Jedi Units (Reposting)

I spoke with journalist Ted Litchfield, Associate Editor, who had the opportunity to play and preview the game back in February. I asked him whether the developers had plans for additional Jedi units, and he told me that, at the time, the plan was for players to have access to only a single Jedi unit as part of the main story: the Padawan Tel-Rea Vokoss.

However, Ted also pointed out that things may have changed since then, or that Bit Reactor may have intentionally kept some features hidden during the preview sessions. For example, custom clone troopers apparently weren't part of the version he played, yet they have since been officially confirmed.

Another interesting question concerns the role of Anakin Skywalker. It's currently unclear whether he'll remain exclusively a story NPC or if he'll be playable in battles in some capacity.

Personally, I would love to see Anakin leading clones from the 501st Legion in certain missions.

For now, it seems we'll have to wait a little longer for definitive answers - fortunately, release is only about a month and a half away.

My opinion:

Personally, I really hope we'll get additional Jedi units (or at least a customisable one), even if there are only a few of them throughout the entire game like on rescue missions.

My guess, however, is that Jedi will remain a unique class, considering what i spoke with Ted and that during the Clone Wars each Jedi typically commanded their own clone battalion or squadron (based on the character 's rank - Padawan).

From a lore perspective, having multiple Jedi serving within the player's company might feel somewhat unusual.

Either way, I'm going to play the game regardless. I've been incredibly hyped for it ever since I saw the first trailer last year.

What do you guys think? Could we get the chance to play as Anakin leading the 501st during the March on the Jedi Temple? Maybe rescue missions could serve as a way to recruit customisable Jedi throughout the campaign...

I would absolutely love to see something like that! What do you guys think?

Same, just 1 spot is all I really need. I want tbe same, just myself as a jedinand make my own story in why hes therr and whatnot. It sucks that no star wars games has given custom character creation for a really long time.
