Agreed here, why Cathar when we're missing so many of the essential species from the Star Wars universe?
Firstly, a Cathar over Wookies as the first playable species introduced after launch!? Get real.
Where are the Rodians, Mon Calamarians, Trandoshans, Sullustans, or any others that are easily recognizable and have existing character models within the game?
Secondly, there's absolutely no benefit, besides the aesthetic, to creating alts of different species.
How about starting polls for the inclusion of content like this?
