Premier Skins?
With the possibilities being further opened up on customization to come, I thought they might take a page from NetherRealm’s Injustice 2. A select few characters in that game have an optional bonus skin that is quite pricey and can be purchased with MTX, but turns that character into a new character via looks, dialogue, and sounds while the move set remains identical. I think that’d be a great model to follow in Battlefront 2.
They could be set at a premium price of say 100,000 credits or a few thousand crystals, and along with changing the character’s looks, it could come along with 3 new emotes that are locked to that skin. No animations would need to be changed which would make it very practical to implement.
Examples:

- Bossk could receive a premier skin of his father Cradossk
- Chewie could receive a premier skin of Tarfful

Check out all my concepts Here
Not really wild about your picks or Cradossk or Tarfful, but the idea is definitely solid. That being said I can't really think of any other viable alternatives, lol.
You really want these minor guys to have actual spots? To each their own I suppose mate, I can understand wanting your favorites to make it.
Technically they would be “heroes” per se just not of their own design, it was a really popular and well received idea on NetherRealm’s part for Injustice 2. I know I had no issue buying source crystals to unlock John Stewart Green Lantern premier skin and to me that was satisfying to play as, and I think it’d work super well in this game. Tons of possibilities for alternate similar characters. Pre Vizsla premier skin for Boba perhaps? Darth Sidious skin for the Emperor like mentioned above? Cassian Andor premier skin for Han Solo in case he didn’t make it into a Rogue One content drop?
Not really a big issue imo, no different from your main hero being already taken. Everyone and their nans are playing Luke right now because he has a new skin, but I haven't seen anyone up in arms that they can't play Luke.
I think it's a bit different when it's the same character in a different skin compared to two different characters who share a single character slot.
Not for main characters, just for those characters people want that aren't worth creating a full hero moveset for.
If Bossk and Iden arent "minor guys" then I don't know why Savage Opress would be considered one. Not only is he voiced by the Legendary Clancy Brown, but his entire style is different than Maul. Savage is a tank when it comes to physical damage, but an absolute pushover when it comes to force powers defense. He is definitely not the speedy fighter maul is.
I mean really once we have Doku and General Grevious and Jango that fills out all villains with any real film screen time. Who do we get after that? The "walking Meme" Greedo? The "literally an extra" Dengar?
Now don't get me wrong, I would like those guys to make it as well, but they are the definition of minor guys. As long as a character can have an interesting play style they would be a great addition in my opinion, and with how much of an overhaul they put into progression makes it seem like they have long term plans for this game, which means after a few releases all the remaining major players will pretty much be covered.
Also, and this is actually the main reason I don't like the idea, it would stop those characters from being together, even though they belong together. If some one plays Savage Oppress, Darth Maul would be locked. It's like the Han Lando glitch but by design.
Injustice has the benefit (in this situation) of being a one on one format, where this works much better than a team format. I could see how this could work, and if it was the only option for these characters to be included then it would be better than nothing, but I think it would really unfortunate to lose the unique character styles and just have them as skins.

Every skin should be attainable via playing, even if they are very expensive. These skins would be so cool and I would consider paying for them.
I get this, I really do, I was just trying to have a realistic outlook on who we get as full slotted heroes in the future. Personally it seemed unlikely to me to have 2 separate dark side double blade users, even if savage would have a pretty cool style of brutish, animalistic attack moves. But if he did enter the game as a full fledged hero I wouldn’t oppose it in the least since you’re right, there are quite few A-list villains before you start getting obscure.
The design of a system like this wouldn't be a lockout on Maul to someone selecting, for example, Savage simply because in game they'd be the same person. Luke didn’t get a second selection on the hero bar just for the Hoth skin that locks the other out, it’s purely a personal skin on your hero.
It'd be exactly the same as it is now when a hero is already chosen. To the other teammates on a HvV screen you’d have Maul selected, it’d be Maul exactly just with a skin that you paid for to have him converted to Savage. Then he’d have Savage emotes and banter that is unique to that skin.
It would be I know, especially since most characters are quite unique. Maul and Opress together would be a sight to be behold(a terrifying one). I just think at some point they have to start making hard choices of who gets included and I want to see a large variety still make it. Like a Quinlan Vos skin on maybe Luke or a future hero. I’d pay $$ for that if it was implemented as a premier skin.
(Completionists or Collectors might be willing to obtain every skin. I know I'll be buying a lot...)
Greedo the bounty hunter (which I hope will eventually be added as his own hero, considering the Darkside doesn't have a pistol user...) could get a Premier Skin of Jakoli. (Jakoli was a Rodian Bounty Hunter who died in an episode of The Clone Wars - The Box. Brief ""camera time"" But just his visuals simply placed over Greedo would be enough to add to the roster without thinking up new abilities, animations, or anything.)
*If* Savage Opress can't be made into his own Villain, I'd settle for taking him as a Premier Skin. (There was a glitch where multiple Mauls could be present in a match of HvV. So a feature to allow duplicate heroes in a match, only if a premier skin is equipped, might be feasible??)

