Everyone wants the game to bend to them. Maybe you should play it the way it's meant to be played!

I would lovelovelovelovelove it if Selkath become playable.

There was a Selkath jedi knight on Tython, so it's plausible.

I don't know why people use such big words sometimes. On the other hand, why be a wise-a*s when you can be a sagacious rectum.

Life is the enemy. Death is our solace.

We can dream but I sometimes think we have to be a little sensible. We know they wont do certain species and so should focus on getting to play the ones they might do.

Personaly I want to see Gran and Kel'dor. CAn we get Gran added to the front page. Didn't see them on there.

Of course what I really dream of is a Dev actually telling us if new playable species will be in Legacy and not just opening up current ones to new classes.

Torgruta - This beautiful painty face carnivorous race is all over the game but not playable. I'd like to make one. A Female. She'd be the hottest Jedi in the Galaxy.

Nautolan - These big eyed amphibian mud skippes are awesome. I want one with a Jamaican accent, maybe I'd name it Shabba, or Sean Paul, because their head extensions look like dreadlocks!

Devaronian - They look like Satan!!! So Sithy Fresh! I could make King Dabura and get some DBZ in my SWTOR

Cathar - If youtube has taught us anything, it's that kitties = hits. Yeah, okay... Most people hate Aric Jorgan, so why not let us redeem him with our own Pride of Bi-pedial cats? lots of creative customization potential there as well.

What ever the hell YODA is - Not much is known about these ancient half-pint force sensitive dactyl thingies, we just know they are awesome and have great potential to do all the awesome on the battlefield.


*Recommended by Archifikoss*

Chagrian - Blue face horn heads. They look kinda Torgruta without the awesome hat look and Maybelline make-up job.

Pau-an - They look like Nosfaratu with a pimp political sense.

*Recommended by TItanten*

Echani - Epic Albino's that like to fight nearly naked! Hates Mandalorians Perfect to be added with them.

Gungan - Jar Jar Binks... I think many would create one just so they can commit suicide...

Falleen - I'd imagine they'd be all darkside and stuff since they are subject to passion. Or could make for an interesting Republic class as well.

Duros - They look like Area 51 aliens! We can relate to that!

Mandalorian - The Most bad *** strategic cult race class in the universe. Yes please!


*Recommended by Cooltrip*

Voss - Chosen race of the Force? they believe this. They like... Jewish a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away!

*Recommended by Phadian_gess* (and by popular demand)

Rodian - Fawesome Bugeyed long mouthed Reptile people with Mohawks of awesome. Get you some

*Recommended by Alohen*

Mon Calamari - You know Admiral Ackbar?! IT'S HIS RACE!

Kel-Dorian - Honestly, Ugly as hell, makes for some really cool facial attachment options!

*Recommended by CrazYvan*

Zelton - Oh Lawd! Do want these pink hue skinned lovelies! I hear they smell nice, like bubblegum! om nom nom!

Recommended by djwhitfield

Kaleesh - You may know one of these sinister looking bat faced lizard things from the clone wars. It wields 4 stolen light sabers... RUN AWAY!

Weequay - They communicate through smell... this could make for some interesting dialog LoL!

Droids - It is touched on Droids without Memory wipe becoming completely sentient. Could be fun.

Recommended by BigAndyW

Bothans - A neutral Yif race since all they really want to do is be heard and be social, could makes for some cool social point bonus.

Recommended by Bombad_jedi

Cerean - This race is clearly a head of the class! They have an extra heart for their Big *** brains! And unlike regular Jedi, they can fornicate! sold!

Recommended by Izorii

Gran - These 3 eye'd goat faced grass eaters may not have much in assortment to them visually, but their females have 3 whole *****, and that has to count for something.

Any races you guys think would be a good idea? I'll edit them in if I think they are fitting!
I'd love to see Cerean, Togruta, and Nautolan, not to mention Chagrian but the only problem is how to get their heads to fit in the headgear. They managed twi'leks, so I guess it isn't impossible.

I don't see much point in Echani. There aren't any racial bonuses, so just make a pale white haired human and you're already there (that's what I'm doing). There's simply not enough to make them worth adding as a race. The same is true of a race I'd love to see, Kiffar. Just too human. I have slightly similar concerns with Zeltrons to Sith Purebloods and Falleen to Mirialians, but not quite as bad. Those to might make it.

I see no problem with adding Cathar. Honestly, I think they should have been there at launch. They are well within the parameters that BioWare has set. They'd make great troopers, Jedi of either class, and Sith Inquisitors. Maybe even BH's. Yes please on the Voss as well.

There were a few mentioned that I don't think will ever see the light of play, as BioWare seems to be stuck on making more or less humanoid races playable. They have there reasons for this, which they've stated, and I'm not going to go into that. I'm just gonna say that it's not likely.

Finally, I have one race to add to the list: Arkanian. Gene spicers who mess with their DNA so much that it's difficult to say what an Arkanian actually is. Could have, or not have, pointy ears, yellow glowing eyes, any skin tone or hair color they want, and any other number of strange physical tratis, some of which could be borrowed from other species. I'd have them available to all of the Force user classes, and perhaps to IA's as well.

You'd also get ripped off on character customization. Only one body type, and zero facial customization.

I dont think head gear should be an issue for species. I think BW could have saved them selevs a word of hurt if with Twi'lek they had just disabled hoods and head gear. There is already an option to do it, set it to on for species with unusual heads and dont enable it.

Most of the species on the initial post are already in game, have spoken basic at least once in game and could use the standard body types. I hope we get to see them all. I am currently leveling a BH just to get legacy points and do crafting for when some or all of these species become playable and I can move my main over.

I support Kel'Dor as a playable species. They just need a voice filter and some additional customization options and there you go. Another probable races that would fit well into most class stories are Nautolans, Togruta, Devaronian, Cathar, Rodian, Weequay, Mon Calamari, Voss, and some others.
Droids and Wookiees would be fantastic, but they would require their own stories or even classes probably.

Also I don't like having to worry about headpieces not fitting the alien. If you make a MMO, you should be prepared to make your headpieces fit the available species, not just make it clip like crazy or hide the helmet completely just because the developers are too lazy to remodel them a bit to fit a Twi'lek, or other alien race.
