wanted to playing in the Galactic Civil war era, so that means nope for the Clones and nope for the First Order. We are literally staying between ANH and ROTJ

[Zeelobby 40]

And I hope it stays that way, and the expand laterally instead of through time. I don't want to fight 18 different "Empire" factions. I'd rather fight some aliens, or other stuff. It's a galaxy, hopefully FFG fills it, instead of just fighting around the death star(s) all the time.

I hope its not constrained so tightly. I think they will include things from Rebels and Rogue One, as well as from Aftermath and Battlefront II. I do think you are right though and it will remain Rebels/New Republic vs Empire/Remnant for a while.

[VirMortalis 91]

Well Rogue One and Rebels are taking place around that time period so you would be safe to get that. I wouldnt expect anything prior to RO or post ROTJ for the foreseeable future

[jcmonson 276]

The Galactic Civil War officially ends with the Battle of Jakku, so the Aftermath books and Battlefront II's campaign should still fit in that time period.

[devin.pike.1989 1,522]

I hope we get battlefront 2 stuff because I reeeeeeeally want these guys:

[GreatMazinkaiser 1,310]

I'd like certainly like some Battlefront II stuff... like say, Darktroopers...