Hate Rey for some reason? Pay €5.99/150,000 credits and get a Aayla Secura premier skin for her! We get Greedo and you want to be Jakoli instead? Premier skin. It’s a win win for EA and the fans. No current hero gets bumped from their spot unless you want to switch it up and the other spots are opened up for the highlight heroes/villains.
I think double heroes for premier skins might be a bit OP, imagine a palpatine and a palpatine with a premier skin on in at the same time... *shudders*

Light or dark?

More than one Palpatine styled character... That was an interesting thing to consider, but... Who else in Star Wars Canon exclusively uses lightning? Because of that, imo, Palpatine doesn't make a good base for *premier skins* he is too unique. (Although a good base for regular old "change your clothes today" skins, for sure.) ****So with premier skins what about more than one palpatine actually being in play...
To some extent, we have to have more/new base heroes added for variations in fighting styles. From there; good premier skins *that actually fit the context* would be a requirement. As an example... Obviously we wouldn't want Gregar Typho being a premier skin for Luke.
We need Base Kits with dual weapons (blaster or melee) to pave the road for more characters/premier skins who use that particular style of fighting. (****Like if we got a Ventress, she could have a Premier skin of Palpatine from when he takes on Maul and Savage.)
*Uses the forum's search feature* ((Premier skin for Palpatine thread)) ((Premier skins like injustice2 thread))
It looks like people just didn't want Snoke to be Palpatine's Premier skin? That's pretty specific. (I mean, if I proposed that Jar Jar be a premier skin for Leia, I imagine a lot of people would reject that idea too, but that doesn't mean all premier skins are bad ideas. Just some of them are.)
Hahah... Avert your eyes when I play, if you don't want to see characters acting like they shouldn't. Because I do not play characters as they should act/fight. ((Unless it's Kylo & Leia is the target, then I will make Kylo run away or just stand there and *not* kill his mom... Or... Sometimes I'll actively try and force pull her to safety away from being gangbanged by the rest of the team... But besides that!)) I adore parodies, crack-pairings, and fan-fics. I'd happily purchase a Jakoli Premier skin, regardless if the base Greedo isn't as much as a bamf in the fighting style department. (Which, actually, they both just used pistols ...So... It's not like there's really much difference there. *Shurg*)
I think if a person desperately wants to play as their favorite character, they might be willing to overlook a few things, in order to just have that character in the game, at all. But I dunno. I can't really gauge other people's passion and their willingness to turn a blind eye for something they love... No more than I can gauge people's control-freaky, nature being so restrictive, to the point that; some people want to play literally set battles that they would lose, because "that's how it would have happened in some episode or another. " (Yeesh)
This, I heard we're only getting 8 additional characters anyways.
I’d strongly feel like we’ll be seeing these “Legendary” skins for our current heroes that will be complete with new dialogue to match their new look:
- Young Han(Solo movie)
- Possibly old Han(TFA)
- Young Lando(Solo movie)
- Old Grandmaster Luke(TFA/LJ)
I don’t think I’d expect anything other than those 4 to start with as they are the most logical choices, but I hope to be pleasantly surprised!OMG NO it CANT, Would be beyond lame to see Anakin with Vader's moves, performing them at Vader's speed.
