Cathar as a Playable Species

Cathar is going to be a Legacy unlocked only race, so it will likely be neither a Republic nor Imperial race.

What's your source for this?

The initial announcement at whatever con it was announced at. Their description when announcing the race was soemthing like, "Cathar will be our first race unlocked exclusively through legacy." or something along those lines.

I never liked the cathar, they always seemed way too lame. Imo more traditional races should be playable like the Togruta or Nautolan. Its just that cat people really don't appeal to me and I hope that they are not the only new playable race.

They're the first, but I've no doubt they will be far from the last. Torguta and Nautolan are very likely; I'd put money on them.

Same here. Also, don't count out the Zeltrons or the Kiffar. Not much different from humans, there.

retconned into the holiday special which was rejected as anything to do with Star Wars by Lucas himself. I don't know why you people insist on using 2nd rate evidence from some ridculous EU. Your ignorance is your own. I grew up with unadulterated pure Star Wars, before every man and his dog wanted to add and seriously damage the credibility of a once great IP.... further ruined by money leeching devs.

I salute you on your unwavering devotion to watering down of this great universe by demanding and fighting for rubbish of the highest order. What's next Grays with ray guns?? Don't take this personally (unlike your own attack on my post) I'll lump you in with the rest of the people slowly and methodically pillaging any decency left in a galaxy far far away....

I think source material should be stricter i.e. the 2 triliogies and anything offically released such as Shadows Of The Empire etc.
I don't like a huge percentage of Star Wars EU, that is true, I don't like certain things within the 2 core trilogies but I will accept those things so no not 'what I like'. EU I feel it moves away from the essence of the universe far too much. But such is the slavering money whores at LA.

Then why are you even playing this game?

This is the Expanded Universe, and you badmouth the game every chance you get, anyhow. Wow, bro. So much hate from you for everything Expanded Universe outside the movies. Luckily, the Cathar are coming to SWTOR and there is literally nothing you can do about it. The only option open to you to avoid Cathar filled game servers is to quit. And judging by your previous trash-talk about how horrible this game is, I think WoW is more for you.

In closing, if you really have a problem with the Star Wars Canon System, I suggest writing a very strongly worded letter to Leland Chee and/or George Lucas. Make sure you tell them exactly how you feel about their Canon system, and how you believe BioWare is abusing it. I'm sure they'll listen to you, as long as you word it strongly enough. Go all out. Don't hold back.

I hope they are not alone and I also hope we dont have to wait months between each species release. I want to create a new character and have a new main with a species I want to play.
