Next species up for a community vote?

For anyone who missed the livestream the other day, the Devs indicated that the Cathar sold well, they are looking to do another species but have no timetable yet, are considering 3 possible species for the next one. For anyone interested, here's a link the livestream and Dulfy's notes on what was said: http://dulfy.net/2013/06/10/swtor-pa...es/#more-44280

Who are these 3 species? Inquiring minds what to know. One of the main reasons we got the Cathar is because they were deemed a popular community choice in early polling. The Cathar were also put into the CM and we were told future species would depend upon their performance....therefore, leaving the species feature up to us to endorse or not endorse it with our Cartel Coins. As a result, the next species should be a highly community-driven choice. Will there be an official poll to determine which of the 3 will be picked?

Wow.

After all the hate I've seen it get, I'm kinda glad it sold pretty well. I never bought it because I thought it looked extremely hideous, but I just want my damn Togruta Sentinel!

Fingers crossed for Nautolan. As the person above me said, Togruta would be nice too

Togruta all the way, that is what I want more than anything. Before the game released I was hoping to play a Togruta, glad I might still get that chance.

The only thing I'm worried about is how helmets will work on Togruta.

Jawa or Ugnaut - We need a little race as playable Much the same as Gnomes and Goblins in another MMO

Togruta, Nautolans, and Kel Dor, I would guess. They seem to top the polls most often and wouldn't be terribly hard to add to the game. They all have humanoid bodies, speak Basic, and have a reasonably amount of potential differentiation (that is to say, degrees to which they can be customized).

I bought Cathar, just to support the idea of getting new species. I hate the Cathar and would never play one, but I figured if they went well, other species would follow, so that's good.

I don't think they'll put any of the shorter species in as playable ones. They have preset templates for the cutscenes for average human size/shape. Also, neither speak basic

Edit: Which is a shame, would love to play Jawa

There are several cutscenes with Ugnauts It is absolutely doable.
