Yeah, from the direction the game is going right now it's hard to imagine where scum units would come from. If they keep the GCW setting, there's not much there to go off of from the films. The fringe/criminal elements on screen are more like individual bounty hunters or a ragtag gang of mooks working for Jabba. Not really the organized militaries of the Empire/Rebels.
There's a lot in the prequel era that fits the setting though, with Clone armies vs. Droid armies.

That said, if they want to keep a release cadence up they've either got to expand the timeline with no regard to mixing the era/settings (like the SW LCG, Destiny, and X-Wing) or they mine deep into the old EU (LCG especially). I expect they'll probably expand the timeline and go wide before they go deep.
Or maybe there's a certain number of points each side can use to add an irregular mercenary type unit. It's all speculation at this point though.

I think that we could definitely see the inclusion of S&V 'mobs' (think Jabba's guards on skiffs in the fight around the Sarlacc pit) in addition to individual bounty hunters who can be 'hired' by Rebels or Imperials.

As for the release schedule, there's a ton of possibilities just from the GCW era alone now thanks to the new movies and Rebels. From Rogue One alone you have Saw's troops, more elite Rebel troops, shoretroopers, death troopers, imperial security droids (maybe more if I'm forgetting?). Hell, we already know of two new stormtrooper variants that will be appear in Solo. Then there're all the inevitable other auxiliaries, like ewoks and wookiees. They could be releasing stuff for years without even getting into the ST or PT settings.

That said, given what they've done with X-Wing, they'll definitely start dipping into the EU at some point.

Lol at the fact that they're clearly trying not to show the Han model's face. The Luke model's face actually looks pretty good -- how did they gently caress up Han so badly?

For everyone who's gotten their hands on Legion stuff so far: what's the general consensus on the quality of the figures when compared to other plastic mini manufacturers? Some of the pictures I've seen of the figures (not the vehicles, which generally seem to look good) make the average model quality look decent, but then other times they just look janky. Is it consistent at least?

Can't wait until everyone's complaining that the Mandalorian mercenaries in Wave IX make the Imperial Jumptroopers of Wave VII obsolete and that the one upgrade card necessary to make Sy Snootles a good general is only found in the $100 Sarlacc pit expansion.

BTW, for anyone concerned that there might be a shortage of new trooper types for future releases, the new Solo movie alone has introduced Mud Troopers, Range Troopers, and Patrol Troopers with a new Imperial speeder bike.

The new Solo trailer showed some sort of heavy weapon AT-ST variant being dropped onto the battlefield.

Also a battle involving Mudtroopers, who are definitely going to be a popular option whenever FFG includes them.

Just to follow up on this: these images show some new armour, vehicles, and weapons from Solo in a Sabacc game; figures from the battle on Mimban; and a shot from the set of the battle.

It seems that the new walker, called an AT-DT, is a smaller AT-ST straight up armed with two 88s :captainpop:

Edit: and a higher quality screencap
