With KotET closing in, what we will see about classes?
I doubt that in this expansion, but maybe in some other we could use more weapons for non-force users. I don't see a reason why bounty hunter (or any other non-force user class) couldn't/wouldn't wield a vibrosword, blaster rifle, sniper rifle, assault cannon, techstaff or techblade. Lightsabers should stay Sith and Jedi only weapons, but there are many other weapons that our other characters could wield.
Maybe even introducing new faction (playable one), since Republic-Empire alliance is getting so dull and worn out.
There are plenty of them in game such as: Zakuul, Mandalorians, various pirates like we saw them on Rishi, smugglers... etc.
